Player Portal

The Player Portal opens from the tournament page, not from your Dashboard. Once your registration is confirmed and the organizer has enrolled you, a purple button appears on the tournament page:

This button shows up once the tournament status is "In Progress" or "Completed" — you can still open the portal after the event ends to review your standings and match history.

• The portal opens in a new tab, separate from the public tournament page.
• If you registered but the organizer has not enrolled you yet, you are redirected instead to the live tournament page with the note "You are in the lobby. You will be enrolled by the tournament organizer."
• If you manage several player profiles in the same tournament (for example, registering your children under their own profiles), each profile gets its own "Player Portal" button on the tournament page — click the one for the profile you want to open.

The portal has up to five tabs, shown as a bar at the top of the screen on desktop and as a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen on mobile:

• Match — Your current round: opponent or pod, timer, and result reporting. This is the tab you land on when you open the portal.
• Seating — Only shown if you have a pre-tournament seat assignment. Disappears once round pairings replace seating.
• Pairings — Every match of every round, not just yours.
• Standings — The current tournament ranking.
• History — Your own completed matches.

The Match tab shows a card with everything about your current round:

• Round number, shown in the card header.
• Table number — a large amber number for 1v1 matches, or a smaller accent-colored badge for multiplayer pods.
• "Best of" — the match format (best of 1, 3, or 5) shown next to the round and table, for 1v1 matches.

Timer

When the organizer runs a round timer, it appears at the top of the match card and also as a compact bar that sticks to the top of the screen once you scroll down. The timer has four states:

Color thresholds: green with more than 10 minutes left, amber between 5 and 10 minutes, red under 5 minutes or once time is up.

Opponent and toss

For a 1v1 match, the card shows a label — "Opponent", or "Your Match (Seat X)" if you are playing team trio — followed by your opponent's name. There is no avatar and no match record shown here.

If the organizer ran a toss, a small chip appears under the opponent's name:

See the Toss (Play / Draw) reference page for how the organizer runs a toss.

Double elimination bracket context

In a double elimination phase, a banner above the match tells you which side of the bracket you are on and what is at stake:

• Winners bracket — Win to advance; lose and you drop to the losers bracket.
• Losers bracket — Lose and you are eliminated.
• Grand Final — The match for the title.

Byes

If you receive a bye this round (1v1 or multiplayer), the card simply shows "You received a bye this round" and "You win automatically." — there is nothing to report.

When there is nothing to show yet

Before the organizer publishes pairings for the round, the card shows "Pairings will be published soon." If you simply have no active pairing (for example between phases), it shows "No active pairing at the moment."

When the organizer has self-reporting enabled and the round is active, the match card shows a game-by-game grid instead of a plain score field. Each row is one game of the match, with three buttons: your name, "TIE", and your opponent's name.

1. Tap the winner of each game you have played (or TIE if a game was drawn). A live score preview appears once at least one game is recorded.
2. Tap "Submit Result".
   Submit Result

If your match does not fit the game-by-game grid (for example, an unusual score or a game conceded outside the normal flow), use "Custom Result" instead:

This opens a modal with a +/- stepper for your wins, for "Draws", and for your opponent's wins. Confirm with "Submit", or "Cancel" to go back to the game-by-game grid.

After you submit

Whoever reports first sees "Waiting for opponent confirmation..." with the reported score. Your opponent then sees "Your opponent reported:" with the score from their point of view, and two buttons:

• Confirm agrees with the reported score — the result becomes final and the card shows "Result confirmed".
• Dispute rejects the reported score and flags the match for staff — the card shows "Disputed — waiting for judge". You cannot confirm or dispute a result you reported yourself.

If self-reporting is off, or the round is not active, the card simply shows "Waiting for round to start or results from staff..." — a judge or scorekeeper will enter the result for you.

For multiplayer formats (such as Commander/EDH), the Match tab shows your pod instead of a single opponent: a "Pod Players" list with every player at your table, each marked with a seat letter (A, B, C, and so on — not a seat number).

A green check appears next to any player who has already confirmed the reported result.

Time extension and penalties

• If a judge or organizer granted your table extra time, a banner reads "Time extension: +N min", with a "Why?" link that expands the reason and who granted it.
• A "My penalties" list shows any caution, warning, game loss, match loss, or disqualification recorded against you during the tournament, so you can keep track without leaving the match view.

When self-reporting is enabled and the round is active, a "Report Result" section appears with one row per pod player and up to three buttons per row:

• Win — mark any player at the table as the winner (any player can select this for any other player).
• Concede — only shown on your own row. It records your result as a loss for this pod and shows a "Conceded" tag next to your name. It does not remove you from the pod or from the tournament — you stay listed and remain enrolled for future rounds.
• Tie — marks every non-conceded player in the pod as a draw ("Tie").

"Submit Result" only becomes active once the selections are valid: exactly one player marked as the winner, every remaining player marked Tie, or you conceding your own game.

Confirmations

A pod result needs confirmation from every other player at the table before it is final:

• The player who reported sees a progress bar and "Waiting for pod confirmations..." with a running count (for example 2/3).
• Every other player sees "A player reported the result above. Do you agree?" with Confirm and Dispute buttons, the same as 1v1 reporting. Once you confirm, you see "You confirmed" plus the same progress bar.
• The result flips to "Result confirmed" once enough pod members have confirmed. A Dispute at any point shows "Disputed — waiting for judge".

If self-reporting is off, or the round is not active, the card shows "Waiting for round to start or results from staff...".

