Benefits of Becoming a Tournament Organizer













Last month, Community Gaming introduced passwordless login to our platform. Today, we’re improving our sign-up process with social sign-on! From here on out, Community Gaming accounts created with a connected Google or Discord account benefit from a seamless one-step sign-in process. Curious to learn more? Let’s dive in!

### What is Social Sign-On?

Social Sign-On, also known as Social Login, is a user authentication method that allows individuals to log into applications and websites using their existing social media accounts. Instead of managing multiple usernames and passwords for individual websites, you’ll only need one account to access an ecosystem of connected services.

Introducing social sign-on to Community Gaming means that anyone with a Google, Discord or Twitter account can access esports tournaments with the click of a button.

### How Do I Use Social Sign-On?

Taking advantage of social sign-on is quick and easy using the following steps:

1. Head to [our sign-up and login page](https://www.communitygaming.io/auth).
2. Look for the option to sign-up or login using your Google or Discord account and click on your social media account of choice!
3. Sign-in on the social media platform of your choice, if you are not already logged in on your device.
4. Read the terms and conditions of using social sign-on with Community Gaming. If you are comfortable granting access, click on the “authorize,” “continue,” or “allow access” button.

Congratulations! You now have a Community Gaming account linked to your social media account of choice.

### FAQ: Your Questions Answered

**Which social media platforms can I use for social sign-on?**

Community Gaming supports Social Sign-On with Google, Discord and Twitter accounts.

**Can I still create a traditional account on websites with social sign-on?**

Yes, you can still create a traditional account with an email of your choice using our [passwordless login system](https://communitygaming.io/blog/unlocking-simplicity-security-introducing-community-gamings-new-passwordless-login). Choose the login method that is most convenient for you!

**Is social sign-on compatible with mobile devices?**

Yes, social sign-on is compatible with various devices, including desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets. It may even be the easiest login method for mobile users thanks to the one-click login process.

**Can I still access my account from multiple devices?**

Yes, you can still access your account from multiple devices. Social sign-on is designed to provide a seamless login experience across various devices.

**Can social sign-on access my private information on social media?**

No, social sign-on only requests permission to access specific information required for login functionality. You’ll be presented with a permission module that outlines requested access when you create your account. All users have control over what information they share and can revoke these permissions at any time.

**I already have a Community Gaming account, can I connect an account to use social sign-on?**

No, existing accounts will not have access to social sign-on. However, if you would like to take advantage of social sign-on, we welcome you to create a new account using the social media platform of your choice!

**I created a Community Gaming account through social sign-on. Can I sign in to this Community Gaming account the same email address through the standard sign in system?**

No. If you created your account by using social sign-on options, you must always sign in through that social platform. 

**Can I link multiple social media accounts?**

We encourage you to link as many social media accounts as you wish! However, you will only be able to sign-in with the social media account you originally used to create your account.

**Social sign-on is taking longer than expected. Should I be concerned?**

Not at all! To give our users the possibility to sign up through a social platform provider, while at the same time giving them access to a blockchain wallet, Community Gaming platform is doing several things in background while you're signing up. Be patient - it'll pay off! 

If you have any additional questions or need further information about social sign-on, reach out to our support team on [Community Gaming](https://communitygaming.io) or join our [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/community-gaming) to get in touch with our staff! We’re here to help you transform and curate your online tournament experience.

Esports is an umbrella term covering video game tournaments across many titles and competitive formats. The industry is incredibly diverse with thousands of tournaments held each year including long-time fan favorites such as League of Legends, and newer titles such as the comic book-inspired trading card game, MARVEL SNAP.

In both familiar and fresh games, esports tournament organizers are experimenting with new tournament formats to keep their competitive environments as balanced and entertaining as possible. Finding the right tools to bring diverse and evolving tournament formats to life can be difficult, with many esports resources built for mainstream tournament formats. Innovative ideas are empowered by adaptive tools. That’s why Community Gaming builds Advanced Features for tournaments; to empower Tournament Organizers to carry out their vision.

