As part of the checklist for submitting a tournament, you will be asked to complete the tournament information in the web info section. These details are not a mandatory requirement to submit the application, but they will provide more information for the section staff to approve your tournament and for the players / parents to have information about the upcoming tournament. Additionally, the tournament information should complete in order to publish your tournament to the public to provide the information about the tournament.
As a tournament director you will be able to edit this information even after the event has been published. This is helpful if you need to update the information or there are last minute changes such as rain delays or if you have to cancel the tournament. For the same information in video guide, please see below and here for information on logos.
