Create a Tournament

To host a tournament on OWR, click Host Tournament in the sidebar (or the button in the top nav bar). This opens the creation form where you set up the basics before diving into detailed configuration.

AI-powered setup (optional)

At the top of the form is a drag-and-drop zone for your player pack PDF. Drop your pack in and OWR attempts to extract tournament details (name, points, rounds, dates, and so on) automatically. This is entirely optional; you can fill everything in by hand.

Tournament thumbnail

Upload an image (PNG, JPEG, or WEBP, up to 10 MB) as your event's cover art. It appears on tournament listings and the event page header.

Venue location

Start typing in the Location Search field and select a result to auto-fill the address, or enter the street address, city or suburb, state, country, and postal code manually. The venue appears on a map on your public event page to help attendees find it.
