To set up Events for a new season can be thought of in a few parts:

1. setup that is specific to Events
2. setup typical done in other parts of DMS such as the Resource Area
3. setup that Events inherits or relies on from other systems

Events specific setup for the new season is typically done in the fall.  

1. create a new Global Finals event

• in Events go to Events=>misc actions and click on Add Event
• the prior step makes some guesses at the initial setting for Global Finals.  
• the steps below will let you refine these guesses

2. initialize various parts of Events -- details of doing this are described elsewhere

• score sheets
• officials registration
• team registration
• schedule

Events relies on setup elsewhere to function properly

• the challenges need to be defined for the year (see the Resource Area: Adminstration=>initialize year)
• roles such as ADs, RDs need to be defined for the new year (see the Resource Area: Adminstration=>initialize year)
• any new affiliates need to be defined in in the table di_affiliate
• regions need to be defined (see the Resource Area: Adminstration=>initialize year)
