STEP 1 - Registration
Click where it says "Login/Register" at the top. If you have not applied for a password you must, otherwise it will ask for your login and password. This creates security and will allow only you access to your brackets. Note: You can change your password. See the FAQ.
STEP 2- Set-up the Tournament Information
1) "New Tournament/Event" - Allows you to create a new tournament or brackets. Note- If you want to add a bracket under a tournament you have already set up, select that tournament from your list.
2) Complete the Tournament Information. This information will apply to all the brackets you create under this tournament.
3
) Tournament Name- The Title of all your brackets will be displayed like this: "Tournament Name - Bracket Name".
Example: Tournament Name=2000 Girls Basketball, Bracket Name=4A.
Displayed as: "2000 Girls Basketball - 4A" 4)
Location- only enter if every game in the bracket will be played at the same place. There is a feature later that allows you to enter location game-by-game and/or more specific location like court number.
5) Organization Name & State- help our computer organize your brackets
6) Organization's URL- if you enter a link here, your organization name will be linked on all the bracket pages.
7) Sport- this is important to enter, it's another way the computer distinguishes your brackets
STEP 3- Bracket Information
Create the first bracket.
Bracket Notes will only be displayed on that bracket. These notes can be html coded to create links back to your webpages.
Note- you will learn this later, but you can have different bracket types under one tournament name. The Tournament information "sticks" with each bracket, but each bracket has it's own information too.
You are ready to create your brackets. The computer automatically puts you into "Quick Set-up" mode, which is the quickest way to create your bracket.
