Create tournament schedule
- Click on the following link to start creating the football tournament: Create tournament
- Choose 'Quick' or 'Advanced' at the top. Quick takes you to a finished schedule with just a few details, Advanced shows every setting. You can switch at any time without losing your entries.
- Choose which kind of competition you are planning: a tournament with a group and a knockout phase, a pure knockout tournament, a pure group stage, a Funiño or a League over several matchdays.
- Set how many teams take part — and, for tournaments with groups, how many groups.
- For tournaments with a knockout phase you decide from which round the final phase starts.
- If needed, tick 'Match for place 3' or 'Match for place 5'.
- In the detailed setup you additionally choose whether every group plays a first and a second leg and in which order the groups play their matches.
Example: if you choose 'Round of 16', the final phase starts there. The quarterfinals, semifinals and final follow.

- In the detailed setup you can insert placeholders with 'Dummy Teams' and change the names later.

Set rules

- Under 'Rules & Notes', you can write a text that will appear on the match schedule.
