When creating a tournament, you may want to offer a variety of different events, however, after registration has closed, you may find that some events have low numbers or no registrations. At this point, after moving the players and prior to finalizing player selection, you can delete the events that have no registrations.
The benefit of deleting the events that are not being played is that it is easier for players to view the draws on the public side without having a long list of events in the drop down AND easier for the tournament desk management.
You can delete events at any stage of a tournament - ie in planning stage or after approval. You will not be able to delete events if there are players registered to that event.
Please see : Moving A Player(s) Into Another Event-Before Selections are Finalized to move the players.
NOTE: By deleting events - this action cannot be undone and all data will be lost. There is no way to retrieve the data.
To delete the event - you can do this individually or in bulk.
