# Becoming an Organizer

> Upgrade your player account to an organizer and create your first club.

Any player on SquadsSpace can become an organizer. The process takes about a minute.

## Before You Start

You need a SquadsSpace account first. If you don't have one, [sign up here](https://platform.squads-space.com/auth).

## The Become Organizer Page

Navigate to the Become Organizer page from your dashboard or sidebar. This landing page explains what you get as an organizer — tournament creation, stream overlays, live scoring, and full control over your events.

Click "Start Registration" to begin the wizard.

## Registration Wizard

The wizard has four steps:

### 1. Identity

Verify your account by confirming your password. This ensures you're the account owner before upgrading.

### 2. Terms

Read and accept the Organizer Terms of Service. These outline your responsibilities as a tournament organizer on the platform.

### 3. Club Setup

Choose a name for your first club. Your club is your organizer identity — it's what players see when they browse your tournaments. You can change the name later from Club Settings.

### 4. Review

Confirm your details and submit. Your account is upgraded instantly — no approval wait.

## After Registration

Once you're an organizer, you'll be redirected to the Organizer Dashboard. From there you can:

* Customize your club with social links and a banner in Club Settings
* Create your first tournament or scrim
* Invite players to join your club

Your player features remain fully available — you can still browse and register for other organizers' tournaments.
