Dates & Payment

Configure entry fees, registration windows, the event schedule, and payment processing.

This tab covers everything money- and calendar-related: entry fees, registration windows, round scheduling, and payment processing.

Entry fee

Accept payments via OWR

Toggle this on to let players pay directly through the platform. OWR uses Stripe under the hood, so you connect your bank account (about 5 minutes). The setup wizard walks you through it, or manage payment settings from your profile. See Setting Up Stripe Payments for the full walkthrough. If you prefer to handle payments outside OWR (bank transfer, cash on the day), leave this off and set the amount to 0.

Ticketing fees

When payments are enabled, there is a small service and processing fee (4.5% + $0.30 per ticket). You choose who absorbs it:

  • Organiser (default) - the player pays the listed entry fee and the fee is deducted from your payout.
  • Player - the fee is added on top of the listed entry fee at checkout.

The breakdown below the toggle shows exactly what players pay and what you receive, both per-player and at full capacity.

Waitlist

Enable waitlist when full to let players join a queue once the player cap is reached. If someone drops out, the next person is offered their spot.

Important dates

  • Registration Opens - when the Register button becomes active on your event page.
  • Registration Closes - deadline for new sign-ups.
  • List Submission Deadline - cut-off for players to submit or update army lists.

Each date includes a time picker for precise cut-offs (for example, lists due by 11:59 PM the night before).

Phase management

Auto-manage from dates (default) opens and closes registration automatically based on the dates above. Disable it to control registration manually, useful if you need to pause sign-ups or extend a deadline.

Army Lists Visible, when enabled, makes all submitted lists visible to every registered player and locks further submissions. Typically you enable this after the list deadline so everyone can study their opponents' lists.

Event schedule

Set your start time for the first round and OWR auto-schedules the rest based on your round time. The scheduler inserts a lunch break around midday automatically. You can manually adjust individual round start times for irregular schedules (a shorter round 1, an extended lunch, a late start on day 2). Each round shows its scheduled date and time, spanning your event dates for multi-day events.

Refund policy

A refund policy section (configurable refund deadlines and partial refund percentages) is coming soon.
