Why Create Check-In Times for Divisons for your Main Court Tournaments?

Check-in times are a vital part of event planning. They help players know when to arrive, check in, and warm up before their scheduled games. By setting and sharing check-in times on Main Court, you can reduce confusion, stay ahead of player questions, and ensure your event runs smoothly.

Benefits of Setting Check-In Times

1. Clear Communication: Players know exactly when they need to be at the venue, minimizing last-minute inquiries and reducing stress for everyone involved.

2. Warm-Up Preparation: Allows players to have adequate time to warm up and mentally prepare for their matches.

3. Streamlined Event Management: Staggered check-in times for different divisions help manage crowds and prevent bottlenecks at the check-in table.

4. Punctuality: Ensures games begin on time, keeping the schedule on track and reducing delays throughout the day.

Example Check-In Schedule

Beginner Division: Check-in at 8:00 AM, games start at 8:30 AM.

Intermediate Division: Check-in at 10:00 AM, games start at 10:30 AM.

Advanced Division: Check-in at 1:00 PM, games start at 1:30 PM.

Pro Tips

Allow Extra Time: Plan for check-ins to start at least 30 minutes before the first game in each division to give players enough time to settle in.

Include Warm-Up Windows: Communicate warm-up times to players so they know how long they have before their matches begin.

Add check-in times for your divisions when creating them (it's right below the time the division will start).

By setting clear check-in times for each division on Main Court, you’ll provide players with a smoother experience and ensure your event stays on schedule. This simple step enhances both organization and player satisfaction.
