Create and manage events: tournaments, matches, meetings and classes

Quick answer
In Badgie everything that happens at the club is created in Calendar → Create event with a five-step wizard: Essentials, Schedule, Participants, Settings and Review. The type (Class, Match, Tournament, Masterclass, Trial, Meeting, Transfer or Other) identifies it on the calendar. A tournament such as the Autumn Trophy is a one-off event: Does not repeat, with its students called up and, if you like, visible to the whole school.

Where to find it
- Dashboard → Calendar → Create event (the yellow button in the calendar toolbar).
- The New class or event quick action on the dashboard home.
- Calendar → Settings → Event series → New class, for repeating classes.
- Academy → Championships, to manage championships with their seasons and badges.
Step by step: create a tournament or one-off event
- Essentials: type the Title (for example, "Autumn Trophy"), choose the Type and add the Description, Course, Location and Teachers. The + button next to each field creates a new course, location or teacher without leaving.
- Schedule: under Repetition choose Does not repeat, then set the date and start and end times.
- Participants: Add student or By Smart Tag to call up a group, Capacity if seats are limited, and the Badge collections that can be awarded at the event.
- Settings: Private (only the students added) or Public (visible to the whole school), the enrolment mode, Request attendance confirmation, Send reminder and, under Billing, the linked payment plans (or Create plan).
- Review: go over each block, go back with Edit if needed and click Create.
During and after the event
Open the event in the Calendar to manage it: Teachers and Students to adjust who is going, Take attendance and Behaviour on the day, Send badges to the students who earned them and Manage notices to see the notifications.
- The pencil edits the event (in a series, Edit only this session or Edit the class (all sessions)).
- The three dots cancel it (kept as not held, with a reason, and restorable) or delete it (removed with its attendance, without notice and with no undo). Details are in the guide "Recurring events and exceptions".
What the family or player sees
A student who is called up sees the event in the app calendar with its date, time, location and description. If the event is public and open for enrolment, other students can sign up from the app. If you turned on confirmation or a reminder, the notice arrives by App, Email or WhatsApp.
By sport
- Swimming: trophies and time trials as Tournament events; championships over several meets are followed in Academy → Championships.
- Football: the Match type asks for the Match type and the Opponent for academy teams.
- Trips and travel: the Transfer type adds the Pick-up point.
- Recruitment: the Trial type is for new students' trial classes; Masterclass is for special sessions with guests.