### Guide to Advanced Features

### Check-in

Check-in requires all competitors to confirm they are present and ready to play in your tournament. With the click of a button, participants confirm their attendance directly on your tournament page. Using check-in on Community Gaming saves you the hassle of communicating with every individual player and team to confirm they’re ready to play in your tournament.

#### **How long is the check-in period?**

You have the ability to set your check-in period from 24 hours up to 10 minutes prior to your tournament start. Long check-in periods between 12 to 24 hours are great for competitors with busy schedules and tournament organizers who want to confirm someone’s intention to participate. Short check-in periods between 10 minutes to 2 hours ensures players are at their battle stations and ready to compete as soon as your bracket is live.

#### **Who needs to check-in?**

All participants registered, including waitlisted individuals, need to check-in. For team tournaments, one member may check-in on behalf of their team.

#### **What happens if a participant does not check-in?**

Competitors who fail to check-in will automatically be dropped from the tournament. If you have a waitlist, then competitors checked-in on the waitlist take the place of dropped competitors.

#### **Can I, as the tournament organizer, check-in for a participant?**

Yes, tournament organizers may check-in for participants.

### Invitational Slots

Toggling invitational slots allows you to reserve any number of spots for specific players. Use invitational slots to reserve space for your community VIPs or host a closed tournament.

Invitational slots are only available for solo tournaments, but we’re working on expanding the feature to team tournaments in the near future!

### Auto-Approved Match Reporting

Match scores can be approved without a Tournament Admin by turning on auto-approved match reporting. With auto-approval on, only one competitor has to report the match score and a tournament admin does not need to verify the score in order to move the bracket forward. Auto-approval is recommended for Tournament Organizers hosting large tournaments with few tournament admins.

#### **Is auto-approval instant?**

Auto-approval is instantaneous by default. You may set an auto-approval timer between 3 to 20 minutes after the score has been reported if you like to double-check match results or give competitors a short break after finishing their matches.

#### **What if a match score is reported incorrectly?**

Incorrect match scores can be corrected by yourself or a tournament admin with match reporting permissions.

### Registration Questions

Collect information from your players such as rank/skill level, Discord ID, social media handles, and more with customizable registration questions. Each question can be answered with one of three input types: text field, dropdown selection, and file upload. You may also mark questions as mandatory or optional, and make answers private to tournament admins or public to all competitors.

### Game Username

Collect in-game usernames with ease by requiring all participants to submit their in-game usernames during registration. Game usernames are available for all participants to reference and easily add their opponents.

### Match Ready-Up

Match ready-up requires players to ready-up on your tournament page within 10 minutes of the start of every round. Competitors who fail to ready-up for their next match forfeit the match, and their opponent is awarded the win. Match ready-up encourages player punctuality and reduces tournament delays that may be caused by player no-shows.

### 3rd Place Match

Add a 3rd place decider match to your single and double elimination tournaments to determine your top three participants.

### Tournament Hosting Tailored to Your Needs

You deserve the best tournament hosting experience possible. Our advanced features are designed for you to customize your tournament hosting experience, but how do you know which ones to choose?

No need to worry; we’ve put together a list of common values and suggested features to enable!

#### You want to save time managing a bracket

*Enable: Check-in and Auto-Approved Match Reporting*

Semi-automate your tournament on Community Gaming by enabling check-in and auto-approved match reporting.

By reducing the amount of time you have to spend on manual tasks, you have more opportunities to connect with your competitors, promote your event on social media, or take a lunch break without worrying about tournament delays.

#### You need detailed information from competitors

*Enable: Registration Questions and Request Game Username*

Collecting player information through multiple registration forms or direct messages is a thing of the past when you use Registration Questions and Request Game Username on Community Gaming.

Review your registered players, reference requested player information, communicate with participants, and manage tournament brackets all on your own tournament page.

