2.9 User generated tournaments

Set up

A user generated tournament allows the use of private tournaments. This means users can create their own tournament and select the participants themselves for the tournament in particular.

To set up a user generated tournament you have to set up a game mode for private use. Create a new game mode as you would create any other game mode. At the end of the set up, in the final menu, toggle on the 'Allow for private use functionality.

Now that you’ve set up the appropriate game mode. The users can create their own tournaments:
Via ‘Menubar’ → Tournaments → 'User tournaments' tab.

Click the ‘Create your own tournament’ button:

Name: Give the tournament a name. Start: Select the date and time at which you want the tournament to start.

The user that created the tournament will be the designated moderator of the tournament. When the set up is complete the following screen will appear:

Select moderators from invitees: You can designate new moderators from the list of invite players.
