Organizer Overview

Everything you need to run tournaments, leagues, and ladders on Tabletop League.

How It Works

Tabletop League is built around organizations. Your organization is the home base for all your competitions — it holds your team, your branding, your streaming channels, and your API integrations.

The typical flow:

  1. Create an Organization — your tournament org, club, or community
  2. Invite your team — add admins and staff to help run events
  3. Create a Competition — set up a tournament, league, ladder, or open play
  4. Configure stages — choose formats like Swiss, elimination, or round-robin
  5. Open registration — players sign up (with optional approval)
  6. Run the event — manage matches, track standings, broadcast streams