#### You value punctuality

*Enable: Check-in and Match Ready-Up*

If no-shows and late players are the bane of your existence, enforce punctuality by using tournament check-in and match ready-up.

The combination of these two features encourages players to respect their fellow competitors’ time by coming to tournament day on time, prepared, and ready to play.

### Customize Your Experience

Now that you know all about advanced features, you can use any combination to create a personalized experience on Community Gaming!

Try out one or two advanced features during your next tournament and share your experience with our staff members and your fellow tournament organizers in our [Discord Server](http://discord.gg/community-gaming).

If you do not have access to the tournament creation dashboard already, submit a [Tournament Organizer application](https://bit.ly/CG-OrganizerApp), and a staff member will contact you in 3-5 business days.

### The Ecological Effects of the Gaming Industry & What Gamers Can Do to Help - **Earth Day, 2023**

That’s right gamers- it’s Earth Day! And you know what that means!

Sustainability posts?

Why, yes. Sustainability posts. But the harsh reality is, **it needs to be more than just that.**

When we were originally confronted with generating some ideas for an Earth Day post, we jumped at the chance. After all, saving the earth is arguably the right thing to do, is it not? Especially when the alternative is a certain “game over” for humanity. And so, the idea was floated to compile a list of tips that the everyday gamer could do to help curb the cons of the gaming industry’s carbon footprint.

Unfortunately, it may not be that simple.

The truth is, the options we have in regard to mitigating the ecological effects of gaming are far from perfect solutions. We could spend entire months accumulating research about the pros and cons of each of these suggestions, but alas, our marketing overlords here at CG only gave me a couple of days to write this article. Thankfully, we acknowledge sustainability is a rich subject that warrants discussion not just during Earth Day season, but year-round as well. While we want to deliver some digestible tips on how we can all collectively take responsibility for the impacts our choices as consumers have, this article barely scratches the surface of things to consider.

With this in mind, we are going to take today to dip our toes into the wild frontier of sustainability efforts in gaming, but our intent is to spend some time deep diving each of these suggestions in the coming months in more detail. As previously stated, these solutions are not flawless, and each comes with its own environmental implications. That being said, anything that can be potentially helpful in the long run is worth a shot, even if we are still working towards optimizing the steps involved.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

### **Gaming’s Sustainability Scene At A Glance**

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_ag_VS_88q_Gim_Lop_Vv_Sy_Cxxew_fa05a20716.png)Since its inception in the late 1970s, the gaming industry has flourished, generating an estimated $240 billion in revenue worldwide as of 2021 according to [**Statista**](https://www.statista.com/topics/868/video-games/#topicOverview). From neon-lit nights out at your local arcade to cozy days in bed on your favorite handheld, video games have truly revolutionized the ways in which we consume media. But with great growth comes great responsibility, and the gaming world’s continued demand for electronics has an enormous ecological impact. As the stress on our power grids and size of our landfills continue to grow in correlation with our consumption, the feeling that your favorite pastime is doing harm to the real world around you can easily sully what should have been a relaxing night at home immersing yourself in a digital one.

Fear not gamers, as all hope is not lost! Many industry giants have started to rally together to address these concerns head-on with eco-friendly initiatives. Pledges to achieve carbon neutrality made by [Microsoft](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/01/16/microsoft-will-be-carbon-negative-by-2030/) and [Sony](https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/News/Press/202205/22-022E/) have set the stage for accountability among other leading companies in the business. Here at Community Gaming, our leadership works closely with the Play2Learn foundation, [who have long since surpassed their original pledge goals for carbon offsetting in the blockchain space.](https://www.klimadao.finance/pledge/0xe95c8a2f02bc20195fe7be8522ed867c57b431cd) As we continue to work together to pave the path to progress, there is still plenty of work that needs to be done. Thankfully, there are some simple things that you can do to help. So for Earth Day 2023, the folks here at Community Gaming wanna lend a helping hand by giving some suggestions on how you can help minimize the environmental effects of gaming.

