When you reach the Event details stage you are able to make your event a public event by ticking the box shown in red below:

For public competition events you can also set some limits for the competition such as maximum participants and maximum groups. You are also able to add some notes on the competition which everyone can then view. Once you reach the maximum competitors no further players will be allowed to regsiter.

Finally you are able to add any intial competitors. The selection list will show yourself, your golf buddies and any society members if it is a society competition. Competitions can be edited and updated at any stage. If you create a public competition then any new entrants will automatically be added to the next available position in the order.
