Understand the VR SPORT Tournament Workflow

Learn how tournament discovery, team-slot confirmation, squads, fixtures, playing lineups, results and standings connect.

Who can use tournament Community features

  • Academies require the Premium plan to browse, create and manage Community tournaments.
  • Independent Coaches require Coach Pro.
  • Academy staff require Community & Events permission.
  • Players do not browse Community. They receive team invitations through My Matches.

The tournament journey

  1. The host creates the tournament and is automatically added as the first confirmed team.
  2. Other Academies or Coach Pro accounts show interest.
  3. The host and each interested party may chat and mutually confirm one tournament slot.
  4. The tournament closes automatically when the confirmed-team count reaches the Teams Allowed value.
  5. Each confirmed team creates its own tournament squad and invites Players.
  6. The host schedules fixtures between confirmed teams.
  7. Each team selects its own playing XI for each fixture.
  8. The host records fixture results and each team records its own Player statistics.
  9. Standings update from completed fixture results.

Important status behaviour

  • Open means the tournament can still receive applications.
  • Confirmed means all team slots are filled.
  • Completed means every non-cancelled fixture has a recorded result.
  • Removing a confirmed team can reopen the tournament and cancel scheduled fixtures involving that team.
  • Withdrawing the last completed fixture result can move a completed tournament back to Confirmed.