### **Tip #1: Power Down**

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_Ox_WL_Btjtff_4_S7_Btx_FR_Ww_03db7e3a9c.png)As the age of technology continues to advance, so does our energy consumption, and gaming’s direct contribution to that consumption is no secret. Despite the best efforts of console developers to make advances in the energy efficiency of their products, the industry’s stress on the power grid has only grown at an exponential rate over the years. A news article from 2022 published by conservation news media outlet [Mongabay](https://news.mongabay.com/) reported 34 terawatt-hours of usage annually from consoles in the US alone, citing several additional studies and publications on the subject.

While these are rough estimates, with tons of speculation surrounding the accuracy of modern-day field-metering methods, it is worth mentioning that the numbers reported don’t even account for gaming’s additional contributions outside of consoles, such as PCs, mobile devices, and servers used in hosting online play.

Yep, that’s a lotta usage! So how can we help? We recommend these quick tips the everyday gamer can do at home to minimize their energy usage:

* **Ensure the energy-saving settings of your devices are active**. Nearly all modern electronic devices have some sort of power-saving feature that reduces overall energy consumption when the devices are idling or not experiencing heavy use. The setup involved to activate these settings can vary, so be sure to check with your device’s manual or the manufacturer’s website for more information.
* **Use automated methods for shutdown.** Turning the device off entirely when it is not in use can be a no-brainer, but living in a world where we can access the power of the internet quite literally from our pockets is a breeding ground for distraction. Needless to say, we all forget to turn our devices off sometimes. Many consoles and devices also have options for automatic shutdowns as well, powering off the device completely after a certain point. In addition to ensuring these settings are enabled, the average consumer can go even further by investing in smart plugs and power strips for their homes. There are several of these products on the market, many of which integrate directly with smart home assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, and even offer methods for remote shutdown.
* **Stay conscious of the Energy Star ratings of your devices.** The Energy Star rating system is based on a set of criteria as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US. Stay mindful of where all of your devices sit on this scale, and prioritize looking for higher-rated options if available. For more information on how Energy Star ratings work, [visit the official Energy Star website.](https://www.energystar.gov/)

### **Tip #2: Go Digital**

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_91rf_Ww_IM_Gw_W2z_E1n_F4_Op_Dw_9f43cd1b77.png)We’ve seen the format in which completed games are delivered to us evolve quite extensively over the years. Gone are the days of having to begrudgingly blow the dust off of a cartridge just to get a game to load up (unless of course, you’re a retro gaming enthusiast like myself), and disc formats have grown to dominate the market of physical sales. But as the technology behind physical games has developed, so has the rise in digital downloads. An article published earlier this year by [Gamebyte](https://www.gamebyte.com/90-of-video-game-sales-in-2022-were-digital/) states that nearly 90% of game purchases were digital downloads in 2022, citing a news report from BBC. That’s a lot of downloads!

So what does this mean for the future of physical copies of games? And what are the environmental impacts associated with the switch to digital format? While we continue to ponder these questions, they are in fact nothing new to the gaming space, and truthfully the industry has been asking itself this for years now. With the growing concern surrounding the amount of E-waste (ie: landfill waste produced by electronics specifically) being recorded annually on a global scale compounded against the carbon footprint of the manufacturing of physical products, going digital should be a no-brainer, right?

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_9zk_U_Xnov_ON_e_W6n_Y7_Hrp_Qw_74c2d4466a.png)*Annual amount of e-waste produced as speculated by a* [*2019 UN Report.*](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/un-report-time-seize-opportunity-tackle-challenge-e-waste)Well, some people aren’t so sure.

In 2014, a research paper published by Mayers and colleagues aimed to challenge this logic by deep diving the process of physical game manufacturing and comparing the carbon emissions generated by the creation, distribution, and consumption of games in comparison with that of digital downloads.

