Quick Start — Organizers

This guide walks you through creating and running your first event on SquadsSpace.

​

Step 1: Create Your Account

Head to platform.squads-space.com and sign up with your email and password. Everyone starts as a player.

​

Step 2: Convert to Organizer

Go to /organizer/register and fill in your details — your name, club name, etc. Once submitted, you’ll have access to both your Player Dashboard and Organizer Dashboard.

​

Step 3: Create a Tournament or Scrim

From the Organizer Dashboard sidebar, go to Tournaments and click Create. You’ll walk through a creation flow:

1. Name, description, and poster — give your event an identity
2. Visibility and registration mode — Public (Open or Approval Required) or Private (Invite Only or Invite Only with Approval)
3. Game mode — Solo, Duo, or Squad
4. Slots — how many teams can register
5. Schedule — registration start, registration close, tournament start, tournament close (optional)
6. Requirements — toggle what players need to meet:
   • Registering user must join club
   • Require full roster
   • Require all members in club (auto-enables the first two)
   • Require UID/IGN (auto-enables full roster)
7. Communication links — your WhatsApp group and Discord server
8. Point table — set kill points and placement points per position

​

Step 4: Build Your Roadmap (Tournaments Only)

After creating a tournament, build your roadmap. Define each stage — how many slots, how many teams advance, whether there are invited slots, and whether it’s Elimination or Round Robin. The system calculates everything automatically. Once your roadmap is set, it’s locked. You can download it as a shareable image using one of the free demo templates, or as a PDF — share it in your WhatsApp and Discord groups so players can see the full journey. Scrims don’t have roadmaps — they’re single-group events.

​

Step 5: Share and Collect Registrations

Publish your tournament. Players can find it by browsing the platform or through a direct link you share. For private events, share the secure invite link. You can regenerate it anytime if it gets leaked. If you chose Approval Required, review incoming registrations from your dashboard — approve or reject each one.

​

Step 6: Set Up Groups

Once registrations are in, set up groups for each stage. Configure group size and how invited slots are distributed (spread across groups or in a dedicated group). Click Generate and the platform creates all groups and assigns teams.

​

Step 7: Schedule Matches and Share Room Credentials

Set the schedule for each match. Enter the room ID and password — players will see it directly on the platform without needing to check WhatsApp or Discord.

​

Step 8: Enter Scores

After each match:

1. Open the match from your dashboard
2. Enter each team’s kills and placement in the score table
3. If UID/IGN is enabled, you can enter per-player kills
4. Click Save

Points are calculated automatically using your point table. The leaderboard updates instantly.

​

Step 9: Share Results

Your leaderboard updates in real-time. Share the link in your groups — players can check standings anytime. If you’re streaming, grab your overlay URL and add it as a browser source in OBS. SquadsSpace has two overlay types:

• In-match overlay — use while the match is live
• Full-screen overlay (16:9) — use after match completion or however you like

Both update in real-time as you enter scores.
