Participant tutorial
Player guide: register, prepare, compete, follow
The shortest safe path from a tournament link to a finished result.
Register with a contact you can verify
- 01
Open the official link
Use the organizer's Portal link or QR and confirm the tournament name and dates before entering personal information.
- 02
Choose the right events
Check age, rating, gender, partner, and schedule requirements before selecting events.
- 03
Verify your contact
Use the latest code sent to the offered phone or email channel. Optional SMS tournament updates are opt-in, not assumed.
- 04
Finish payment if redirected
When offered, complete the Stripe-hosted Checkout and wait for the paid registration confirmation.
- 05
Keep your player link
Save the returned player-page or confirmation link and report duplicates to the organizer instead of submitting again.
Prepare without relying on screenshots
- Re-open the live Portal page the evening before and again on arrival.
- Confirm the venue, time zone, event name, draw, and schedule.
- Arrive before the organizer's stated check-in deadline.
- Tell the desk immediately if you will be late or must withdraw.
- Ask about a discrepancy before your next round depends on it.
During and after your match
- Report to the assigned table only after the match is called.
- Confirm your opponent and event before play starts.
- Verify the result and game scores while everyone involved is still present.
- Use the organizer's dispute process rather than trying to repair progression through another match.
- Follow the Portal tournament page for subsequent schedule and draw updates.
