# Creating and managing a tournament

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating a tournament is divided into two steps: first, setting up the general settings, followed by configuring categories and courts for more advanced options.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to note that in the general settings, you will select categories, set the general entry fee, and define the total number of courts/stages. Afterward, you can customize the entry fee per category, change category names, and make other adjustments in the relevant sections.
