Hosting › Registrations and players
Manage registrations: review, withdraw, invite
Review participant registrations, withdraw entrants, invite players, and track player statuses from your TopSeed host dashboard.
Open your event manage dashboard and click the Registrations tab to review and manage all tournament entries. From the registrations page, you can search players, review registration statuses, message individual participants with Contact Player, and remove entrants using Withdraw Player.
1. Access the registrations dashboard
- Navigate to your event page while signed in as the host, or open your tournament from the Manage Event console.
- In the manage menu, click Registrations (
/events/[slug]/manage/registrations). - View the total registration counter and the list of entrants. Use the "Search registrations..." input to filter by player name or email address.
2. Understand player registration statuses
TopSeed tracks each entrant's status in the registration table:
- Registered. The participant has completed sign-up and confirmed their spot in the draw.
- Awaiting Partner. In doubles divisions, one player completed sign-up and is waiting for their invited partner to accept.
- Looking for Partner. The player signed up as an individual seeking a doubles partner and appears in the partner pool.
- Withdrawn. The entrant withdrew or was removed before the draw was generated.
- Retired. The entrant pulled out after the bracket was generated and posted.
3. Take action on registrations
Click the three-dot menu on any registration row to access participant actions:
- Contact Player. Opens a dialog that shows that participant's email address so you can copy it into your own email client and write to them about tournament scheduling, check-in, or equipment guidelines.
- Withdraw Player. Removes the entrant from the tournament. A dialog opens displaying the player's name, draw, and withdrawal details. Confirming the withdrawal updates the roster immediately and frees capacity for other players.
You can also click Withdraw Player in the quick actions bar above the table to search for any registered participant and initiate a removal. For how and when your share is paid out after the event, see the payout terms in the Organizer agreement.
4. Invite players to open divisions
To invite players directly to your event:
- Click Invite Players above the registrations table.
- Enter player email addresses or paste a list of contacts.
- Send the invitations. Invited players receive an email link that directs them to your event registration page.
Hosts do not manually enter credit cards or submit entries on behalf of participants. If a parent or guardian asks how to register a junior player, direct them to use their own account to add the child as a managed player during tournament registration. See Register a player on their behalf.
Frequently asked questions
- Where do I view all registered players?
- Go to your event manage page and select Registrations from the navigation tabs to view your searchable participant table.
- How do I remove a player from an event?
- Click the action menu beside the player's name in the table and select Withdraw Player, or click the Withdraw Player button above the table.
- What happens when a draw is full?
- The draw shows as full and closes to new sign-ups. Waitlists are not available yet, so if a player withdraws the freed spot is simply open again for anyone who registers.
