Importing your tournament rooms lets you control the rooms created.  You can:


  • choose the room names you want (Create Starter Rooms names the rooms for you)
  • chose the levels you want in each Team Challenge room
  • chose the challenges and levels you want in each Instant Challenge room


The alternative, Create Starter Rooms, uses some heuristics to create the rooms that you can then edit.  If you know the rooms you want, Import Rooms is likely quicker.  Export Starter Rooms is a 3rd choice.  This we create a .CSV file described below with the choices Create Starter Rooms would make.  If you are wish to use Import Rooms, you might use Export Starter Rooms to produce a .CSV with the correct columns.


The columns in the .CSV file are:

  • room name
  • kind: TC or IC
  • challenge letter
    • use A, B, C, D, E, RS, or PO to designate the team challenge of a tc room
      • A=tech B=sci C=art D = impr E=eng PO=serv RS=early
    • use IC as the challenge in an ic room
  • challenge levels: the encoding is a bit cryptic - lets look at some examples
    • example: EL:A;ML:A,SL:A  - says 3 levels of chal A (EL ML SL)
    • example: SL:A:B:C:D:E:PO - says SL for A B C D E PO
    • example: EL:C;ML:A:B - says EL for C and ML for A B
    • example: RS:RS - says RS for RS
    • in general you have a set of levels separated by ; with a list of challenges separated by :
