Create a Tournament

To host a tournament on OWR, click Host a 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 a Pro feature and entirely optional; you can fill everything in by hand.

Thumbnail and venue

Add a Tournament Thumbnail (PNG, JPEG, JPG, or WEBP, up to 10MB) for listings and the event header. Under Venue Location, start typing in Location Search and pick a result to auto-fill the address, or enter street, city or suburb, state, country, and postal code by hand. The venue shows on a map on your public event page.
