# Create a meet

> Set up a new gymnastics competition with name, dates, location, and contact info.

You've got a competition coming up and you need to get it into the system. This page walks you through creating a meet from scratch. It takes about 15 minutes, and you can always come back and change things later.

**Prerequisites:** You need a club with a Stripe Connected Account set up first. If you haven't done that yet, head to [Create a club](/club-management/create-a-club.md) and come back when you're ready.

**Coming from another system?** The new meet dialog also has three import options alongside the manual path:

* [**Import from MeetMaker**](/migration/import-from-meetmaker.md) if your event is on MeetMaker.
* [**Import from KSIS**](/migration/import-from-ksis.md) for KSIS entries files (`.csv` / `.xlsx`) or scoring backups (`.sql`).

If you want to handle everything manually, keep reading.

## Steps

When you create a meet, you'll work through a form with several sections. Here's what you'll fill in.

### Basic information

Start with the essentials:

* **Meet name** - Whatever you want to call the competition.
* **Date range** - Start and end dates.
* **Location** - Venue name, address, and country.
* **Sport type** - WAG, MAG, or both.
* **Description** - Any details you want participants and spectators to see.

### Contact information

You'll add contact details for up to three roles. Each one gets a name, email, and phone number:

* Organizer contact
* Meet Director contact
* Federation contact

### Branding and social

This is where you make the meet page look like yours:

* **Cover image** - A banner image for the meet page. 300x150px is the recommended size.
* **Club profile image** - Your club logo. 150x150px works best.
* **Social links** - YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, or your website.

### Documents

Need to share rules, info packets, or other files? Upload them here. Registrants will be able to download them from the meet page.

### Registration and pricing

Set the basics for how registration works:

* **Registration open/close** - Toggle registration on and set a deadline.
* **Global price** - A base registration price that applies across levels.
* **Gymnast levels** - You'll configure these in detail. See [Configure levels and categories](/meet-setup/configure-levels-and-categories.md).
* **Coach levels** - Same idea, for coaches. See [Configure coach levels](/meet-setup/configure-coach-levels.md).

### Advanced settings

These are optional, but they're here when you need them:

* **Global capacity** - A hard cap on the total number of gymnasts across all levels.
* **Currency and timezone** - Make sure these match your region.
* **Waitlist** - Turn this on if you want gymnasts to be able to join a waitlist when capacity fills up. You can set a waitlist capacity and fee.
* **Late fees** - If you want to allow late registration, set a deadline and fee amounts here.
* **Refund policy** - Turn on refund requests and set a refund deadline.

When everything looks right, click **Create**.
