Registration & Check-in

How tournament registration and check-in work, and what happens to players who don't check in.

Tournament registration and check-in are separate steps. Players must first register, then actively check in before the tournament starts to confirm they are present.

How it works

  1. 1

    Registration

    Players visit the tournament page on GotNext.gg and click Register. Open tournaments are available to any player; invite-only tournaments require a link.

  2. 2

    Check-in window opens

    At the configured time before the tournament starts, the check-in window opens. A Discord webhook notification is sent if Discord is connected.

  3. 3

    Check in via Discord or website

    Players use the /checkin Discord command or the check-in button on the tournament page to confirm their attendance.

  4. 4

    Automatic removal

    Players who do not check in before the window closes are automatically removed from the bracket. This keeps your bracket clean and prevents no-shows.

Set a check-in window of 15–30 minutes before the start time. This gives players enough notice while keeping the event on schedule.
