Preparing Scenario 1 Qualifying Events

Select Live Console from the Tournament Management Menu.

*NOTE: Events without teams will not show on the live console although they will show in the One Step Verify page (the next step in this process). So when you start the process there are no teams in the Qualifier, Consolation, or Bonus Draw events. That means they don’t show in the live console. But when you go to the One Step Verify page they will show in the select box at the top.

1. Click One Step Verify
2. Select the Qualifier Event
3. Two events should show, the Qualifier event on the left, with no teams, and the Main Draw on the right.
   

4. Move all needed teams from the Main Draw to the Qualifier side by clicking the arrows. (this is required for the process to work)
5. Click the green Save Team Lists button at the top.

6. When the page loads, above the main draw list, click the TBD select box and add the number of TBDs you need to the Main Draw. TBD teams are placeholders. Adding them here allows the TD to verify the event and generate a planner with the correct number of teams for the bracket.
7. Sort the 2 lists the way you want the teams to be seeded.

*NOTE: Teams will automatically be sorted by their team rating (unless this tournament is being run by an association that has a point system and that point system is integrated into our platform by Pickleball Inc)

8. Click the green Save Team Lists button. The two events now have the correct number of teams and are ready to be verified.
   

9. Verify the events using the normal verifying process or by clicking the Auto Verify button to initiate the One Step Verify process.
10. Although not required, you can select the Consolation (Points Draw) from the select box at the top and add the number of TBDs you’ll use for this bracket. You can do the same for the Bonus Draw. This will allow you to run the daily planner. Events must be verified to be included in the daily planner.

!TBDs are not required for Main Draw, Consolation (Points Draw), or Bonus Draw events. Pickleball Brackets will automatically place the correct teams into these events based on the settings and automatically verify the events.TBDs are usually created for these events only so the correct bracket sizes can be used for the Daily Planner and so the public can see the brackets with TBDs in them.
