Player check in and card grouping for multi-round dubs tournament

Hello all, I am having a 2 round doubles event in November and I am currently setting it up on UDisc. I plan on grouping cards by score/division for the second round. Will players have the option to re-check in and create a new card for round 2 OR should i create an entirely separate event for round 2?

I noticed in the admin page that round one has a “check-in” option, but round two says “start round” where check in is usually highlighted. I added a photo for reference. Thanks in advance. Birdies For Blaine | Fort Washington, Pennsylvania | UDisc Events

Hey @anthonybyrnes, great question! You don’t need to create a separate event for round 2 - the way you have this set up will work great for what you’re trying to do. Players are asked to check in for round 1 (based on your settings) to let you know they’re on site. Once they’ve played round 2, they’ll see the + Start round highlight 15 minutes before the set round start. They aren’t required to check in, as it’s assumed they’re already there.

If you have any other questions as you get things set up, please let me know!

Thank you for getting back to me. When players begin round 2, will they be able to create new cards since they may be playing with a different team (depending on scores/division)?

Yes! It looks like you have this event set up so that players and admin can create cards, which means when round 2 opens, players can tap + Start round, add their cardmates, and starting scoring.

If you want to group players and send out cards based on score/division, you can use the Cards tab to generate rules that would do this for you, then publish cards and send them to players so they’re ready on their device.
