# Tournament Management

> Complete overview of tournament organization and management capabilities

## Overview

The Tournament Management App provides a comprehensive platform for organizing and managing soccer tournaments. The system handles all aspects of tournament operations, from team registration to match scheduling and score tracking.

<Note>
  All tournament management features require user authentication. Users must be logged in to create, edit, or delete tournament data.

## Core Entities

The tournament system is built around five main entities that work together to manage tournament operations:
