Registration: Players, entries and payments

This guide is for tournament organizers who need to move from player registration to ready-to-generate brackets. You will add players, create entries per competition, and prepare seeding before bracket generation.

Before you start, it helps to know the difference:

  • Players are people in the tournament and can join multiple competitions.
  • Entries are competition registrations (one player in singles, two players in doubles/mixed doubles).

Add players and entries manually​

  1. Go to People > Players and click Add player.
  2. Search for an existing club member or create a new player profile.
  3. Assign the player to one or more competitions as needed.
  4. Go to People > Entries and click Add entry.
  5. Select the competition, choose the player(s), and set a seed value if required.
  6. Repeat until each competition has complete entries.

You can also bulk-create entries from People > Players by selecting multiple players and clicking Create entries.

tip

The players and entries screens will show you entries that have an issue you need to resolve. A warning icon will show next to entries that need more players, or players that are not registered for any competition.

Prepare brackets after entries are ready​

  1. Confirm there are no warning icons in People > Players or People > Entries.
  2. Review seed values for entries you want separated in early rounds.
  3. Open each competition and generate its bracket using the selected format.
  4. Verify first-round pairings before publishing or starting matches.

Expected result​

  • Players are registered at the tournament level.
  • Every competition has valid entries (and seed values where needed).
  • Brackets are generated successfully with first-round matches ready.

Troubleshooting​

  • Cannot generate a bracket: Check for incomplete entries or missing players in an entry.
  • Player is missing from a competition: Add the player to the competition from People > Players or create an entry manually.
  • Doubles entry is invalid: Make sure two players are assigned to each doubles or mixed doubles entry.
  • Seeding looks wrong: Update seed values in People > Entries before regenerating.

Player sign-up via the MixItOne portal​

You can allow players to self-register through the MixItOne portal to reduce admin work.

For detailed information on configuring player sign-up, including setting up payment methods, descriptions, and enabling sign-ups per competition, see the Player Sign-Up Configuration guide.
