How to Create and Assign Stations
When creating a tournament that is large enough to need more stations
A station can be any location that a game or match will be taking place during an event or tournament. Stations can be anything; courts, rinks, diamonds, tables, consoles, PCs, chessboards, dart boards, corn hole boards, swim lanes, you name it. Challonge has convenient and easy-to-create stations and assigning matches to them is just as convenient and easy.
When in the tournament screen, click the Create new station button in the Stations tab.

From here, enter the station's location in the Name field.

You can also add a live stream link if individual stations have different streams running!
From here, there are two options: you can either manually assign matches to your stations or have Challonge do it for you!
To manually assign a station, click the radio button next to whichever match-up and then click the Assign Match button.

Or, you can have Challonge assign match-ups to different stations by enabling these toggle switches located beneath your stations:
