Choosing your tournament structureOn Spicerack, tournaments consist of “Phases”, which each have sets of rounds. For a swiss + top 8, that would be two phases: a swiss phase and a top 8 phase. For a 2-day tournament with a cut to top 8, you might have 3 phases — one for each day, then the top 8.In the controls tab, the three-dot menu has some templates for common phases. You can always add more phases with the Add Phase button as needed.

Clicking the blue name will open up the options to make changes as well
Starting the event and managing decklistsIn the controls tab, you can start the event and separately close decklist submission. Starting the event will close registration. You need at least 1 phase to start an event.
If you closed decklist submission and want to re-open it, you can do so in the three dot menu in the controls tab
