Things to Do and Publishing have now been moved to one tab in your tournament settings, the Dashboard.  

The Dashboard has 3 tabs: Overview, Tasks, and Requests. Before you can show your tournament to the world, you'll need to complete the required actions on the Tasks tab. You can then go to the Overview tab to publish each section of your tournament. Lastly, the Requests tab is where you can view players who have been invited to your tournament and whether or not they've accepted the invite.
​

In order to get your tournament in the perfect shape prior to publishing it, we've laid out a few tasks you'll need to complete. 

• First, you'll need to add an event to your tournament so that attendees have something to enter! Clicking the Create Event button will take you to the event creation page. Follow the steps listed here to finish setting up your event.

Only one event is required, but if you'd like to add more, you can do so from the Events tab.
​

• Next, you'll need to add a registration end date. This will be the absolute last day that people can register for your tournament. 

Clicking the Add Date button will take you to the Details page, where you'll be able to set the end date at the very top.

**As a note, you can change this date at any time.

• Last up are the tasks to add a profile image/banner and customize your homepage. A tournament with cool graphics and an interesting layout is sure to wow potential attendees and entice more people to enter. It's also important to include details here about the tournament that attendees will need to know.

Clicking the Edit Details button will take you to your public homepage, where you can edit many settings like the text that appears here, the order of the different sections, background colors for the sections, etc. 

To learn more about adjusting these settings, check out our articles on customizing your tournament home page and customizing your widgets.

Clicking the Upload Images button will take you to the Details page where you can add a profile image and/or a banner.

If you dismiss any tasks, you can bring them back up later by clicking Restore!
​

The Overview tab provides some neat at-a-glance stats for your tournament, but more importantly it's the new spot for publishing registration, events, and the tournament page itself. 

Clicking the button that says Publish will bring up a window that allows you to change the visibility of that section to Public, or back to Admins Only if it's set to Public. Each section controls something different. For more information on how to publish your tournament, check out this article.

The requests tab shows the status of invitations sent to players who have been manually added to your tournament, along with important information such as who added them, when they were added, what events they were added to, and whether they've accepted the invite.
