# Running a single round format with multiple heats

Single round formats are becoming popular as a way to have athletes organised into heats, but competing against each other surfer in the round. This article explains how to configure this format.

# Setting up a single round format

1. Draw the heats for the division or whole event
2. Once drawn, go to the  **Round settings** for the first round, and set the  **Progression** to be "0 progress"
3. Click  **Redraw** to update the draw with these new settings. This should leave just one round in your draw
4. Then, go to the  **Division settings**, scroll down to  **Advanced**
5. In the field that reads  **Progression determined by athlete's place in,** set this to  **Round results**. This will create a leaderboard for the round that ranks all athletes from all heats. See [here](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/using-round-based-leaderboard-and-progression-1xxmcw7/) for more detail the round leaderboard.
6. Click  **Save** to update

*Things to note:*

* The round leaderboard can be viewed on the Head judge page during the round. See here for more information about the Round leaderboard
* In your next event, be sure to remove any of the above settings before drawing heats if you wish to run a normal heat bracket
