Run a tournament end to end

The overview reports the organizer totals for tournaments, registrations, and teams, with the managed events listed underneath so the busiest events are never more than one click away.

Managed tournaments is the working list. Each event shows its status chip and only the actions that are available at that stage, so an event that has already started does not offer to be re-scheduled.

Creation is progressive. The stage tabs move through basic information, format, rules, schedule, and publication, so a long form is never presented all at once and nothing is lost when you step back.

Capacity is restricted to the supported bracket sizes, and the scoring rules chosen here become the rules the results engine and the ladder both use.

Editing reopens the same stages for an existing event, with the current values already in place. Changes that would move a published schedule or rule set are recorded as audited actions rather than applied silently.

Registration review is the approval queue. Each entry arrives with its eligibility result, lineup snapshot, and payment state, and only an eligible entry can be approved.

Approving is capacity-safe and transactional. Rejecting or withdrawing an entry releases the slot it held.

Managed groups is where the grouped stage is built and published. Rounds and groups are shown as chips with their team slots underneath, so balance can be checked before anything goes live.

Groups are balanced, invited teams are accounted for, and the same round advances the same number of qualifiers from every group.

Qualification review repairs a grouped round whose source results changed after advancement. It shows a current preview of what would change and requires a written reason before anything is applied.

A repair keeps group identifiers, unchanged entries, slots, publication, and the schedule. Entries that are still valid are never replaced, and protected downstream play is left untouched.

Matches holds the schedule for every round. Scheduling can be generated automatically or set by hand, and each match carries its own room credentials and optional livestream link.

Credentials are released according to the configured opening rule, including the five-minute wait after the previous match completes where that rule applies.

The results engine is where match results are entered and finalised. Bulk entry covers a whole round at once, and an individual row can be corrected later with a required reason.

Final standings are published only once results are completed and approved, and a first-round bottom-four demotion is calculated from the finalised tie-break order.

Staff are assigned per tournament. A Tournament Director, Results Manager, Moderator, or Support member sees only the events and the actions their role allows, which keeps least privilege practical to apply.

Reserved slots hold capacity for invited or reserved teams before registration opens to everyone. An assigned slot occupies capacity; a pending application does not.

Global Toppers opportunities are announced by an administrator and accepted or declined by eligible organizers. Only the first valid acceptance assigns the event, so two organizers can never both be given it.

Team entry to a Global Toppers event is always free, and an allocated qualification rank is immutable even if the team later drops in the ladder.

The communication centre mirrors the player inbox for organizer activity: registration decisions, staff changes, qualification repairs, and payment outcomes all land in the same filtered list.

The Pages CMS lets an organizer publish informational pages for their own audience, with a page library holding everything already written and published.

The media library holds uploaded assets alongside the built-in platform artwork. An upload is validated by its actual bytes, size, and decoded dimensions before it is stored under a random name.
