Managing Event Staff

Add staff members, share staff portal links, send invites, and import staff from past events.

Event Staff lets you keep a roster of the umpires, scorekeepers, announcers, and other volunteers who help run your event, and gives each of them a personal portal to manage their own schedule.

Adding a Staff Member Manually

  1. 1

    Go to the Event Staff page

    For your event.

  2. 2

    Click "+ Add Staff"

  3. 3

    Enter their details

    First name, last name, and cell phone number (required), plus an optional email and notes.

  4. 4

    Click "Add Staff Member"

Sending Someone Their Staff Portal Link

Each staff member has their own portal where they set availability and view their assignments.

  1. 1

    Open the staff member's detail page

    Click their name, or Edit, from the roster.

  2. 2

    Click "Get Staff Link"

    It turns green and reads "Staff Link" once the account exists. The first time you generate a link, TourneySpace creates a portal account for that person automatically.

  3. 3

    Share the QR code or copied link

    Along with their PIN — a 4-digit PIN made from the last 4 digits of their phone number.

  4. 4

    They log in with their PIN

    By scanning the QR code or clicking the link, then entering their PIN to reach their schedule.

Sending an Invite Link So People Can Sign Themselves Up

Instead of adding staff one at a time, you can let people register themselves.

  1. 1

    Click "Invite Link"

    From the Event Staff page.

  2. 2

    Share the QR code or the copied link

    A public sign-up page — post it in a group chat, text it, or print the QR code.

  3. 3

    They sign themselves up

    Anyone who visits it enters their name and phone number, which creates their staff record and portal account automatically, and takes them straight to their own schedule page. If someone with that phone number already signed up, they're simply signed back in.

Importing Staff from a Previous Event

If you've run events before, you can reuse your staff list instead of retyping it.

  1. 1

    Click "Import Staff"

    From the Event Staff page.

  2. 2

    Choose one of your past events

    From the list.

  3. 3

    Click "Import" next to each staff member

    Their name, phone, email, and notes copy into the current event (duplicates by phone number are blocked automatically).
