Tournaments

Director-run competitions with your own rules and blind boards.

UPDATED · September 14, 2026

Tournaments are director-run. Someone sets one up, writes the rules, and runs it — it isn't a fixed bracket the app hands you.

Your own rules

A director decides what counts: the date range, solo or squads, who can join, what evidence an entry needs, and the rules a valid entry has to meet. The board itself always ranks by verified kills. That flexibility is the point — a weekend club tournament and a season-long crew competition look nothing alike, and both are just tournaments with different rules attached.

Entries and photos

Hunters enter a tournament by submitting kills with a photo — and, if the director asks for it, a short proof clip the director can review. The entry is the record the director judges against — not a claim with nothing behind it.

Blind boards

A director can run a tournament on a blind board — it can be picked or changed any time before the start, and an open board is the default. On a blind board you can see the kill tally coming in, but not who's ahead, until the tournament is finalized. The director sees the full board throughout. That keeps the last stretch from turning into a copy of whoever's currently winning, and keeps a late entry a real surprise instead of a predictable catch-up move.

Director review

Every entry runs through the photo check, with the tournament's own rules added on top. An entry that passes goes on the board right away; one the check can't confirm goes to the director to rule on. The director can open any entry, watch the proof, and rule on it — a photo that doesn't hold up, or a kill that doesn't meet the tournament's own rules, can be thrown out.

    1. The director sets up the tournament — rules, dates, format, evidence.
    2. Hunters enter kills with photos as they happen.
    3. On a blind board, the standings stay sealed until the tournament is finalized — by the director, or on its own twelve hours after it ends. The final is the reveal.
    4. Kills the photo check confirms count on the board as they land. Any it can't confirm go to the director to rule on, and the director can rule on any entry until the tournament is finalized.

Hosting

Hosting your own tournament is a Pro feature. Anyone can enter a tournament someone else is running; hosting one yourself is part of the Pro tier.

TIP

A blind board rewards hunters who keep grinding even when they can't see where they stand. If you're hosting, decide before the start whether the board runs blind — the reveal comes with the final.
