 **Important**: the settings in this form cover all of the common set ups, but please check the numbers to make sure they make sense for your specific event. You can tweak the numbers in the round settings later if there is anything wrong.

+Once your rounds are set up, you'll see a table like the above. Not everything has been set, though, so you still need to go into each round and add some details. Clicking on the round name, or the notepad icon next to it, will open a form like the following:
+{{ :knockouts:edit-round.png?nolink |}}
+Here you can fill in the following details:
+**Play By Date** tells team captains when they need to arrange their matches by.
+**Boards** tells team captains how many boards are played in a match. It can also be used to determine whether a team member has played enough boards to be eligible for masterpoints.
+**Local MPs** etc. state how many of each colour of masterpoint are awarded for winning a match in this round. Please consult the [[http://www.ebu.co.uk/documents/laws-and-ethics/licensing/master-points-handbook-2015.pdf|Masterpoint Handbook]] for what the awards should be.
+**Seeds With Byes**, **Teams With Byes** and **Teams With Matches** determine how many seeded byes, random byes and teams with matches there are in this round. It's best not to mess with these numbers unless you're confident about what you're doing. If you need to change the knockout format because a team entered late, it's better to use the //Amend Rounds// form and do the entire event again.
+**Winners Advance To** and **Losers Advance To** give you manual control over how winners and losers from this round progress in the event. Again, it's better not to mess with this unless you have some unusual requirements.
