# Running a test or practice event

Before your first Liveheats event, you might like to run a test to practice or demonstrate the platform. We'd be happy to help you set this up. Below sets out how to access a free test event and some pointers to running your testing.
## How to access a free trial event credit for a testing event:
You can request for a free test event to be added to your account, by filling [this form](https://forms.clickup.com/26411634/f/t60kj-3542/WJ38H09WOPVZM6LQQH).
We'll create the test event for you and notify you once ready (takes 1-2 business days). You can also [book in an onboarding call ](https://calendly.com/d/3pt-zcg-vp9/liveheats-onboarding-call)with our team if you'd like someone to walk you through the product.
## Some pointers for running a test or practice event on Liveheats:
* Open one of the video tutorials in the help centre that provides you with a step-by-step guide for running an event. [Click here](https://help.liveheats.com/en/category/quick-start-tutorial-videos-i0p8zm/) to open that part of the help centre.
* When creating your event, be sure to put the word "Test" in the event title, so that the event does not appear to spectators and fans on liveheats.com
* Follow the usual instructions in the **Help centre** to run live scoring in your test event, starting with [Setting up and logging into judges devices](https://help.liveheats.com/en/article/finding-judge-logins-and-setting-up-your-judges-devices-1i8x1yn/)
* When you have completed your event, you can delete it by going to the **Event settings** of your test event, scrolling to the bottom and clicking ***Delete event***, so it doesn't appear on your public Liveheats page.
