The tournament creation wizard is the entry point for every event you manage in ruTournament. Accessible from the main dashboard via “Crear nuevo torneo”, the wizard walks you through three sequential steps — basic information, category configuration, and competitor registration. When you press “Finalizar y Crear” at the end, the wizard assembles a completeDocumentation Index

TournamentLocal record (including CategoryLocal[] and CompetitorLocal[] arrays) and persists it to IndexedDB via a single db.tournaments.add(tournament) call. Because ruTournament is fully offline-first, no network connection is required at any point.
Basic Information
Fill in the foundational details for your tournament. The Tournament Name field is required — you cannot advance to step 2 until it contains at least one non-whitespace character. The remaining fields are optional but recommended.
The tournament’s status is automatically set to
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tournament Name | Text input | Required. Used as the page title throughout the app. |
| Location | Dropdown | 32 Mexican states (e.g. Tlaxcala, Tlax.) plus Otro for custom locations. |
| Description | Textarea | Free-form text for schedules, special rules, venue details, etc. |
activo (Active) on creation. You can change it later from the tournament dashboard’s Edit Mode — valid states are Próximamente (Upcoming), activo (Active), and Finalizado (Finalized).Categories & Events
Step 2 runs in two phases. Phase A lets you select which events are included; Phase B lets you configure each one in detail.Phase A — Event SelectionClick any of the 12 predefined WCA events to add it to the tournament. A second click removes it. Added events are highlighted; events are shown with their abbreviation and full name.
The tournament supports a maximum of 10 categories in total. Once that limit is reached, unselected events are disabled. To add a category that is not in the predefined list, type a name in the custom category input, choose WCA or Red Bull as the format, and click + Añadir.When you are satisfied with the selection, click “Configurar categorías” to enter Phase B.Phase B — Per-Category ConfigurationEach category is configured one at a time. Use “Siguiente” / “Anterior” to move between categories, and “Finalizar configuración” on the last one to proceed to step 3.For every category, configure:
| Event | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| 3x3 | 3×3 |
| 2x2 | 2×2 |
| 4x4 | 4×4 |
| 5x5 | 5×5 |
| 6x6 | 6×6 |
| 7x7 | 7×7 |
| 3x3 OH | OH |
| Clock | CLK |
| Megaminx | MGA |
| Pyraminx | PYR |
| Skewb | SKB |
| Square-1 | SQ1 |
- Schedule —
startTimeandendTime(HH:MM, 24-hour). These feed directly into the Schedule timeline editor. - Format — toggle between WCA and Red Bull.
- Number of rounds — click ”+ Añadir ronda” to add rounds; click × to remove one. At least one round is always required.
- Round format — AO5 (5 solves, drop best and worst) or AO3 (3 solves, mean of 3).
- Competitors to advance — for each non-final round, choose how many top competitors move forward: 0 (Ninguno), 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, or All. The last round is automatically marked as the Final.
- Bracket mode —
Aleatorio(random auto-assignment) orManual(organiser sets match-ups in the Results section). - Seeding round — toggle on to add a preliminary AO3 or AO5 round before the bracket. When enabled, select the seeding format (AO5 or AO3). Competitors with the best averages in the seeding round receive priority bracket seeding.
Categories are configured one at a time in Phase B. Use the “Siguiente” and “Anterior” navigation buttons to move between them. You can return to Phase A at any time with “Volver a lista” to add or remove events before finishing configuration.
Competitors
Register all competitors who will participate in the tournament. The competitor table starts with one empty row; click ”+ Agregar fila” to add more.Each row contains:
- Name field — enter the competitor’s full name.
- Category checkboxes — one checkbox per category selected in step 2. Check every event the competitor will participate in.
"Ya existe un competidor con ese nombre" appears and the row is flagged. All duplicates must be resolved before you can finalize.Empty rows (rows where the name field is blank) are silently ignored when the tournament is saved — they do not create competitor records.When the roster is complete, click “Finalizar y Crear” (the green button in the footer). The app performs a final duplicate scan across all non-empty rows. If any are found, an alert lists the conflicting names and creation is blocked until they are fixed.What happens on save
WhenhandleFinalize runs successfully, the wizard performs the following operations entirely in the browser:
- Generates a unique tournament ID using
Date.now().toString()(e.g."1751234567890"). - Builds
CategoryLocal[]— each category receives anidoftournamentId + index. WCA categories get aroundsarray derived from the Phase B configuration. Red Bull categories get a bracket round (and optionally a seeding round) plusbracketMode,hasSeeding, andseedingFormatfields. - Builds
CompetitorLocal[]— empty-name rows are filtered out. Each competitor receives anidoftournamentId + "c" + index. Thecategoriesarray stores the matchingCategoryLocalIDs (not names). - Calls
db.tournaments.add(tournament)— the completeTournamentLocalrecord is written to theRuTournamentDBIndexedDB database. - Navigates to
/dashboard/tournament/:idfor the newly created tournament.
The tournament can be edited after creation. From the tournament dashboard, activate Edit Mode (the blue “Editar” button in the top-right corner) to change the name, description, location, logo, date, or status. Category and competitor management each have their own dedicated pages accessible from the sidebar.
