The Competition Builder is a powerful and flexible way to build your draws. You can find the Competition Builder on the side menu under "Competitions".
Once in the competition screen, you can search for existing competitions or add a new one.
Adding a Competition
To create a new competition, use the "Add Competition" button. You will need to have an intake created and preferably all the schools already registered.
After clicking "Add Competition", you will be prompted to enter various fields, most of which should be self-explanatory. Though there are two fields which may require further explanation:
Competition is available to the public to view?
Check this box if you're happy to have your competition publicly displayed on your organisations' Dash website.
Send automated play by date reminders?
Checking this box activates the play by date reminder functionality, which sends out automated emails to the relevant schools reminding them of the impending competition deadline.
You can view more information about other additional functionalities here.
After a competition has been created, you have the ability to edit it at anytime.
Editing a Competition
To edit your competition simply select the "Edit Competition" button in the top right of the builder. From here you have the ability to change the intake, competition title and add/edit notes, as well as the option to make the competition public, or send automated play by date reminders to the schools.
You can read more about public competitions and play by date reminders, here.
Once you are happy with your competition, simply click "Save". Now, it's time to start building rounds.
