How to Transfer Tournament Ownership

Transferring tournament ownership​

If you need to hand over a tournament to someone else — maybe a co-organizer is taking over, or you're passing a recurring league to a new admin — Score7 lets the current owner transfer full ownership to another user.

This is a Premium feature.

How to transfer ownership​

  1. Go to the Access section of your tournament (visible to the Owner and Admins)
  2. Click Transfer Ownership
  3. Enter the email address of the new owner
  4. Confirm the transfer

The target user must already have a Score7 account. If they don't, they'll need to create one first.

What happens after the transfer​

  • The new owner gets full control of the tournament — settings, participants, matches, results, access management, and the ability to transfer ownership again
  • The previous owner becomes an Editor on the tournament — they can still enter results and player stats, but can no longer manage settings, participants, or access
  • The tournament's active slot now counts against the new owner's plan, not the previous owner's

Important considerations​

  • Active tournament limits: If the tournament is active (had a result entered in the last 30 days), it will count toward the new owner's active tournament limit. Make sure the new owner's plan has room.
  • Premium features: If the tournament used Premium features, the new owner (or someone with access) needs a Premium subscription to continue editing those features. Without it, the tournament is viewable but locked from further Premium edits.
  • One-way action: There is no "undo" — the new owner would need to transfer it back manually.
  • Access list: The existing admin and editor list stays intact after the transfer. The new owner can manage this list going forward.
