Does Slams import automatically from Tournify?

No, there is no direct integration. You export your participants from Tournify to CSV or Excel and import them into Slams. If you get stuck, Coen helps you personally via a short demo or WhatsApp.

Which data does Slams take over?

Name, email address and starting rating per player. Slams dedupes on email and links existing Slams profiles, so players don't come in twice.

Can I also import my schedule or standings?

No. Slams does not carry over old schedules or standings; you generate a new schedule in Slams. You do import your participants via CSV.

Switching from Tournify or another tournament app? You don't need an automatic integration. Almost every app lets you export your participants as CSV or Excel, and you import that list into Slams. This article explains how to export and which columns Slams expects.

Step 1: export your participants

In your current app, find the export or download button on your participant, member or team list and choose CSV or Excel. Keeping it yourself in a spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets)? You already have your list; save it as a CSV file.

Step 2: get the columns right

Slams expects one of these layouts per player:

Four columns: first name, last name, email, starting rating.
Three columns: name, email, starting rating.

Only a name is required; email and rating may be empty. A starting rating should be between 1.0000 and 10.9999 (lower is better); leave it blank and Slams defaults to 8.999. Both a comma and a semicolon work as a separator, so a Dutch Excel export (semicolon) is fine.

Step 3: import into Slams

In your dashboard go to Players, open the add panel and pick the CSV import tab. Upload your file. Slams dedupes automatically on email address and links existing Slams profiles, so you don't get duplicate players. More detail is in importing participants via CSV.

What about your competitions and schedules?

Slams doesn't import old schedules or brackets, and it doesn't need to: you pick a format and Slams generates a fresh schedule in two minutes. That way you start straight away with what Slams does best (ladders, leagues, ratings) instead of carrying over an old setup. Considering the move? Read switch to Slams too.
