# Publish tournament or league

## Change the closing date for registrations in their league or tournament.

The closing date determines when players can no longer register through **Online Entry**. Organizers may need to extend or shorten this deadline after publishing the event.

#### **Steps**

### Change the final entry date

1. Open the **Internet** menu.
2. Select **Publish**.
3. In the publish window, open the **Online Entry** tab.
4. Locate the **Final entry date** field.
5. Change the date to the desired closing date.
6. Save the changes.
7. Publish the tournament or league again to apply the update online.

The new closing date will now be active.
