- What are the event types?

- “Event” - is a universal category to which you can assign any organized event. BR> - “Match” - If the accreditation process concerns a sporting event, such as a two team game, it is advisable to use this type of event. Enter the name of the rival team, which in combination with the name assigned to your press office, will generate the name of the event on the list. Please make sure to properly assign the competition in which the match is taking place, as it will have an impact on assigning it to the temporary event.
- “Temporary event” - A temporary event is an option which allows you to create an accreditation process for many individual events-matches within a specified period of time. Thanks to this option, you can create a "temporary event" – e.g. a “Spring Round 2015".

If you assign a range of dates from 01.02.2015 to 30.06.2015 to it and select a competition such as the Ekstraklasa, Polish Cup or Champions League, then all “Matches” which you created assigning the Ekstraklasa, the Polish Cup or the Champions League will be assigned to it and which will take place in the period between 01.02.2015 and 30.06.2015.

As a result, the journalists from the list of your events will only be able to be accredited to those events for which they did not have their accreditations granted as part of the "Round Spring 2015".
