As we’re always diving in our statistics, we’ve come to realize that a decent part of the thousands of tournaments created on our platform are not entirely filled with the proper datas and infos.
Many factors leads to this situation: lack of time, too many things to handle during the event, lack of knowledge about the possible features…Numbers show us that better data-filled a tournaments lead to better experience (before, during and after) for the competitors and the audience alike.
[Organizers] Tip: What are the different placement methods?
You have three methods to place your participants in your tournament:
Participant number:
Toornament will optimize the placement with the participant number used as seed. This method has more options according to the stage type and order (group, or bracket, first or second stage).
Random:
As the name suggest.
Manual:
Don’t forget, you can manually place each participant by clicking on the desired slot, directly in the bracket or group.
And at any time you can reset your placement to start again from a blank page.

[Organizers] Tip: Empower your admins
Toornament allows you to give specific permissions to your admins, depending on their role and level. Select a tournament in your dashboard, and click on “Settings / Permissions” in the menu. You can set their area of influence, allowing them to only manage the registrations, or report the results.

New update: score information, new languages and more
This week, we’ve updated Toornament once again with 4 new features.
1. Score information
The groups now display the score information: score for each participant, score against each participant, and the score difference. In a tie situation, the score difference is now used to decide the rank between participants with the same amount of points. You still have the ability to make an other choice with the decider functionnality.
The score information is also displayed on the tournament widget. It’s a new valuable data to share to your audience
2. New languages supported
As a European based company, we know the importance of local language, so our two widgets, tournament navigator and registration, support now 4 more languages: Danish, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Each time you share your widget you will be able to select the language to use.
3. Registration email notification
Want to receive an email for each new registration request on your tournament? You can now enable this feature in your registration settings. Never miss again a request.
4. Rules
Finally for this new update, we added a rules field, displayed on the tournament widget. This was a common feedback request.
Try those new functionalities, and continue to send us great feedback.
[Organizers] Tip: home and away matches in your groups
By default when you create a groupstage each participant plays each other once. But you can easily create the home and away matches in Toornament.
You will find the home and away option in the structure section. Select your groups, go to the configuration and the structure tab. You will find the pairing method. Select double robin, it will generate home and away matches
