# Tournament Templates

Tournament Templates allow organizers to quickly create new tournaments based on a pre-set structure. Instead of setting up your tournament details from scratch every time, you can create a template from a tournament you've already set up—complete with settings like format, rounds, divisions, courts, and scoring rules.

Once a template is saved, you can easily select it when creating a new tournament, ensuring consistency and saving valuable time. Templates are perfect for organizers who run weekly events, leagues, or any tournaments with a repeating format.

**Key Benefits:**

* Speed up tournament creation
* Maintain consistency across events
* Customize templates for different types of tournaments
* Make adjustments after cloning if needed
