Public guide

Find public events, understand eligibility and registration, and enter tournaments that allow guest registration.

Before pressing Register, check these details on the event page:

Input	What to enter	What it changes
Registration opens / cutoff	The date and time shown for that event.	Registration is accepted only inside the displayed window. A waitlist may be available if the organizer enabled it.
Gender/category	The event may limit entrants to a gender, or a tournament may offer one or more of the gender categories to participate: Mixed, Men’s, or Women’s.	Your profile gender is checked against gender-specific categories.
Cost	If event participation is paid, the cost per person will be shown on the event page.	Paid registration remains pending until payment is confirmed; waitlisted registrations are not charged until they are confirmed and moved off the waitlist.

Open Events and select the event to see its complete description and registration controls.
Sign in and complete the registration action while registration is open. Regular social event registrations require an approved account; some tournament pages allow public guest registration when the organizer enabled it.
After registering, check the page for Registered, Waitlisted, payment status, and any partner or team details.
Use the event page’s withdrawal action before its cutoff. If you registered a tournament as a team, the confirmation explains that both partners will be withdrawn together.

Some tournaments may allow registration without the member account.

Input	What to enter	What it changes
Category	Choose one of the enabled tournament categories.	A category may have its own capacity. Your gender and your partner’s gender are checked against it.
Registration type	If the organizer enabled both modes, choose to register individually or as a doubles pair.	Individual entries can be paired by the organizer. Pair registration automatically registers the partner and reserves your double team.
Your name and email	Required for a guest without an account.	They identify your provisional entry and let you receive event/payment correspondence.
Phone, skill, and gender	Phone, skill rating, and gender are optional for guest entries.	The skill rating appears with tournament participant/pair details when those details are displayed. Gender affects gender-specific and mixed-pair eligibility.
Partner	Choose a registered member or enter a new partner’s name and email; phone, skill, and gender are optional fields where shown.	The partner must satisfy the same category rules. With both genders known, Mixed doubles requires one male and one female.

Choose the event category and registration mode first. If you are signing in as an approved member, use the member search to select a partner; a guest enters the partner’s contact details.
Review names, email, partner, category, and the price before submitting. For a paid guest registration the app creates a provisional entry, then asks you to complete Stripe Checkout.
Finish checkout and wait for the return page to verify payment. The entry is not treated as paid merely because you reached Stripe or returned to the site.
