Tournament credits
A credit opens a product's features for a single tournament, with no subscription.
What it is for
A club organises all year round; someone running a tournament once a quarter has no reason to subscribe. The credit answers that case: it applies to one tournament, at the moment it is validated.
When it is consumed
At the tournament's validation, and only then. You can therefore configure a tournament freely with paid options, change your mind, go back: nothing is taken until the tournament is validated.
What it leaves behind
A validated tournament keeps its product for good, even once finished. Its TV broadcast keeps answering, its documents remain generatable. What was promised is delivered, indefinitely — that is the counterpart of spending the credit.
