### Tournament Structure Setup

* **Choosing your tournament structure**

  On 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.

  </Frame>

### Starting the Event

* **Starting the event and managing decklists**

  In 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.
