---

• Started tournaments

---

• Created tournaments

• If you choose new tournaments then you'll have another option of adding a tournament as an event.

• If you choose to add an event to your calendar, it will look like:

Installation

• You will need python 3

• Run pip install -r requirements.txt

• Now you need access to google api. For that follow the steps:

  1. Visit Google's Python Quickstart page and follow the steps.
  2. You can skip Step 2 i.e Install the Google Client Library because you already installed requirements
  3. On Step 3 i.e Set up the sample you'll have to make a small change in example. Change SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly' to SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
  4. In step 3 we are requesting reading and writing credential for ourself instead of getting just read-only credentials.
  5. After completing all the steps you'll have a credentials.json file

  Note

  If credentials.json file is not present in the current working directory then check for .credentials folder in your home directory

  By now you should have a client_secret.json and a credentials.json file. If you have them then you are good to go.
