Getting Started
What TurnuvaGo is, how to create a tournament and in what order to proceed.
- What is TurnuvaGo and what is it for?TurnuvaGo lets you run a tournament end to end: format, draw, fixtures, results, standings, discipline and a public tournament page.
- How do I create a tournament?Your account receives a non-expiring Free licence once you verify your email address. Use “New tournament” to choose your licence (from My Licences if you have more than one) and enter the tournament name; organiser, season and location are optional.
- In what order do I proceed after creating a tournament?The order is: Teams → Tournament Format → Draw → Fixtures → Matches. Each step consumes the output of the previous one, so steps cannot be skipped.
- Who can do what in a tournament?The organiser owns the tournament; a tournament officer is an appointed manager who runs the format, draw and fixtures. A team manager manages only their own team. A referee handles the matches they are assigned to. The public page is visible without an account.
- Why is an action locked, and can I change a wrong choice?An action locks the moment something else is built on top of its result. Most locks are reversible: remove what was built on top, then change the layer underneath.
- How do I share my tournament?Every tournament has a short code and a public address based on it. Share that address and teams and supporters can watch the fixtures and results without an account.
- How do I follow a tournament?Watching a public tournament needs no account. To get notifications you tap “Follow” with your account: the tournament is added to your “Following” list, draw and fixture notifications arrive, and you can turn on match result notifications if you wish.
- How do I add sponsors and banners?On the Sponsors screen you manage two separate areas: the Top Banner at the top of the visitor page and the Bottom Panel that opens from the bottom of the page. The sponsor record is shared; each area has its own images and settings. The top banner fills a fixed 1100:192 area without gaps. When you choose an image, the whole image is saved or you choose the framing yourself; to change a saved image, you choose the file again.
Questions about this topic
Who can make the draw?
The tournament manager. Team managers and referees cannot make, finalise or undo a draw. Separately, the draw rule you choose (seeded, pot) may depend on the tournament’s package — that is coverage, not permission.
