Merging Skill Levels

For small brackets, you may need to take the next step of merging skill levels together. This will create a merged bracket for playing purposes. Senior Games qualifying and medals will still be awarded based on the original Division/Age group that the player signed up for.

!Do NOT move players from one event to another. Merge the brackets to combine players.

Merging Events – Merging events will combine all players from two or more events into a new one. The old events 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:

• Scroll down to one of the events to be merged and click on the copy icon.
• 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 be hidden from the event list and will be automatically switched to inactive status.

*Turn on the Hiding switch at the top of the event list to view the hidden events.

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