I am beginner in SQL, I have a simple MySQL database which contains two tables:

  1. Players (id, name)
  2. Tournaments (id, name, participants)

I want to save information about participants of every tournament. The first idea that I have is that participants should contain a large number of id fields from the players table but that doesn’t seem good.

How should I design this in the correct way?

    Make another table called Participants with two fields. Player_ID and Tournament_ID. This table can hold as many lines as it needs to to correlate who played when, and you can cross reference it as needed.
