Before you can submit a tournament for approval the tournament director will need to ensure that the checklist is complete.
Only when all four are showing green then you will be able to submit. 
You can view your checklist status from the top bar when you are creating your tournament or by clicking the complete the checklist link.
The checklist has four categories and when complete will show green and not complete are yellow.
Add events: Your tournament must have at least one event attached to it. This is where the detail of who the event is for. Further details on adding events are available in the Tournament Application article.
Assign a tournament director: The tournament director must be an approved tournament director, be registered to the Serve Tennis account you are submitting from and safe play approved. In this section, it will give you what else is needed. If you are a TD at a number of different facilities, you need to register for each facility individually.
Examples may show:
{Name of TD} Invitation not accepted) - in this instance, the TD has not accepted his invitation to the facility's Serve Tennis account. You can check the status of the invitation by checking TD in the contacts tab in Serve Tennis. As an administrator, you should ensure that the TD has the TD box ticked in the roles. (You can see more information here
Tournament director is not Safe Play approved - if your TD is Safe Play approved, it will automatically update. It may be that their Safe Play is linked with another email address or it has expired. You can check this by heading to the programming tab.
In the Staff on the top right-hand side of the module, add your coach and it will display their Safe Play status. More information on Safe Play is available here: Welcome to Safe Play
{Name of TD} Not a contact) - this is when the TD has not accepted their invitation from the National, Section, or District staff.
