How to lock parts of your event

Once part of your event is final, lock it. Nobody can change a locked part, you included, until someone unlocks it. That keeps a published schedule or a finished draw safe from a stray click by anyone on your team.

Before you start

• You need to be able to edit the event. Everyone else sees which parts are locked but can’t change the locks.

Steps

1. In your event’s planner, click the ⋮ button (More options) in the event header, then Locks. The lock pill under the event name in the sidebar opens the same window.

   

2. The Locks window has one switch per part of the event, each with a line saying what it freezes.

   

3. Turn on the switch for the part that’s final, such as Pools. It locks straight away.

   

4. The locked section now opens with a banner saying what is locked, and its sidebar link has a lock icon. Click Open locks on the banner when you need to change something.

   

5. To lock every part at once, click Lock all.

   

6. Every switch is on, and the sidebar pill reads Locked. The button becomes Unlock all, which unlocks everything in one click.

   

What each lock freezes

• Teams: adding, moving and removing teams.
• Pools: which pool each team is in, and their order.
• Matchups: who plays whom in each pool.
• Playoffs: the brackets and playoff games.
• Blueprint: the order the rounds are played in.
• Schedule: game times, courts, breaks and schedule generation.
• Referees: the referee list and assignments.
• Staff: the staff list and assignments.
