Merging Events to Create Playing Brackets

Merging Events – Merging events will move all players from two or more events into a new one. The old events will show on your event list but will no longer display on the public site.

!Merging events should take place after registration closes. If a player or team registers for a merged event, and you later unmerge that event for any reason, they will be left in the merged event and will have to be moved manually. The merging process keeps track of the original event to facilitate the awarding of multiple sets of medals.

To Merge Events:

• Edit one of the events to be merged.
• Select Copy Event for Merge
  This will create a new event with the same configuration as the copied event with some extra options on the sidebar menu.
  

• Edit the parameters of the new event to reflect those needed for the merged group of players.
• Select Save and Proceed Next
  This will bring up a screen with a list of potential events to merge based on your parameters.
  
• Click on the Don’t Merge checkbox of the events you want to combine. That will change them to Merge. Click on the green Merge button.
  
• The new event will show on your list of events with a Green link symbol. The original events will show with a Red link symbol and will be automatically switched to inactive status.

*Events may be unmerged by editing the newly merged event and selecting the Unmerge Events option on the left side menu bar.
