Events

An event is a tournament, league session, or competition day organized by an organization. Events are the primary container for everything that happens on the platform — participants, competitions, and results all live within an event.

Event types

Event lifecycle

Every event moves through a defined set of statuses:

Planned → In Progress → Complete
                     ↘ Cancelled

Staff can update the status from the event settings page.

Event details

Each event has:

• Name — The event title shown to all users
• Date — The primary event date (and optional end date for multi-day events)
• Location — Where it's being held
• Ball — The type of ball being used (optional)
• Score entry — Whether participants can enter their own scores

Participants

Participants are the players registered for an event. A participant record links a person to an event and tracks:

• Contact info (name, email, phone)
• Skill level
• Check-in status
• Whether their DUPR profile is linked
• Which competitions they're entered in

See Managing Participants for how to add and manage them.

Event staff

Every event has a designated Event Director — typically the person who created it — plus any number of Event Managers who help run operations.

Event managers can manage participants, competitions, and match scores. The director has full control including adding and removing managers.

See Managing Events for staff instructions.

Registration

Events that accept registrations have a public listing in the Register app. Each listing lives at:

https://register.paddlesup.io/l/<org-slug>/<event-slug>

Registrants sign up for one or more options (divisions or sessions) on the listing. Free options register in one click; paid options route through Stripe checkout against the org's connected account.

See Listings, Listing options, and Registrations for the full model, and Creating a listing for the staff workflow.