The results left gaming publications stunned.

The study revealed that, while the download of games 8.8GB in size and under were arguably the more environmentally friendly option, the digital acquisition of larger games had more severe implications, reporting that the footprint for digital downloads of the 8.8GB sized games varied from 21.9-27.5 kg CO2-eq, whereas emissions stayed at around 20.8 kg CO2-eq for their physical counterparts. The study went on to speculate that the margin between the two scenarios only widened as game sizes grew.

These results have permeated the space and caused quite a bit of confusion amongst consumers, though progress in ecological efforts has proven to mitigate these concerns over time. Within a year after its publication, an article by [Polygon](https://www.polygon.com/2015/7/9/8921205/digital-or-physical-the-case-for-the-environmental-impact-of-our) challenged the broader reality of the study’s findings, drawing attention to the fact that the research was primarily conducted using the 2007 model of the PlayStation 3 and had cited internet energy data that dated back to 2010. Polygon’s article goes on to point out that Sony has continued to make generous strides in the energy efficiency of its products, citing that even the 2009 redesign of the PS3 console cut the console’s energy consumption in idle mode by half.

Needless to say, the argument of digital versus physical when it comes to game copies is an extensive rabbit hole with a near-endless amount of factors and moving parts to make observations of. Though even as consoles themselves increase in power and therefore increase in energy consumption, the industry’s continued efforts to improve performance alongside efficiency is worth considering. As industry leaders collectively move towards the shared goal of carbon neutrality via efforts such as the use of renewable energy sources for data centers, the argument to go digital only becomes stronger, even though progress made within the transition has been anything but linear.

Still, digitizing your entire game library certainly does not come without its concerns, and it can be difficult for “elder gamers” like myself to part ways with our attachment to physical media. Even worse, if you are one who operates under a completionist’s mindset when gaming in general, chances are you are probably prone to being a collector as well.

Regardless, choosing digital distribution over obtaining physical copies whenever possible seems to be the play, as at the end of the day our beloved hardware copies will not last forever. Anyone in the retro gaming collector’s market is already well aware of the growing issue of disc rot in CD formats released in the Y2K era, and if you fancy yourself a connoisseur of early N64 games, then you already know the woes of having to replace the internal lithium batteries of your cartridges in order to reinstate the game’s ability to save data. Even though developments in game manufacturing have remedied some of these concerns, everything ultimately has a life span worth considering, including the hard drive your digital copies are saved on. It all routes back to being more mindful of your consumption as a whole.

So, we urge you to consider going digital with your collection whenever possible, and if you’re an avid collector like me, consider only resorting to the purchase of physical copies from your absolute favorite game franchises. Because let’s face it, having a hard copy of that game you only played once before deciding you would never play it again is likely not going to bring you much personal value in the long run as it continues to collect dust on your shelf.

### **Tip #3: Recycle, Reduce, Refurbish**

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_0_E96_Km6_Y_Mq_Ga_P_Rdd5_at_LA_6c6546c532.png)We know all too well that all good things must come to an end, and the lifespan of your gaming consoles are no exception. Efforts by electronics companies to revolutionize the power our devices have and the strides made in their energy efficiency overall have ultimately done little to minimize concerns surrounding the materials used to make them in the first place, with gaming devices in particular being quite difficult to recycle. As a result, we are left with many devices ending up in landfills, with the [Global E-Waste Monitor](https://globalewaste.org/) reporting that successful e-waste collection only accounted for 15% of e-waste produced in North America alone in 2017, while the UN reported in 2019 that 50 million tons of e-waste is produced globally, with only 20% being formally recycled worldwide.

