| Different Previous=
| Different Next=
....and here is how you use each one:
| FirstTournamentEver= Simply type "Yes" (or anything really) and the backwards pointing year will be
blanked. You should use this if this is the very first year in a string of tournaments.
| LastTournamentEver= Simply type "Yes" (or anything really) and the forwards pointing year will be
blanked. You should use this if this is the very last year in a string of tournaments.
| Different Previous= In this one, you must type in a different link to send the previous year to.
For instance, typing [[2004 SEC softball tournament|2004]] would point the preceding tournament
to the 2004 SEC Tournament. It is important that you use the year after a | sign so that only the year
shows up.
| Different Next=In this one, you must type in a different link to send the next year to. For instance,
typing [[2007 SEC softball tournament|2007]] would point the next tournament to the 2007 SEC
Tournament. It is important that you use the year after a | sign so that only the year shows up.
Here is an example of what would happen if you wanted to have this as the first ever tournament in a series. (I removed most of the other variables so it is easier to see):
.....as you can see, there is no previous link, but there is an after link. (to the next one)
Now, let's see what happens if I want to link to a different subsequent tournament (this time without turning off the previous one):
