### [General](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-manager/creating-and-managing-a-tournament/general-settings/general.md)

In the General tab, you need to select the league (currently limited to one per tournament), categories (as many as you want), payment method, currency, general entry fee, and the number of courts or stages (depending on the league sport).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Dates & Location](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-manager/creating-and-managing-a-tournament/general-settings/dates-and-location.md)

In the Dates & Location tab, you need to specify the tournament's timezone, registration start date, tournament start and end dates, entry and withdrawal deadlines, select a venue/club (if applicable), and provide the club, country, and address. If a club is selected, the venue location details will be automatically populated in the corresponding fields.

### [Schedule](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-manager/creating-and-managing-a-tournament/general-settings/schedule.md)

In the Schedule tab, you can create a provisional schedule to help participants and fans plan in advance. This includes details such as the registration start time, which categories will be played on which days, approximate match times, and the time for the after-party.

### [Tournament registration](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-manager/creating-and-managing-a-tournament/general-settings/tournament-registration.md)

In the Tournament Registration tab, you can create a dynamic additional form (similar to a Google Form with payment integration), set terms & conditions, customize registration intro and success messages, and enable registration email notifications for players and organizers. You can also enable automatic entry confirmation and configure advanced fee rules, such as enabling the "pay for myself" option and covering fees.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Extras](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-manager/creating-and-managing-a-tournament/general-settings/extras.md)

In the Extras tab, you can enable the partner search feature and customize tournament features (if you have league manager rights).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

In the Management tab, you select the organizer (which is set to yourself by default and can only be adjusted if you have league manager rights), designate the main referee, and add as many additional referees as needed. In this section, you can also set the tournament status and optionally make it private (accessible only via an access code).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Fact sheet](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-dashboard/league-tour-management/fact-sheet.md)