Needless to say, we’ve got some work to do when it comes to keeping our discarded electronics out of landfills, and for more than one reason. Another article published by Mongabay in 2022 provided valuable insights from sustainability enthusiast Dr. Benjamin Abraham, CEO of [AfterClimate Solutions](https://www.afterclimate.com.au/), a sustainability consulting company in Australia geared towards the gaming space. Abraham had reported finding the chemical composition of the central processing unit of the PS4 to have 54 different elements, of which several toxic heavy metals were included, contributing to rising concern surrounding the risks discarded electronics pose to wildlife.

Beyond this, proper e-waste collection efforts also present major potential for reclaiming some of the materials used to produce our devices. While extraction and purification methods come with their own impact and carbon footprint, the effects the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic had on the supply chain for electronics left the entire world facing the reality of what scarcity in materials really means for our society. As consumption continues to rise in tandem with waste production, it’s fair to say that any processes that can help humanity optimize our use of existing materials is worth consideration, especially if that helps us minimize the amount of things taking up space in our landfills that could potentially do further harm.

All of this considered, there is an obvious need for everyday consumers to take matters into their own hands and do their part, including gamers. Should that dreaded day finally arrive where your gaming device powers on no more and repair is not an option, do not cast your console into the toxic abyss that is your local garbage facility! Instead, explore options for recycling or safe disposal as sanctioned by your device’s manufacturers. We’ve done some of the leg work for you and compiled a list of recycling programs from industry leaders below:

### In Conclusion

The path to carbon neutrality is a long one, and truth be told we are still trying to collectively figure out the best means of transportation to that road’s end. We hope to continue deep-diving the subject of gaming’s impact on our planet with our community in the coming months so the conversation surrounding sustainability can carry on year-round.

Happy Earth Day, from all of us at Community Gaming!

We have To Talk About How Gaming Is Hurting Our Planet-Earth Day, 2023. What Gamers can do to help curb the cons of the gaming industry’s carbon footprint

We Have To Talk About How Gaming Is Hurting Our Planet-Earth Day, 2023



Hello Community Members!

It’s been a while since we at CG have given you an update on what our teams have been working on for all of you. January and February were large months for us, and we are excited to share some highlights with all of you.

### **Ecosystem Expansion**

Last July Community Gaming extended its on-chain offerings by offering support for Ronin Chain. We’ve been happy to see how many Tournament Organizers have run events with native payouts of AXS and SLP through this offering.

Continuing with our commitments to build and support the web3 space, we are happy to announce that we are now offering support for launching tournaments on **Solana**! In addition to that, you’ll now find that Phantom Wallet is supported, and if you’re new to Solana there is no need to worry as your default CG Wallet has been upgraded to support Solana prizes as well.

As an event host, you’ll find the option to run your event through Solana when configuring Prize Details. Reach out to your friendly CG Community Manager if your preferred token is missing, and we’ll add it in very quickly! Mark your calendar for March 15th as this is when the feature will become accessible while creating your Tournament.

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_ho_Ijn_Euyb_EC_Jnw_Uo_ZZ_5_Gg_Q_0134da10a9.png)### **Did Someone Say ‘NFT’?**

Listen, we get it. Some of you would rather steer clear of NFTs. That is why we are not going to hide this new feature under a veil by referencing it as ‘Digital Collectibles’. One day we hope to see more gamers embrace the philosophy of owning in-game assets, and until then we hope to see you competing on our platform to earn cash and USDC. However, for those who enjoy owning their digital assets in games like Skyweaver, Axie Infinity, or Thetan Arena-we are happy to announce we are looking to offer Early Access for organizers to beta test our NFT Prize feature for tournaments!

For those who opt into this [**Early Access here**](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeh1AQeZ8e-spHLWnynroaB7P_YYQAONmiL2WZrXS9239BBWA/viewform)you’ll be able to host Tournaments with NFTs as Prizes! Our talented development team tried something new for CG by creating a drag-and-drop interface. Tournament Organizers who apply and run an event with us are welcome to provide feedback that will go back directly to our Product & Development teams for additional polish ahead of a full launch. Please note that we don’t support NFTs on Solana just yet. Hold tight and we will look to get that later this year.

