How to join events, host tournaments, and get the most out of SGL.

• Creating an event: Set up a tournament, league or ladder step by step, from the basics to the format.
• Choosing a format: Brackets, Swiss, leagues, groups, pods and ladders, and how to chain them together.
• Running your event: Open registration, seed players, start the event, and handle results and disputes.
• Entry fees and refunds: Charging entry, refund policies and processing fees.
• Qualifier events: Feed the top finishers of several events into a main event.
• Event schedule, printing and exports: A day-by-day schedule linked to your rounds, printed pairings and result slips, and spreadsheet exports.
• Awards and hobby judging: Champion, best overall, best painted, best in faction, sportsmanship votes and more, worked out for you and announced after the event.
• Factions, lists, questions and approvals: Ask players for a faction and army or deck list, add registration questions, answer approval requests, and share key dates and documents.
• Judges, penalties and check-in: Add judges and staff, use the round clock, answer judge calls, give penalties, and check players in by QR code or kiosk.
• Team events: rosters and fees: Roster sizes, charging per team or per player, payment deadlines and what happens to unpaid players.
• Your own branding (white label): Your colours, logo, favicon and own domain on your organization page, your events, the widget, the TV display and emails.
• Selling entries in your Shopify store: Use the SGL app for Shopify to sell entries through your own checkout: setup, team entries, refunds and prizes.
• Joining and playing in events: Find events, register, check in and report your results.
• Entering through a game store: Your SGL ID, and buying an event entry in an organizer’s online store.
• Your profile and privacy: What others can see, social links, email notifications and your data.
• Languages: Use SGL in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil) or Japanese.
