Add a competition or convention

The event is on your schedule with its dates, ready for the schedule and the results whenever you have them.

Before you start

All you need is the dates. Most families start there and add the full schedule once the studio sends it.

On the Schedule tab, tap +, then Competition or convention.
Choose how much you know: Just the dates, Dates + some details or Full schedule. These steps follow Just the dates.
Search for the company that runs it, not the event's name (for example Showstopper or KAR), and tap it. Not in the list? Tap Enter details manually.
Tap your event under UPCOMING EVENTS, and its dates and venue are filled in for you. Not listed? Tap Skip — enter dates manually.
If Ovation asks Which is it?, choose Competition or Convention, then tap Continue →. You can only pick this once: a competition asks you for routines, a convention for classes.
Check the dates, and the name if you like; tap either one to change it. Then tap Save placeholder.
Ovation opens the event's page. When the running order arrives, tap Add the schedule on its Day tab.

Dates + some details adds the location and, for a competition, any routines you already know, with times left for later.
Full schedule imports the running order from a PDF, a photo or pasted text, or lets you type it in. An import counts as one of the free plan's two AI imports; adding just the dates does not.
A convention's schedule goes in one day at a time: the page for one day now, the next one after.
Event dates and venues are there to help you plan and may change. Always confirm with your studio or the company.
With reminders on, Ovation reminds you 3 days out, and the night before each day.

Can't find the company or the event? Use Enter details manually or Skip — enter dates manually and type it in.
Added the wrong one, or the dates changed? Go to Manage → Competitions to edit or remove it.
For anything else, go to Manage → Get help. A real person reads every message.
