# Event settings

This page covers every tab under event settings: general details, location, contact, times and rings, classes, weigh-ins, and officials. Configure classes before you open registration, because boxers can only register into classes you have created.

## General

Set the event name and other basic details here. These appear on the event's public page.

## Location

[![Location settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-location.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-location.webp)

Optionally set a venue location. It appears on the event's home page and helps participants find the event.

## Contact

[![Contact settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-contact.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-contact.webp)

Optionally add contact information. It appears in the footer of the event page.

## Times and rings

[![Times settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-times.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-times.webp)

Create the timeslots for your event, then add rings to each timeslot. Each combination of timeslot and ring can hold matches in the schedule. The colored dot turns a ring on or off: an off (red) ring receives no matches, for example during a lunch break or an evening ceremony.

Tips:

- Add one timeslot per competition day **and session**. Two sessions on the same day means two timeslots with different start times.
- The event start and end dates must cover the days you add: you cannot add a session on a day outside the event dates. Fix the dates first if a day is missing.
- You can plan with a preliminary plan as soon as timeslots exist, before the draw.

## Info

[![Event info settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-info.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-info.webp)

Write the longer public event information shown on the event page, and upload a printable invitation PDF as a companion download.

## Classes

[![Classes settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-select-classes.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-select-classes.webp)

Create the event classes. Until you do, no boxers can register, and registration is limited to the classes you create here.

Good to know:

- Classes can be edited after creation: open the class and change it, and event groups migrate to the updated class. Classes with registered boxers may need boxers moved before certain changes.
- Don't select both your own federation's defaults and the BoxerBase defaults for the same event, or you will get double weight classes.
- Round durations set on the class apply to newly created matches in that class. Auto-created classes default to 3x3, so edit the class if the import created it with the wrong duration.
- You can save the classes you set up as defaults for your club or federation, so enabling them for future events is one switch.
- The boxer's registered weight controls which classes are offered when moving them; toggle **show all** to see lower weight classes.

[![Classes settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-classes-limit-delete.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-classes-limit-delete.webp)

After you create a class you can limit how many boxers may register in it, and delete classes you no longer need.

## Weigh-ins

[![Weigh-ins settings page](/assets/docs/event/settings-weighins.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-weighins.webp)

Create weigh-in sessions with a date and time each. After you add them, you can mark each boxer off from the weigh-in list. See [Weigh-in session types](/docs/event/participants#weigh-in-session-types) on the participants page for the difference between weigh-ins and check-ins.

## Officials

[![Invite officials page](/assets/docs/event/settings-invite-officials.webp)](/assets/docs/event/settings-invite-officials.webp)

Invite other users to help manage the event. Enter their email address and select a role. The invitee must already have a BoxerBase account with that email before they can accept.
