1. Go to https://matcherino.com/create and sign in to the platform.

2. Select “Create Tournament” from the menu on the left or click “Create Tournament” in the middle of the screen

Teaching Point - You can give out links to an unpublished page to anyone you want, but the pages are not able to accept any form of cash donation, nor will they show up on platform discovery features.

4. Fill in the basic information fields of the ‘General’ admin section, including your event title, a header image (800x450) for your page. You will have space to include your event description and rules further down the page. Please note that the ‘Prize Pool’ label is the name of your prize pool (and most often can be left unchanged).

Please note:

1) Events cannot be named using vulgar language.

2) Partner platform display names should not contain vulgar language. If this is part of your personal brand, you must update your name on the platform to fit these guidelines. You can change your platform display name in your Profile -> Settings screen.

At the bottom of the page you have a space to post in stream links, as well as a way to link organizer social media accounts from your page.

It is recommended that all organizers on the platform include a non-expiring Discord link to their event server on a page so that platform support can route player questions directly to you.

5. If your tournament has more staff than just yourself, add the other admins from the ‘Staff’ tab. To start, click the Orange add button...

This will bring up a search field for you to pull up other Matcherino Accounts to make an event admin.

Teaching Point - The easiest way to search for users on the platform is by their userID number. This is the four to six digital string of numbers after their username in their profile, and the same string of numbers is in their profile URL. You can search for a userID directly by putting a # before the string of numbers.

6. You can set your Crowdfunding Goals in the “Crowdfunding Tab”, as well as hide any donations that users would like to keep anonymous (for things like base prize pool donations, privacy reasons, etc). You can also configure any Stretch Goals here.

7. Once your staff and general event information is filled out, click on the Actions tab in the admin panel. At this point you *can* publish your event to make your page public (but don’t worry, you can still edit everything about your page at this point).

You can also cancel your event from this tab, refund specific users donations, or reset a page entirely.

8. In order to apply for gem prizing you can navigate to the Partnership tab at the top oe thf page(https://matcherino.com/wizards/partnership) and you'll be able to enter the event ID number to apply for the prizing! Please do this at least 24 hours before the start of your event.

Problems?

If you encounter any problems while setting up an event page, don't hesitate to contact intercom support! Just click the intercom icon in the bottom corner to send them a message.
