Tournament dates

Ole Kristian Engvoll Updated by Ole Kristian Engvoll

Most important things to know

  • You do not need to be correct about start and end times for a date. Set start and end to your maximum values. If your tournament starts 09:45AM, just enter 09:00AM as start time.
  • Make dates inactive if you have a lot of dates. Inactive dates will not show up, and the computation will be smoother for long and heavy tournaments. NOTE: This is used for tournaments with more then 10 dates and +1000 matches, 
  • It is possible to change tournament dates in your regsitration site. Changes are imported into TXO.
  • Column "Description" is only for your own sake. It is not shown any place else.

Window explanation

  1. Press the button "New" to make a new tournament date.
  2. And this is the delete button. NOTE: It is NOT possible to delete dates which have matches. You must delete the matches before you delete the date!
  3. Fastest way to add new date: Click on a date in calendar, enter time and then click button "Save selected date and time". The new tournament date will show up in the grid.
  4. Click into this cell to change date and/or time.
  5. Endter number of hours for each day. The column "End" is calculate from "Hours".
  6. You can compress each tournament date to show only enough of the day based on the matches. If first match start 13PM, this function will make edit the tournament date to start from 12PM. If no matches exists on a tournament date, this date will be set inactive. See example below.
Example of compress dates
  • 25.nov will be changed to end at 3PM after compress.

Inactive date

It is possible to set a date to be inactive. This is mainly if you are unsure if this date shall be used. Otherwise, we recommend to delete unused dates.

  1. Right click on a column header.
  2. Drag column "Set inactive" up to the header area.
  3. In order to make changes for later, click "Save layout".

Add several dates

A tournament spanning several weeks, with matches each tuesday from 18:00 to 23:00 can be easily made.

NOTE: Only tournament with last date minus start date bigger than 21, will see "Multiselect dates".

  1. Enter start week and last week number. Match date will include both start and last week number. It is no problem if the week is passing new year.
  2. Enter inactive weeks. Use comma (,) to separate. Use line (-) to include all inactive weeks between. For example "45, 48, 51-3, 11". None of weeks 45,48,51,52,53,1,2,3,11 will be included.
  3. Enter the spesific day for each week. You need to do this twice if you want to include two days (or more).
  4. Enter start and end time for each date. And then click Save.

Deleting all dates which has no matches / Compress dates

  1. Just click on button "Delete dates". All dates without matches are deleted. This is done if you have made way to many dates.
  2. If you want to delete dates and in addition compress dates with matchs to be as short as possible, use "Compress dates". If a date is set from 10:00 to 23:00, but has only matches from 14:00 to 18:00 the start and end time for this date will be set to 13:00 and 19:00 (that is one hour earlier and one hour later than the matches are spanning).
