Register for a Category

Entering a tournament takes less than two minutes. Here's exactly how it works.

1
Choose your categories

Open the tournament and scroll to Categories. Each category shows eligibility criteria (age, rating). Tap Register on all categories you wish to enter.

2
Pay the entry fee

Complete payment via the in-app gateway (UPI, card, or net banking). You'll receive an instant confirmation email and an in-app receipt.

3
Wait for approval

The organizer reviews applications. You'll receive a push notification once your entry is approved or, if categories are full, placed on a waitlist.

Register early — popular categories fill up fast!
To withdraw before the registration deadline, go to My Tournaments → Withdraw. Refund eligibility depends on the tournament's policy set by the owner.
Step 4

Once the organizer publishes the draw you'll get notified immediately. Here's how to read it.

1
Draw notification

You'll get a push notification saying "Draw for [Category] has been published." Tap it to jump straight to your bracket.

2
Read your bracket position

Your name is highlighted in the bracket. See who you play in the first round, your seeding, and the predicted path if you advance.

Step 6

Score Confirmation

After every match you'll be asked to confirm the result. This keeps scores accurate and accountable.

1
Receive confirmation request

Both players get a push notification once the helper submits the final score. Tap it to open the confirmation screen.

2
Review game scores

The confirmation screen shows the score for every game. Scroll through to make sure each game is correct before confirming.

3
Confirm or dispute

Tap Confirm Result if the scores are correct. If something is wrong, tap Dispute to flag it for the referee.

4
Auto-confirm timeout

If neither player responds within the tournament's dispute window (typically 15 minutes), the result is auto-confirmed and the match advances.

Always confirm promptly to keep the tournament moving.
Step 7

Dispute a Result

Believe the score was entered incorrectly? Here's how to raise and resolve a dispute quickly.

1
Tap "Dispute" on the confirmation screen

When you receive the score confirmation notification, tap Dispute instead of Confirm.

2
Select the incorrect game(s)

The dispute form shows all games. Tap the game(s) that are wrong and enter what you believe the correct score is.

3
Add a note (optional)

Write a brief explanation — e.g., "Game 3 score was 11–9 not 9–11." This helps the Chief Referee resolve it faster.

4
Wait for referee ruling

The Chief Referee is immediately notified. They'll review the match log and issue a corrected result or ask both players to reconfirm. You'll be notified of the outcome.

Disputes must be raised within the dispute window set by the tournament (usually 15–30 minutes after match end). After the window closes, results are final.

FAQ

Player FAQ

Quick answers to the most common player questions.

Can I enter multiple categories in the same tournament?

Yes. You can register for as many categories as the tournament allows, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for each. Each category has a separate registration and entry fee.

What happens if I miss my match call?

The organizer will call your match up to two more times. If you don't appear within the no-show window (defined by the tournament), you will be defaulted and your opponent advances. You'll receive a notification about the ruling.

How is my tournament rating calculated?

TT Stars uses an Elo-based rating system. Each win or loss adjusts your rating based on the expected outcome. Beating a higher-rated player earns more points; losing to a lower-rated player costs more points. The exact formula depends on the rating system configured by the tournament federation.

Can I view the draws before the tournament starts?

Draws are published by the organizer/chief referee at their discretion. You'll receive a push notification the moment the draw goes live. Before publication, the draw is only visible to tournament staff.

How do I get my certificate or medal record?

After the tournament closes, the owner may publish digital certificates. Go to My Tournaments → [Tournament] → Awards to download your certificate as a PDF.
