Run a multi-tier competition

A multi-tier competition is a chain of events where winners move up — a classroom round feeding a school round, feeding a division, and so on up to provincial or national.

Feeder events

The smaller event is a feeder of the bigger one. A feeder has to be approved before its results count; some are approved automatically, others wait for the parent organizer to accept them.

Who advances

You set a qualification rule on the parent event:

• Top N per feeder — the best few from each feeding event.
• Total cap — a fixed number of spots overall.
• Hybrid — a mix of both.
• Open — anyone from a feeder may enter.
• Invitation only — the organizer picks.

Levels

Tiers follow real structures: class, school, division, region, province, country — plus authorities and community groups for programs that don't sit inside a school board.

Competitors carry their display name and number up the chain, so a family following along sees the same identity at every level.
