Our Core Principles
Run the Show (For Organizers)
Organizers can easily create tournaments across top game titles, set up single or double elimination brackets, and manage team and player entries from a centralized dashboard. With the ability to send invites, publish tournament-wide announcements, and push live updates, organizers stay in control at every stage. Real-time match tracking and score recording ensure accuracy, while full visibility over brackets, teams, and fixtures keeps everything running smoothly.
Lead the Squad (For Team Captains)
Team Captains can accept tournament invites, register players, and manage their rosters with ease. Match Chat allows direct communication with opponents, while a personalized dashboard provides clear access to match schedules, opponent details, and bracket positions. Captains can also revisit previous tournaments to review stats, performance, and progress over time.
Play the Game (For Players)
Players can join teams, follow upcoming matches, and track their rankings throughout the tournament. A built-in chat system lets them connect with teammates or engage with the broader tournament community. With real-time updates, leaderboard movement, and easy access to match stats and personal history, players stay informed and engaged from start to finish.
