Open and close sign-ups

Let players create teams, set when sign-ups close, and set the most players a team can have.

Sign-ups decide whether players can create new teams. Open them on Settings at the start of each season, and close them once your teams have formed. The team size limit is on the same page.

Closing sign-ups doesn’t stop players joining an existing team with its invite code.

Before you start

• You need access to change tournament settings. See How access works.

Open sign-ups

1. Open Settings

   In the sidebar, select Season → Settings.

2. Turn on Allow sign-ups

   Under Registration, turn on Allow sign-ups.

3. Set a sign-up deadline (optional)

   Select Sign-up deadline, choose a date, set the Time, and select Done. Sign-ups close automatically at that time.

   The deadline is in your time zone, named under the field, and must be in the future. For no deadline, select Clear.

4. Set the team size limit

   Under Teams, enter the Team size limit, from 4 to 30.

5. Save

   Select Save changes. “Settings saved.” confirms it.

   Players can now create teams on the Player Hub, and the Dashboard’s Sign-ups count reads Open.

The team size limit isn’t part of your rules. If your rules state a team size, update them on Rules too.

Close sign-ups

• At the deadline. Sign-ups close automatically.
• By hand. On Settings, turn off Allow sign-ups and select Save changes.

Closing sign-ups greys out the Create tab on the players’ Registration page, and the Player Hub’s team card reads Join a Team instead of Join or Create a Team. Existing teams keep working: players can still join and leave them, and captains and staff can still remove players.

After the deadline passes, Allow sign-ups shows as off. To reopen sign-ups, turn it on and choose a new deadline, or select Clear. Without either, Save changes fails with “The sign-up deadline has passed. Choose a new one, or clear it, to allow sign-ups.”

Lowering the team size limit

Lowering the limit removes no one. A team over the new limit keeps its players but can’t take new ones until it’s under the limit. Joining a full team shows “This team is full.”

The Teams page and each roster show the limit, such as 3 / 12.
