This is where you set up the competitions that you want to run as a series or tour. Its a very simple screen where you can provide a name, venue and date/time for your tour event.
This effectively creates a competition which you can fully manage in the Competitions section, but also provides a button to jump you straight to manage the competition.
Entries
This screen allows you to enter people to the series. Adding an entry here will enter them to all current competitions in this series.
Awarding Points
Points are awarded at the completion of a competition. Just before you press the Complete Competition button, you should read and complete this form which will allow you to enter the points per round – which as it states, are not cumulative.
It is possible however to award points per round and points per win, if it is desired.
The Series Page
All of this drives a publicly facing page for your series you can share with the world, that provides information about all the competitions and a live rankings system updated after each competition is completed. It can be found in your Competition Series menu.
