Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a team captain but I don't see the Tournaments link. Ask your admin to make sure your account has the team captain role assigned for this tournament.
Where do I see my match time? Open the tournament → Schedule tab. Your team's matches are listed there with date, time, and venue.
The bracket shows "TBD" — why? Teams haven't been confirmed or seeded yet. The bracket is filled in as teams are approved and the admin generates the draw.
Can I see the tournament without logging in? If the admin made the tournament public, yes. Ask your admin for the public link.
