Plan your next event beyond FloArena

Where should families look for existing FloArena brackets?

FloSports’ current support describes a shared event-finding experience on FloWrestling. Start with the organizer’s original link or search the FloWrestling Schedule for the correct event and date. If the page has moved or results are missing, the organizer and the platform’s own support are the appropriate contacts. Creating a Smart Wrestler account cannot recover an archive held on another service.

What should a host check before moving a FloArena event?

Start with the next event you control, rather than promising to move an archive. Record its divisions, weight classes, registration deadline, entry fees and refund instructions. Keep the original result links available to coaches who need them. A link to an old FloArena bracket is not a Smart Wrestler import file, and creating a new event does not transfer registrations, payments or video rights.

1. Confirm with the association and organizer that you may choose the event platform.
2. Create a draft with the same published divisions and review the host’s registration and waiver requirements.
3. Rehearse check-in, a bracket and a scored bout in a test event before inviting families.
4. Publish one new registration link and tell clubs which event date it applies to. Keep old links labeled as archives.

What should you rehearse in a Smart Wrestler test event?

1. Review the draft event’s date, venue, divisions, weight groups and consent requirements.
2. Have a helper sign in on their own account and practice check-in and weigh-in.
3. Generate a test bracket, assign a mat and score a sample bout.
4. Open the public event from a second device to check how families find brackets and results.

A rehearsal checks the work your own staff must do. It is not a claim that old registrations, payment records or media are transferred automatically. Keep a single current registration link in invitations so families do not pay into the wrong event.

When should the host keep its existing platform?

Keep the required platform when an association, league or organizer has specified it. Also confirm broadcast and result-reporting arrangements before moving an event that depends on them. Smart Wrestler is a separate tournament platform, so the decision should be based on your event workflow and obligations, not an assumption that it connects to FloSports.

How do families follow the new event?

After the host publishes, share the specific tournament URL and label it with the event date. Public brackets and results live on that page. Parents and coaches who want personal mat-call alerts should review the plan for their workspace; a free public bracket is different from a paid personal alert.
