Add Players to an Event

How to add players to an event from the Admin Dashboard.

In most cases, players will register for events themselves from the event page on the game-specific play or gaming network (i.e. the Disney Lorcana Play Network). But if a Tournament Organizer needs to, they can add players manually through the Admin Dashboard.

Note: Adding players manually will send them a registration email just like it would if they had signed up for the event themself.

Add Players to an Event

To add players to an event:

  1. Open the event in the Admin Dashboard

  2. Navigate to the Players tab

  3. Click on the + Add Players button

  4. Enter the player information

    • If the player has previously played at your store, search by email, name, or registration code OR

    • If they are a new player, enter the their name. Email is optional — if provided and they're in the Carde.io system, their name will autofill.

    • Game Publishers have the option to require that players create an account and accept the Terms & Conditions before they can be added to an event. If this is the case, you will be prompted with a QR code for the player to scan to complete their account creation and sign up. When this option is enabled by the publisher, players cannot be added to the event until they have created an account and accepted the Terms & Conditions.

  5. If they have paid, optionally check the Mark as Paid box

  6. Click Submit

  7. If you have multiple players to add, click Submit & Add Another to keep the Add Player pop-up open until you are finished
