Event templates let you save event configurations for reuse. Create events from templates with a single click, or set up recurring schedules for automatic event creation. This is useful for events such as weekly play tournaments or Nexus Nights that occur on a regular basis with the same base settings.
An event template will preserve the game & format, event settings, tournament structure, and round settings from the source event.
Creating an Event Template
To create an Event Template on the 2.0 Dashboard:
Navigate to Events tab and open an event
Click the three dots on the right-hand side of the Event Details tab
Click on Save as Template
Enter the Template Name, Description, and the Event Name Pattern:
The Event Name Pattern will determine how the event name is formatted when new events are created from this template using the place placeholders {date}, {store},{format}, {day}.
For example, inputting {day} {store} {format} {date} would generate the name "Thursday Game Store Core Constructed January 1, 2025" for an event created on that date.
Creating an Event from an Event Template
To bring up an Event Template to create an event, navigate to the Events tab, then click on the Templates tab. Select the template under Template Name.
Once the template is open, click on Create Event:
This will bring up the Create Event from Template module. Fill out the event information and click on Create Event.
