### 🧾 How to Mass Import Players or Teams Using a Spreadsheet in Scoreholio

***

#### 📥 Step-by-Step: How to Import a Spreadsheet

1. **Go to Admin > Players/Teams Tab**\
   Open your tournament’s **Admin page** and click on the **Players/Teams** tab.
2. **Click "More Options" > "Import CSV"**\
   In the upper-right corner, click the green **More Options** button, then select **Import**.

   Choose the sample spreadsheet that fits your tournament type:
   * **Teams** (for Doubles, Quads, etc.)
   * **Players** (for Singles or Switcholio)

1. **Fill Out the Spreadsheet**

   ✅ **You may leave rows blank** under the headers if you’re not using all the fields.\
   ⚠️ **Do NOT change, rename, delete, or reorder the column headers** in the sample file — doing so will break the import!
2. **Save as a CSV**\
   When you’re done, save the file in `.CSV` (Comma Separated Values) format.
3. **Upload Your File**\
   Back in the Scoreholio import screen:
   * Click **Choose File**
   * Select your CSV file
   * Click **Import**
   * **Click Submit**

1. **IMPORTANT: DO NOT Edit the Upload Screen!**\
   After uploading, you'll see a preview screen showing your records.\
   🚫 **Do NOT make any changes to the data shown on this screen.**\
   ✅ Just click the **Import Records** button in the bottom-right, then click **Submit**. You’re done!

#### 💡 Pro Tips

* **Pool Play Assignments:**\
  If you're assigning teams to pools in the spreadsheet, use the **Pool** column.\
  **Pools are case-sensitive** — for example, “Pool A” is not the same as “pool a.”
* **Pre-Registration Support:**\
  You can import teams straight to pre-registration, allowing for check-in process at the tournament.

***

#### 🛠️ Troubleshooting

* Make sure your file is saved as a `.CSV`
* **Do not modify the column headers** in any way
* Double-check for typos or inconsistencies in Pool names (case sensitivity matters!)
* Leave unnecessary fields blank — no need to delete them
* Remove any accidental blank rows at the end of the sheet
