Multi-tournament management, also known as linked tournaments, is a feature that allows Tournament Directors to link different level tournaments together. For example, you may be running a level 7 and junior circuit tournament at the same facility on the same day. With this feature you can manage both events in the same Tournament Desk. To activate this feature, please follow the steps below.
