How do I set up a internal tournament?

I want to set up a tournament within a club. How do I do it. I went into the tournament setup and I think I understand how to challenge another club but I don't see how to create one internally. HELP!

If you mean for Daily Chess, you just create a tourney, make it invite only and only invite members from your club.

That is only for Club vs Club matches. If you want an internal club tourney, you need to create a regular Daily Tourney: Play > Tournaments > Create Daily Tournament

 

Use the Advanced Options and make it Invite only. There isn't another way to to intra-club tourneys as far as I'm aware.

The problem I've had with the intra-club tournaments is that they don't open for registration until 1 hour prior to the start time...no way to pick a date say a week from now and have the students/players pre-register to start.  Am I missing something?  Perhaps it has to be done as a tournament outside the club but by invite only and limit to your club/team?

Live tournaments don't have any pre-registration option, other than the hour leading up to the event start.

 

For Daily, you can do invite only events.

I have a chess team/club with a full roster at chess.com and I want to start a daily tournament next week for the  but when I set it up I’m told that registration is an hour before the start time…what am I doing wrong?

 

When I say Daily I mean Daily Chess not a tournament a day. Live tournaments don't have an option to register before one hour ahead of the scheduled event start.
