Field Explanations

• id (required) - A unique identifier per player. This can be any alphanumeric combination.
• events - A comma- or newline-separated list of event IDs.
• An event ID is the unique id of an event in your tournament or league, ex. under-2000.
• memberId - (only applicable if your tournament has specified a membership system)
• If the player has a member ID within the tournament system (USATT ID in a USATT-system tournament, for example) this should just be their member ID (ex. 218348).
• If you fill out the memberId and this membership exists within Stadium’s database, you can leave the other fields blank and Stadium will automatically fetch them for you.
• If the player has NO member ID, leave this blank.
• lastName - The player’s last name.
• firstName - The player’s first name.
• birthDate - The player’s date of birth, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.
• gender - M for male, F for female, or leave empty.

• address - The player’s home street address.
• city - The player’s home city.
• state - The player’s home state.
