Play a Quick Tourney
When you are playing a tourney, you will get all the information directly in the bracket and enter the result of your pairings here too.
Pairing statuses The status of every pairing is represented by a color which will show you what you have to do next.  - In this pairing one player is missing
- Pairing is ready to be played  - A veto has been put  - Pairing played / no contestants |

Pairing-Window
In the pairing window you can always see and manage your current pairing. In a video to be released soon we will show you how to manage your participation in a Quick Tourney.
Vetos
A veto can be put on a pairing if your opponent has entered a wrong result or you need help by an admin. Therefore you click on the "Stop" sign. An admin has to clear this case now to remove the veto status. While you wait for an admin you can always clear the veto yourself: Both contestants always can report the match as a loss for themselves to clear the case. |
