Remote Registration Systems

Organization Keys can configure CourtHive/TMX to retrieve players registered for tournaments from remote servers.

If an Organization Key has been entered, clicking on the Refresh Icon checks the remote server for newly registered players.

Context Clicking on the Refresh Icon replaces any existing list with an up-to-date list of registered players from the server.

Google Sheets

If a remote server has not been defined by an Organization Key then the players for a tournament may be synchronized with a Google Sheet. Click the Set Link icon to enter the website address (URL) of the sheet you wish to associate with a tournament.

Google Sheets for Tournament Registration may also be automatically generated by services such as JotForm.

Adding Players from Spreadsheet Files

When no remote registration system or google sheet has been defined, you can Load Players from the local filesystem.

Filtering Players

Subrankings

Player rankings can be modified either before or after players have been signed in.

Once players have been signed in, TMX checks to see whether there are players with equivalent rankings. If any players have equivalent rankings, an additional entry box appears next to those players’ rankings where a “subranking” may be entered to differentiate such players for seeding purposes.

Editing, Identifying and Deleting Players

Context Clicking on a player presents a number of options for modifying player data.

Edit Player

Editing player attributes changes only instances where the player appears in the Tournament Record.

The Local Database is not affected.

Identify Player

Sometimes an incorrect player (perhaps the wrong birth year) is added to a tournament. The Identify Player option enables all instances of a player within a tournament to be replaced with the correct player record.

Identify Player & Merge

Retains existing player attributes which are not replaced by the master record when a player is Identified.

Delete Player

Players who have not been approved for any tournament events may be deleted.
