Tournaments are created from your organization's profile. This guide creates a Swiss-format Catan tournament from start to finish; the other formats are set up the same way, with the options that appear when you choose them.
Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
Manage an organization on Meeplay. If you don't have one yet, follow the "How to create your organization" guide first.
Your organization needs tournaments enabled. If tapping "Create Tournament" shows the plans screen instead of the form, they are not enabled yet.
In each screenshot, what you need to tap is outlined in yellow and pointed out with an arrow.
