When a Tournament is Finished

When your tournament is over, MyCup marks it as finished. This keeps the final record intact while still letting you tidy things up and share the result. If you think your tournament was finished too early or want it reopened, just contact support.

What you can still do#

A finished tournament is not frozen solid. You can still:

• Edit results — fix a score, adjust a match event, set the final standings.
• Edit your website — change the theme, reorder blocks, update content, publish changes.
• View and share everything — the public site stays online as a permanent archive you can share any time.

What gets locked#

To protect the final record, the tournament's structure is locked. You can no longer change:

• The structure & rules (phases, groups, rounds, points).
• Divisions.
• Teams (adding or removing participants) and their rosters (adding or removing players & staff).
• Match line-ups (which teams play which match) and match (re)generation.

Locked areas stay visible with a Finished badge, and their buttons are disabled — nothing disappears, it's just read-only. (The Structure page, for example, shows a Structure locked notice.) Your Dashboard command centre switches to a Completed state with quick actions to view the public site, open Statistics, and start the next season.

Fixing a typo? Editing an existing team's name or a player's details still works — only adding or removing teams and players is locked. And results and the website are always editable.

Crown your champion#

MyCup does not guess the winner for you — champions are set by hand, so a custom bracket or a tie-break you settled off-app is always recorded correctly. On the Completed Dashboard you'll see a Crown the champion prompt with a Set winners button. It opens a short picker where you set the finishing places (champion, runner-up, and so on — one set per division if you run divisions), then publishes them to your tournament website's Winners / Summary page. Once set, the Dashboard shows the podium and a Edit & publish results button so you can adjust it any time.

Registration closes automatically#

Once a tournament is finished, public registration is turned off, so no new sign-ups arrive for an event that's already over.
