Open

🔵 Status: OPEN

When does a tournament receive this status?

The "Open" status is assigned automatically the moment the tournament is created (after clicking "Create Tournament").

What does this status mean?

  • ✅ The tournament is created and visible in the app.

  • ✅ Incomplete lineup (there are still vacant spots).

  • ⏳ Team recruitment is ongoing (invitations and applications).

  • ⚠️ The tournament is NOT YET confirmed.

What do participants see?

All app users:

  • See the tournament in the "Events" tab.

  • Can view details and read the description.

  • Can apply to participate with their teams.

  • See how many spots are still available (e.g., "6/12 teams").

Invited teams:

  • Receive an invitation notification.

  • See the tournament in the "Invitations" section.

  • Can Accept or Decline the invitation.

What can you do as an organizer?

✅ Invite Teams

Search the FC.APP database and send invitations.

✅ Manage Applications

Review requests in the "Applications" section; Accept (green ✓) or Reject (red ✗) teams.

✅ Manage Invitations

Track responses ("Confirmed", "Declined", or no response) and Cancel invitations (red X) if needed.

✅ Edit Details

Modify all tournament data (name, description, location, hours, regulations, format, number of teams).

✅ Share Tournament

Promote the event on social media (Facebook, WhatsApp) by copying the link.

❌ What can you NOT do?

  • You cannot confirm the tournament (button is inactive).

  • You cannot create a schedule.

  • You cannot start matches.

Moving to the next status

The event status automatically changes to "Pending" when:

  • ✅ All spots are filled (full team lineup).

  • ✅ Number of confirmed teams = total capacity of the tournament.

Example: A 12-team tournament status changes when 12 teams are confirmed.

Returning to "Open" status

It is possible to revert to "Open" status from "Confirmed" if:

  • You remove a team before the start (up to 1h before the first match).

  • You increase the total number of teams to be greater than the current number of confirmed teams.

  • The system will automatically switch from "Confirmed" → "Open" as a spot becomes available.
