Plan the format before event day

Use the worksheet to organize the event, then publish the rules players need before entries close: format, race length, seeding or byes, advancement, tie-breaks, and the no-show policy. Tell players where to find match and table assignments, and who records or corrects scores.

Estimate match volume before you promise a finish time. A match count does not account for race length, table availability, breaks, late starts, or disputes; use those details when you set the schedule.
