Here are some common reasons why users import player data into Stadium:

• They may be keeping track of player registration on another platform
• They may have partial data (ex. only first names and membership IDs) and would like to fill in additional details (ex. last names and ratings)
• They may want to sync with the latest player data (ex. ratings for a specific date, or current membership expiration dates)

To import players into your Tournament or League, go to the Players tab in the Admin view of the event. Click on the button that says “Import Player Data” and continue reading below for information specific to each import source.

Import from CSV

Importing from CSV allows you to upload your own custom CSV file.

<aside>

Requirements:

• File must be valid CSV format, ending in file extension .csv
• File must contain a header row, with column names
  • There must be a column for unique IDs
• Each row must have its own unique ID </aside>

Here’s an example of what that should look like:

id,firstName,lastName,rating
1,Timo,Boll,3000
2,Sae Hyuk,Joo,3000

You can view a full spreadsheet example here or read about all of the accepted values and formats below:

• M / F

The system will attempt to match 3-letter country codes or country names as necessary. Any other values will be removed. | | zip code | 10605 | Zip or postal code. Any format. | | email | [email protected] | Any format. | | phone | +1 888 8888 | Any format. | | events | u1900,u2400 | Comma-separated Stadium Event IDs to register the player under.

The Stadium Event ID is the unique ID for an event, or category, within your Tournament or League. You can find this in the related Edit Event Settings dialog. | | membershipIds | usatt|218348, stadium-tt|24, spindex|123 | Comma-separated Membership IDs to link to the player. Each membership ID should use the specific system ID, followed by a | character, then an alphanumeric member identifier.

See Special Membership System IDs for a full list of special prefixes that can be used in this field. |

The column names don’t need to match exactly. The system will try to automatically match them or you can re-assign them manually in the import editor after you click “Preview & Edit.”
