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

Organization Setup

Creating an Organization

From your dashboard, click Create Organization and fill in:

  • Name and slug (your URL: tabletopleague.com/o/your-slug)
  • Description — what your org is about
  • Logo and banner — brand your competition pages

Organization Roles

| Role | What they can do | |------|-----------------| | Owner | Full control — settings, members, competitions, billing | | Admin | Same as owner (create competitions, manage members, API keys, streaming) | | Staff | Manage matches, assign streams, moderate competitions |

Assign roles in Organization Settings > Members.

Organization Settings

Your org settings at /o/your-slug/settings/ include:

  • General — name, description, slug, avatar, banner
  • Members — invite users, assign roles, remove members
  • Streaming — connect Twitch/YouTube channels, manage approved community casters
  • API Keys — generate keys for Discord bot and external integrations
  • Support — file and track support tickets

Competition Types

Tabletop League supports several competition types:

| Type | Best for | |------|----------| | Tournament | One-off events with brackets and rounds | | League | Ongoing seasonal play with regular matches | | Ladder | Continuous ranked play with tiers and challenges | | Open | Freeform — participants create their own matches |

Each type can use one or more stages with different formats. For example, a tournament might have a Swiss group stage followed by a single-elimination playoff.
