Managing Events

This guide is for event directors, event managers, and organization admins.

You need to be an event manager, event director, or organization admin/owner to create and manage events.

Creating an event

1. From the Home screen, tap New Event (staff view required).
2. Fill in the event details:
   • Name — The event title (e.g., "Spring Open 2026")
   • Organization — Which org is hosting the event
   • Date — The primary event date
   • End date — Optional, for multi-day events
   • Location — Where the event is being held
   • Ball — The ball type being used (optional)
   • Type — Event or League
3. Tap Save to create the event. It will be created with Planned status.

Editing event details

From the event detail page, tap Edit (staff view) to update:

• Name, date, location, and ball
• Event type (event or league)
• Score entry settings (whether participants can submit their own scores)
• Event status (advance from Planned → In Progress → Complete)

Managing event status

Update the event status as it progresses:

Adding event managers

Event directors can delegate management responsibilities by adding event managers.

1. Open the event detail page.
2. Go to the Managers section (staff view).
3. Search for a user by name or email.
4. Select them and confirm — they'll immediately gain event management access.

To designate a manager as the Event Director, toggle the director flag on their manager record. There can only be one director at a time.

Removing managers

From the Managers section, tap the remove button next to a manager's name. This revokes their management access immediately but doesn't affect their participation in the event.

Next steps

Once your event is created:

• Add participants
• Create competitions
• Create a registration listing so participants can sign up at https://register.paddlesup.io/l/<org>/<event>
