Registrations

A tournament can fill up in three ways, from the most closed to the most open.

Three scopes

Adding players yourself

The organiser adds players in a single block, one tab at a time: Group, Search, Named player and Import (importing a file requires Organisation). For a named player, a name is enough; “More details” opens the phone, level and gender. The list of registered players then shows, for each one, where they come from — organiser, group, online registration, named player — and where their registration stands; an online request is accepted or declined right on its line.

The preferred level

A tournament or a match can announce a preferred level. It shows on its page and its tile, and adding players points out who is above or below it. It informs; it never turns anyone away.

Approval and waiting list

Registrations can be accepted automatically or subject to approval. Beyond the headcount, a waiting list takes over and notifies the people who move up.

Why email and phone are required without an account

They are the only two ways to reach someone who has no account — and a waiting list must be able to notify. A registrant nobody can reach would be a promise we cannot keep.

The deadline

A tournament can set a registration deadline. Once it has passed, online registration closes; the organiser can still add a player by hand.

Cancelling a tournament

A cancelled tournament stays readable, marked as such, and the registrants who can be reached — through their account or the address left when registering — are notified. It can be restored as long as its date has not passed.

Opening is not starting

Opening registrations and validating the tournament are two separate gestures. You print your poster and gather players before freezing anything.

And for a match

A match fills up the same way: same registrations, same waiting list, same notifications. When a player drops out, the first one waiting takes their place; if nobody replaces them, the match goes back to “to be completed”. Its deadline, on the other hand, has a rule of its own, described in the Formats chapter.
