Enabling Registration & Managed Events

Turn on TourneySpace Registration and unlock full event management.

Every event on TourneySpace starts as a free listing — a public page describing your tournament, with registration closed by default. It's a great way to get discovered at no cost.

When you're ready to accept team sign-ups directly through TourneySpace, you can turn on TourneySpace Registration. Flipping this on unlocks "Managed Event" tools: team registration and rosters, schedule building, sponsor listings, announcements, a Game Day view, event staff management, and the ability to add co-admins to your event.

Before you turn it on: TourneySpace doesn't process online payments for you. If you plan to charge a registration fee, decide how you'll collect it (check, Venmo, PayPal, etc.) and have those details ready — you'll enter them as instructions shown to registering teams.

Steps to Enable Registration

  1. 1

    Go to your event's Registration page

    Open the Registration section in your event management dashboard.

  2. 2

    Set the Registration Status

    Choose Open, Invite Only, Closed, or Special so visitors know where things stand.

  3. 3

    Toggle on TourneySpace Registration

    This switches your listing into a Managed Event and adds Teams, Schedule, Sponsors, Announcements, Game Day, Event Staff, and Event Admins to your event's admin menu.

  4. 4

    Fill in your Payment Details

    Add a short description of accepted payment methods — this is shown to teams as instructions during registration.

  5. 5

    Enter who checks should be made payable to

    Include a mailing address (address line, city, state, zip) if you plan to accept mailed payments.

  6. 6

    Save your registration settings

  7. 7

    Set fees and limits per division

    Visit the Divisions page to set a Division Fee and Max Teams for each division — these control what teams are charged and how many can register per division.

Prefer to keep using an outside registration system? Leave TourneySpace Registration off and add your external sign-up link in the Registration Link field instead — it displays to visitors whenever your Registration Status is set to Open.
