How to Import or Export Participants via CSV

Importing and Exporting Participants with CSV

Score7 supports CSV files for importing and exporting both participants and team/player rosters. This is especially helpful for recurring tournaments, larger events, or organizers who prefer working in spreadsheets before finalizing online.


What You Can Do with CSV

  • Bulk add or update participants (individual or teams)
  • Import rosters with players assigned to teams
  • Export participants for backup, reuse, or sharing
  • Speed up setup for school, club, or multi-division events

Exporting Participants to CSV

  1. Go to your tournament’s Participants or Teams section.
  2. Click the Export CSV button (typically at the top or bottom of the page).
  3. A .csv file will be downloaded with current participant or team/player data.

This file includes:

  • Participant or team names
  • Player lists (if teams are enabled)
  • Logos or avatar links (if applicable)

Importing Participants from CSV

  1. Go to the Participants or Teams page.
  2. Click Import CSV.
  3. Choose your file and follow the prompt to confirm import.
  4. Choose whether to:
    • Replace current participants
    • Add to the existing list

Make sure your CSV is formatted correctly. At minimum:

For individual participants:

Name Alice Bob Charlie

For teams with players:

Team Name,Player Name Red Rockets,Alice Red Rockets,Bob Blue Blasters,Charlie

Optional columns:

  • Logo/Image URLs for teams or players
  • Custom identifiers or grouping info (advanced use)

Best Practices

  • Always export first if you're unsure about formatting.
  • Make small test uploads if running a large event.
  • Logos must be hosted online; paste full image URLs in the appropriate column.
  • You can re-import CSVs from past tournaments to reuse participants or rosters.

Alternative: Import from Another Score7 Tournament

You can also import participants directly from one of your past tournaments:

  1. Click Import from Tournament
  2. Choose the source tournament
  3. Select whether to add or replace participants
  4. Logos will be copied too
