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

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