Recommended Workflow

Follow these steps in order when running a Circuit season. Some steps (like configuring point rules) should happen before others (like opening registration) to avoid mid-season confusion.

1. 1

   Create the Circuit

   Set name, slug, game, public visibility, circuit window dates, and registration window dates.

2. 2

   Configure team and roster rules

   Set team size, max roster size, minimum retained members, and placement point rules before opening registration.

3. 3

   Open registration

   Set isPublic to true and open the registration window so captains can create Circuit Teams.

4. 4

   Create or link tournaments

   Create new tournaments or link existing ones to the Circuit.

5. 5

   Award points after each tournament

   After each tournament completes, review placements and award Circuit points from the admin dashboard.

6. 6

   Monitor standings and continuity

   Check standings and roster continuity throughout the season. Use the continuity override for legitimate roster changes.

7. 7

   Freeze rosters and seed finals

   Near the end of the season, freeze rosters and use standings-based seeding to seed the final tournament.
