Tournament Manager – FAQ

How tournaments connect your manager dashboard with the global PaddlePals tournaments section.

Where will players see my tournaments?

When you tick the option to make an event public, your tournament is listed in the global Tournaments section of the PaddlePals app. Any signed‑up player browsing that hub can see your tournament, open the details page and enter if they meet your criteria.

Can I keep some tournaments private to my own members?

Yes. You can choose whether each tournament is public (listed in the global hub) or private (only shared with your own members via direct links or member CRM messages).

Does the Tournament Manager handle payments as well?

Entry fees are tracked against your PaddlePals booking and revenue systems. Where you connect Stripe, you can collect and reconcile payments alongside your standard court bookings and member charges.

Is this included in every PaddlePals plan?

Tournament Manager is unlocked on Professional and Champion plans. You can start on Standard, then upgrade once you’re ready to run regular events and list them in the global Tournaments hub.
