Invited slots let you bring teams directly into any stage of your tournament, bypassing earlier rounds. This is how major events like FFIC and FFWS operate — pro teams get direct entry to later stages.

​
How It Works

When you configure your roadmap, you specify how many invited slots a stage has. The system reserves those slots separately from the teams advancing through earlier stages.

​
Managing Invited Slots

Each stage with invited slots has a dedicated Invited Slots page. From here you can:
  • Get your invite link — a secure link you share with the teams you want to invite
  • Regenerate the link — if it gets leaked, regenerate to invalidate the old one
  • Track capacity — see how many invited slots are filled vs remaining
  • View joined squads — see which teams have accepted and joined through the invite link
When a player receives your invite link, they have two ways to register:
  • Global Squad — register with their existing squad on the platform. They select which members to include, same as regular registration.
  • Solo registration — one player registers alone for the invited slot. They provide their IGN and UID if required by the tournament.

​
Approval Required

If your tournament uses an Approval Required registration mode, invited registrations still need your approval before they’re confirmed. Invited teams appear in your registrations dashboard as Pending, just like regular registrations. You review and approve or reject them the same way. For Open registration tournaments, invited teams are confirmed automatically when they register through the link.

​
The Invite Flow

  1. Open the stage’s Invited Slots page
  2. Copy the invite link
  3. Share it with the teams you want to invite (WhatsApp, Discord, DM, etc.)
  4. Invited teams use the link to register (Global Squad or solo)
  5. If Approval Required, approve their registration
  6. They appear in your joined squads list
  7. When you generate groups, invited teams are distributed based on your invited slots handling strategy (balanced, stacked, or frontload)

​
When to Use Invited Slots

  • Rewarding past champions — give last season’s winners direct entry to later rounds
  • Pro-am events — mix professional teams with community qualifiers
  • Sponsor obligations — guarantee spots for specific teams
  • Balancing competition — ensure strong teams are spread across the tournament

​
Example

Tournament: Phoenix Cup
  • Stage 1: Open Qualifiers — 192 squads, Elimination
  • Stage 2: Grand Finals — 24 squads, Round Robin, 6 invited slots
You share the invite link with 6 pro squads. They join through the link — some with their Global Squad, some registering solo. When you generate groups for Grand Finals, the system places those 6 invited squads based on your handling strategy, and fills the remaining 18 slots with teams advancing from Qualifiers.
