Can I Rename Tournament Stages?

No—Score7 does not currently support renaming the labels of tournament stages.

Stage names like “Group Stage”, “Knockout”, or “Double Elimination” are automatically assigned based on the format you selected when creating the tournament. These names are fixed and not editable through the interface.

Why Are Stage Names Fixed?

Score7 prioritizes:

Clarity for participants
Consistency across formats
Automation of transitions between stages

Allowing custom stage names could introduce confusion—especially when automating promotions or scheduling. Keeping stages consistent ensures features like:

Auto-advancement from group to knockout
Correct point calculations
Clear bracket structure

What You Can Customize Instead

While stage names are fixed, you can still customize:

Tournament title and description
Match rules (points, seeding, etc.)
Number of groups and participants promoted
Colors, logos, and URLs for your event

These adjustments provide branding flexibility without affecting the logic and clarity of the tournament structure.

Workarounds

If you need a stage to represent something unique (e.g., “Qualifier” or “Semi-Finals Pool”), you can:

Mention this in the Rules & Description field in the Overview page
Use visual branding and section descriptions to guide participants
