Registering for a tournament is fairly straightforward. The general steps are:

1) Link your account to your school in Tabroom, or create a new school

2) Add students and judges to your roster

3) Join a circuit

4) Click "Register" next to the tournament, and use the Entries and Judges tabs to enter students and judges from your roster into the tournament

Prerequisites

Before you can register for a tournament, you must have first have created/linked to a school, added students to your student roster, judges to your judge roster, and ensured your school is in the appropriate circuit. For more information on each of those steps, see the appropriate section in the manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a student trying to register for a tournament, you should NOT create a new school just to register yourself. Instead, ask your coach/director for access to your schools Tabroom account, and register yourself that way.

Adding Entries

Once your school has joined a circuit, your Tournaments tab will show you a list of upcoming tournaments that you can register for:

Click the "Register" button next to the tournament to get started. You can also click the red "X" next to a tournament to ignore it so it won't show up on your list. You can then choose "Show Ignored Tournaments" at the bottom if you want to add it back.

Once you click "Register," you may be asked to provide an Adult Contact for tournaments which require it. You can edit this information later on the General tab of your entry:

Next, click the Entries tab and then choose an Event on the sidebar. The number next to each event is the number of entries you currently have in that event.

Use the "Add Entry" box on the right to select a student(s) names, and then click "Add Entry:"

Once you have created entries, you will see them in your list, where you can edit or drop them:

Adding Entries To The Waitlist

If the tournament has a waitlist for an event, you can put students on it by using the box on the sidebar: user enter students-waitlist.png

Waitlisted entries will then appear in your entry list, where you can edit or drop them. You will be notified by email if the tournament accepts your entries off the waitlist. user enter students-waitlistentries.png

Adding Hybrids

At tournaments which allow Hybrids, you can enter them with the "Enter Hybrid Team" option in the sidebar:

Use the dropdown box to select the school you're entering a hybrid with:

Adding Judges

Once you have entered competitors, you can use the Judges tab to enter your judges. The sidebar will show you a list of judge groups you can enter judges in, and will appear in red if you have not entered enough judges to meet your commitment:

Choose a judge group on the right, and then use the Add Judges box in the sidebar to add a judge:

user enter judges-addjudges.png

Judges will then appear in your list, where you can edit or drop them:

user enter judges-existing.png

When adding a judge, you may be asked to provide additional details, such as how many prelim rounds they are entered for, or contact information for them:

Limiting Judge Availability

Once you have added a judge to your entry, you can notify the tournament if they will not be available for certain days/rounds. From your judge entry, click the link under the "Availability" column:

user enter judges-availability.png

Depending on the tournament, this will let you mark a judge as unavailable for particular rounds or days - click the button in the Available column to toggle between Yes and No:

user enter judge-striketime.png

If fines apply for being under your judging obligation, you will be shown the applicable amount.

Requesting Hired Judging

If a tournament has hired judging available, you can request it from the Judges tab by filling out either the number of judges (usually for IE's) or number of rounds (usually for debate events): user enter judges-hired.png

Once you have made a request, it will be visible on the Judges tab, where you can reduce or delete the request if necessary: user enter judges-hiredexisting.png

Dropping Entries

To drop your entire entry, click the red button in the sidebar - you'll be asked to confirm first:

user enter entry-drop.png

To drop individual entries or judges from an event, just select that event in the sidebar, and edit your entry from there.

Printing Your Registration

If you'd like a copy of your entire registration, you can use the links in the sidebar under "Printouts" - this will let you print your registration, an invoice, or export a spreadsheet with your entries:

user enter entry-printouts.png

Purchasing Concessions

Some tournaments have items available for purchase in advance, such as parking permits. If available, these will be listed on the "Concessions" tab:

user enter concessions.png

For each concession, enter the quantity needed and press Save Order.

Editing Your Entry

If you need to make changes to an existing entry, you can access it again from your main account Dashboard, under "Existing Tournament Registrations:"
