Here are the basic steps of creating a chess tournament

  1. Create an event
  2. Add tables. They are called fields in instantLIGA, but a field corresponds to a table in chess.
  3. Add tournaments (groups) as needed. In a school event a group or team could for example be grade based, age based, or ratings based.
