Combination System
Competition Admins and Managers have the possibility to create and manage competitions organized as Parent and Child competitions (competition elements). This is often used when the competition needs to be organized in phases (groups, playoffs, etc.) and when the data settings of the parent competition need to be transferred/ copied to its competition elements (Child competitions).
Parent competitions are used as the superordinate competition to which other competition elements/ child competitions are added.
