New to tournaments?

Open brackets are tournaments anyone can enter. Find one marked Sign up, register on the organizer page before registration closes, and pay any entry fee there.

Online events are played from home; the organizer page lists the platform, region and check-in time. In person events list a venue; bring your own controller for fighting games and Smash.

Check-in usually opens 30 to 60 minutes before the start. Players who miss check-in are often removed from the bracket.

Team events need a full roster registered under one team name, sometimes with a substitute.

Majors and other listed events come from Liquipedia; local and online open brackets come from start.gg. Dates show the event span; times are on each event page.

Know a tournament that is not listed?

Send it here with a link to the organizer’s event page, bracket or schedule. Weekly and monthly ones only need to go in once. If that page shows the name and the date (or the day of the week), it goes on this page right away. If not, we check it by hand within a week.

We keep what you send so we can check the event. Your email is never published.

Know when your team plays

Pick your teams and we send one short email a week ahead and the day before they play. At most one email a day, and you can pause or stop anytime.
