Register from a public link

  1. 01

    Open the tournament registration link

    Registration links are designed for direct sharing and printed QR destinations.

  2. 02

    Enter your name and contact

    Phone is the default verified channel. Email is offered only when that tournament's backend configuration enables it.

  3. 03

    Choose events

    Select from the currently offered events. If an event closes while the form is open, refresh and choose again.

  4. 04

    Enter the code

    Use the latest six-digit code. Resend is rate-limited and has a cooldown.

  5. 05

    Pay when offered

    The Portal hands payment to Stripe-hosted Checkout. The server—not the browser—determines the authoritative total.

  6. 06

    Keep the confirmation

    The free registration flow returns a player-page link; paid entry completion occurs after the payment webhook confirms it.

Know what Portal does not operate

Portal organization owners can manage members, channels, websites, payment proofs, analytics, and public tournament visibility. The tournament list itself tells organizers to create tournaments in iMatch Manager. Seeding, draw creation, table assignment, scoring, check-in, and lifecycle transitions belong in Manager, not Portal.

Follow a tournament without asking the control desk

  • Use Overview for dates, venue, status, and event context.
  • Use Draws to understand stage placement and progression when published.
  • Use Schedule for times and table assignments when published.
  • Open match details for participants and results when the data is available to your access tier.
  • Use notification preferences to control the channels and updates offered by your account.
