A tournament in 360Player is a structured competition between your own teams, teams from other clubs, or both — with its own schedule, standings, and optionally a playoff bracket, all managed from one place.

Every tournament goes through the same lifecycle: an admin builds it in Draft status inside the tournament workbench, then publishes it so participating teams see their matches on their calendars. Publishing doesn't lock the tournament in — you can unpublish to make changes and republish later without losing any data.

Creating a tournament also creates a matching competition behind the scenes, so every game it generates is tagged and shows up together in stats and filters. That competition can't be picked when creating a stand-alone calendar event — the tournament engine owns its own schedule.

What a tournament looks like depends on what you configure, not on a type you pick upfront:

See Create a tournament for how to configure each format.

You can enroll your own groups, external opponents, or a mix of both. For individual-player sports, such as tennis or padel, you enroll players directly instead of teams.

Once teams are placed into groups and/or a bracket, 360Player generates the fixture list for you — pick a date range, days of the week, and time windows, and it books games across your available fields automatically. Individual games can also be added by hand.

Standings update automatically as results come in. See Manage a tournament for entering results and everyday upkeep.

Each tournament has its own page with Overview, Games, Playoffs, Groups, Participants, and About tabs — the same page whether you're an admin, a coach, or a participant, though only admins get edit controls. You can also make a tournament publicly visible, which puts the same page on your club's public website at its own link, with any tabs you don't want shown hidden.
