Player/Team Self-Registration

New in Score7: participants can self-register on a public Register page for your tournament. You control approval, capacity, and timing.

How it works (quick overview)

1. Enable registrations in the Admin → Registrations panel.
2. Configure deadline, capacity, approval mode (Auto or Manual), and (optionally) an entry fee.

   At this stage, payments are offline only. You record payment status in the admin.

3. A public Register tab appears on the tournament. Participants submit Name and Email.
4. They receive a minimal confirmation email with:
   • a “View/Manage Registration” link (magic link),
   • a short access code (backup sign-in).
5. Participants can edit their own details or cancel using that link/code.
6. You can approve/reject, mark payment status, and bulk update from the admin table.
7. When ready, Complete registrations to generate fixtures. (After completion, participants can no longer edit.)

Statuses & capacity

• OPEN — accepting new entries (until deadline or capacity is reached).
• SUSPENDED — temporarily paused; no new entries while you review.
• CANCELLED — registration phase closed without generating fixtures.
• COMPLETED — finalized; fixtures generated; participants can’t edit.

Capacity is enforced against Approved entries. You can still manually approve over capacity if you intend to expand later.

What participants see

• A Register page with a button to enter Name and Email.
• After registering, an email with a manage link and access code.
• A “Manage registration” box on the same page to open their entry via:
  • magic link (?token=...) or
  • Email + Access code (6–8 characters).
• The list of approved registrations is visible publicly on the Register page.

We do not send status change emails to avoid inbox noise. Participants should check their status from the Manage link.

Payments (current version)

• Payments are not collected online yet.
• Mark payment status in the admin (Not required / Unpaid / Pending / Paid / Refunded / Failed).
• If you Cancel registrations for the tournament, handle refunds/communication yourself.

Privacy & responsibility

• You collect participant email to operate registrations.
• Be fair and responsive; include your contact details on the tournament Overview page so participants can reach you.

Troubleshooting

• Didn’t get the email? Use Resend confirmation email on the Register page.
• Lost the magic link? Use Email + Access code to recover.
• Organizer testing? You can add entries manually from the admin and optionally send the confirmation email.
