# Tournament settings

> Set your tournament's dates, categories, tables, and registration deadline from the Settings tab.

Every tournament has a Settings tab where you control the details that shape the rest of the event.

## Tournament dates and image

Set your **Start date** and **End date**, and optionally upload a **Tournament image** that shows up on the registration page and in the app.

## Categories

Add the categories players can register for, such as Men's Singles, Women's Singles, or Doubles. You can run several categories in the same tournament, each with its own draw.

## Tables

List out how many physical tables you'll have available on the day. This is what lets the schedule assign matches to specific tables.

## Registration deadline and form

Set a **Registration deadline** so the public registration page closes automatically once it passes. The **Registration form** controls which fields players are asked to fill in when they sign up.
