Tournament URL (Slug)

ScoreBB lets you generate a clean URL like scorebb.com/tournament/stranglebowl-6. This is optional and can be reset at any time.

  1. Save the tournament with the name you want.
  2. In Details, find Tournament URL (preview).
  3. Click Generate URL.

Notes:

  • The preview updates as you change the name.
  • Use Remove link to clear the URL and generate a new one if needed.

Configuring Preferences

On the Preferences page, set up:

  • Point Scheme - Win/draw/loss points
  • Tiebreakers - How to rank equal scores
  • Bonus Rules - Additional points for achievements
  • Pairing Algorithm - Swiss (Dutch/Monrad) or Random

See Preferences for details.

Publishing Your Tournament

Tournaments start as drafts. When ready, use the status control in the Details page header:

  1. Check the current status badge (Published or Unpublished)
  2. Click Change (pencil)
  3. Confirm the publish/unpublish action

Once published, coaches can find and join your event.

Deleting a Tournament

The Delete Tournament button is in the Details page header. Once a tournament has started (rounds in progress), deletion is blocked to prevent accidental data loss.

Deleting a tournament is permanent and cannot be undone.
