How do I start an existing Event?

Once an Event has been created, organizers can begin the Event by clicking the "Start Event" button in the side bar. Upon doing so, organizers will enter the Player Registration phase.

The Player Registration phase allows the tournament organizers to finalize the player list and ensure that all teams are valid. Once all players have been marked as "Valid", the "Complete Registration" button will become enabled and clicking it will take organizers to the Round 1 setup.

How do I edit the details of an existing Event?

Once an Event has been created, navigate to the Event Details page, then click the "Edit Event Details" button in the page header. This will take organizers back to the Edit Event page they had access to when they created the Event.

How do I delete an Event?

Navigate to the Edit Event page (see previous help entry) and click the "..." button in the page header. Click the "Delete Event" option to delete this Event.

How do I add or remove players from my Event?

Event organizers can add or remove players before the start of the event or during the Player Registration phase. Organizers can add existing users by searching for them by username or real name.

Event organizers may also add Guest users by entering a guest name. If they have recurring players, we recommend they encourage them to create a HCUnits.net account and self-register as this allows their results to be tracked across Events.

To remove players, simply click the "X" button to the right of the entry in the player list.

How do I ensure a player's Team is valid?

Event Organizers do not have access to player teams until the event has started and they are in the Player Registration phase. This is to ensure that players can safely add and modify their teams without violating their privacy prior to the event start.

Once the Player Registration phase has started, organizers will be able to access player teams through the link in the player list. They will also be able to immediately see if a team has errors by looking for the "!" icon next to the team icon. Tooltips will provide more information about the nature of the error, such as invalid builds or mis-matching formats.

Clicking on the player team will reveal the full details of the team and allow organizers to work with the player to meet the format and requirements of the Event.

How do I ensure players don't change their team after an Event has started?

During the Player Registration phase, when an organizer has marked the player as "valid", an archival copy of their team is made. This copy cannot be modified and will be the team visible to other players and spectators henceforth.

How do I update a player's team after it was validated?

If a player wants to make a last-minute change to their team after it was validated by the organizers, simply uncheck the "valid" box, re-validate the team, and then click the "valid" box again. Doing so will create a new archival copy of the team with the changes.