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_s2_D8x_S_Fl_6_HU_6_J_Ju_Fat_Sw_1cb40114eb.png)### **Wallet Management Gets an Upgrade**

At CG we are working to simplify your experience of gaming across multiple blockchains. To this end, we’ve added Sequence Wallet and Phantom Wallet support to your wallet management screen. We believe in making it easier to track all of your assets across different blockchains, and as a bonus feature in this update, we’ve made it possible for you to see NFTs assets in your connected wallets. Feel free to give this a try by connecting a Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Ronin Wallet, Phantom Wallet, or Sequence Wallet today.

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_w_R_Wl_Vc_VVI_Fp_P4_G_Emyu_Hsyw_2f7982706c.png)### **Roll Out the Red Carpet for the VIPs**

Have you ever run an event and space filled up before some of your devout followers could join? We have now launched a new feature to lock registration slots to specific invited players. You can see the first step of this in the Advanced Options, and from there you can find the menu to invite players by their username, email, or wallet address in the following modal.

For now, we offer this for solo tournaments starting on March 15th, and in the future will expand this to support Team based tournaments. Keep tuned for a future update from us on this.

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_1h_Y_i_Mby5_IH_Jff_T_Iox_p_Sw_c2ae77c757.png)### **More Power to the Organizers**

While all of the previous updates were large in scale, we haven’t lost sight of the day-to-day needs for Organizers to be successful with using Community Gaming’s platform for competitions. There are 3 additional highlights that the Product & Development team wants to call attention to.

1. Edit Tournaments
2. We have now enabled all Organizers to edit the details of their competition up until Check-In. This allows you to adjust bracket details, the number of participants, or prizing.
3. Duplicate Tournament
4. Admittedly we buried this feature, however, if you check out your Dashboard and scroll to the right, you’ll find a stealthy button to allow you to duplicate a previous tournament

and use it as a template to launch a new one.

1. Prizeless Tournaments
2. Sometimes you just want to play for fun, and it’s been awkward to advertise a “$0.01” prize when there isn’t a payout. So now we are enabling you to host an event without a prize or award. Whether it’s a practice tournament for a recent meta-shift, or you’re intending to run a League to identify the top 16 players to progress for a chance at a real prize down the line: We have your back.

### **The Fun Never Stops**

One of Community Gaming’s company values is “Never Stop Gaming”. In honor of that, we intend never to stop delivering value to all of you: Our Organizers, Competitors, and Community. In the past, we’ve stealth-dropped changes and updates to our products and features that have taken everyone by surprise. We are working through improved internal processes to provide awareness before changes. Until this is complete, you can look forward to monthly change logs.

March Community Gaming Update













A new tournament is on the horizon, and this time it’s all about taking your game to the next level! With a prize pool of $300 up for grabs, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

The tournament is open to a maximum of 128 players who will play in a Swiss bracket for seven rounds of Best of 1 Battle Mode Matches. Once the top eight players are decided, they will advance into a Single Elimination Top-Cut Bracket. The Quarter-finals will be played simultaneously, followed by the Semi-finals matches one after the other, and then the Grand Final will be played after both the Semi-finals have concluded.

![](https://d5lmexrq9cns9.cloudfront.net/1_tf_k_O6_Imi_Sk_Bm3j_Qfz_CWIA_9b916e87df.png)**The tournament is scheduled for April 8th**, starting at 12 pm EST/6 pm CET, and will be hosted by **Alphos**, the owner of [**Battle Arena**](https://twitter.com/SNAPBattleArena). Alphos and the Battle Arena team are expecting to see Shuri Zero continue to dominate, but they’re hoping to see some new archetypes to counter Shuri, maybe/possibly/potentially even including the Hit Monkey card that was released with the new season that launched on April 2nd. While the team isn’t hopeful that the new card will shake up the meta, they’ve been surprised before and are excited to see if they’ll be surprised again.
