Open registration for a tournament

• Competitors register themselves on your event page, one division at a time. They do not need an account.
• AVP.Live collects their details and signed waiver, charges the entry fee through Stripe and keeps your list.
• It does not build brackets, set the order of matches or score them. Run that part in your own tools.
• It does not check a competitor's age or weight against the division they pick. Check that yourself on your list.

1. On your dashboard, press “Edit” beside your event.
2. Find the “Registration” box and press “+ Add division”.
3. Name the division, for example the age group, rule set and weight class. Enter the entry fee, or zero for a free division. Add a cap or a short note if you want them, then press “Add division”.
4. Repeat for each division.
5. Paste your own wording into the “Waiver” box and press “Save waiver”. Leave it empty and competitors see a general waiver provided by AVP.Live.
6. Press “Open registration”. Registration starts closed.

Registration stays open until you press “Close registration” or your event ends. If you open it with no divisions, the box warns you, because competitors have nothing to sign up for. Your divisions show on your event page as soon as you add them, whether or not registration is open.

A free division is complete as soon as the competitor submits the form. For a paid division, the competitor is sent to Stripe to pay, and the entry fee goes into your own Stripe account. They pay exactly the fee you set, with nothing added on top. Paid divisions need your Stripe account to be connected and ready to take payments, and the form says so if it is not. Free divisions do not need Stripe.

• If AVP.Live collects your ticket money and pays you out later, paid divisions are not available yet and the form says so. Free divisions still work.
• To change a division, press “Edit” beside it, then “Save division”. A new fee affects new entries only. Entries already made keep the fee they paid.
• A division's cap is shown on your event page but is not enforced. Registration stays open after a division fills, so close registration yourself when you are full. That closes every division.
• A division that has any entry, even an unpaid one, cannot be removed. It has no “Remove” button.

Your event page has a “Divisions & competitors” section. Each division lists its fee, how many have registered and the name and gym of each competitor who has. While registration is open, the section is marked “Registration open” and each division has a “Register” button. After you close registration the section stays, without the button, so the list stays visible. Date of birth, weight and contact details go to you only.

The form asks for the division, full name, date of birth, weight, gym or team, email and phone. Gym and phone are optional. A competitor who is under 18 on the day of the event must be registered by a parent or guardian, who gives their name and consent and signs the waiver. Everyone ticks that they have read the waiver and types their full name to sign it. AVP.Live records the date, time and IP address of the signing.

A free division ends with “Complete registration”. A paid one ends with “Pay entry fee” and the amount, then Stripe's payment page. Registration is confirmed once payment completes: the competitor sees “You're registered”, gets a confirmation email and appears on your event page. Straight after paying, the page may say “Confirming your entry” for a few seconds first. Someone who starts paying but does not finish is not listed.