In a team trio tournament, the Match tab adds a team-vs-team header above your own match: your team's name, the board score once it starts coming in (or "vs" before any result), and your opponents' team name.

Below the header, every sub-match (one per seat) is listed with a seat chip — by default "Seat A", "Seat B", "Seat C" — and both players' names. Your own sub-match is highlighted. The "Opponent" label above your own game is replaced with "Your Match (Seat X)".

You report and confirm your own seat's result the same way as any 1v1 match — see Reporting a 1v1 Result.

If the organizer turns on "Open decklists" for the current phase, you can see your opponent's decklist for your match.

• 1v1: an expandable "View opponent decklist" panel shows the deck name, then the cards grouped by section (mainboard, sideboard, and so on) with quantities such as "x2".
• Multiplayer: one expandable panel per opponent in your pod.

The organizer can also narrow what is shown, independently of each other:

• Hide card counts — quantities are hidden; you only see which cards are in the deck.
• Hide card categories — the deck is shown as one flat list instead of grouped sections.

What you see is the exact decklist your opponent submitted and locked for this tournament, not a live view of their deck-building library — later library edits do not change what is shown here.

See the Decklists & Deck Builder page for how to build and submit your own list.

During a Booster Draft phase, before the first round is generated, the Match tab shows a "Draft Pod N" card with a "Drafting" badge instead of a pairing.

• A visual layout shows every player seated around your draft table, with your own seat highlighted and labeled "You".
• The center of the card shows your pod number and seat number — for example "Pod 2" / "Seat 5" — unless the organizer set the phase to a Swiss-only seating mode, in which case it reads "Random seat" and no seat pastilles are shown.
• While deck building is open, a "Building Phase" block shows your building Table, Side ("Left" or "Right"), and Duration in minutes.

Once rounds start, the pod summary collapses into a small banner ("Pod N · Seat N", or "Pod N · Random seat") above your match card, which you can expand or collapse.

If the organizer assigned you a pre-tournament seat, a "Seating" tab appears before the first round starts. It only shows up for players who actually have a seat assignment.

The page shows your table number and the other player seated there, with "You" and "VS" between the two names. The Seating tab disappears once round pairings replace it.

Shows the current tournament ranking. Search by name (or by team name in a team trio event) and choose how many rows to display: 50, 100, 200, 500, or All.

• Your row is highlighted and marked "(You)" (or "(Your team)" in team trio).
• A "Final phases" column appears once any player has a bracket result badge (for example Champion, Finalist, Top 8), with a tooltip explaining it shows a player's finish in the elimination bracket phase.
• Tiebreaker columns are shown on larger screens (tablet and up).
• Dropped players stay visible in the standings, shown dimmed.

If the organizer has not published standings yet, the page shows "Standings have not been published yet." If there is simply nothing to rank yet, it shows "No standings yet."

Lists every match of a given round, not only yours. Round tabs run across the top, colored by status:

Pending rounds are gray, the active round is green with a pulsing dot, completed rounds are amber, and the round you are currently viewing is solid accent. Round tab labels follow the phase type — bracket phases read "Quarterfinals", "Semifinals", "Finals", and double elimination waves read "Winners bracket", "Losers bracket", or "Grand Final".

• 1v1: a table with Table, Player 1, Score, and Player 2 columns. A bye shows "BYE" in place of a score.
• Multiplayer: one card per pod, listing every player by seat letter, with a status chip (such as Confirmed or Reported), and each player's result (WIN / Loss / Draw) and points.
• Team trio: one expandable card per team pairing — the board score in the summary row, and every sub-match with its seat chip when expanded.
• Your own row, pod, or team is highlighted.

Use the search box to find a specific player or team within the selected round. Empty states: "Pairings for this round have not been published yet." before the organizer publishes, "No pairings for this round yet." when there is nothing to show, and "No pairings yet." if the phase has no rounds at all.

Your own completed matches only — a round still in progress does not appear here. Choose how many rows to display: 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, or All. In a multi-phase tournament, matches are grouped under a header for each phase.

• 1v1 rows show the round, your opponent, the table, and the score (for example "2-1 (1D)" when there was a draw), with a result chip:
  WIN LOSS DRAW BYE
• Multiplayer cards show the round, table, and an outcome label — "Victory", "Defeat", or "Draw" — followed by every pod player, their seat, and the points they earned.
• Team trio rows also show your team's name, the board score, and your seat chip.

If you have no completed matches yet, the page shows "No completed matches yet."

Organizer announcements appear at the top of the Match tab, up to three at a time, with a "+ N more announcement(s)" note if there are more. Dismiss one with the close icon on its card, or clear them all at once:

The portal updates itself without you refreshing the page: timer changes and new pairings arrive instantly over a live connection, with a fallback check every 30 seconds (every 2 minutes while the live connection is active) so the page never goes stale even on a spotty connection. On mobile, pull down at the top of the Match tab to force an immediate refresh.

You can drop from the tournament at any time from the Match tab. Dropping removes you from future pairings, but your past results stay in the standings (shown dimmed).

You are asked to confirm: "Are you sure you want to drop from this tournament? This action cannot be undone."

If you manage several player profiles in this tournament, the button is replaced by a panel titled "Drop from tournament" listing each profile with its own "Drop" button, so you can withdraw one profile while staying enrolled with the others.

Once you drop your last active profile, you are redirected to the tournament page with the message "You have dropped from the tournament."
