• Freeroll tournament - anyone can register at no cost by signing register transaction

• Paid entry - anyone can register by providing required amount in SOL or SPL-token

The token, amount and portion added to the prizepool of the game is set by the game host when creating the tournament

Registration

• The tournaments with "Registering" status are open for registration

• Press "REGISTER" button to generate the transaction to join the tourney and sign it.

• The Registration transaction would only generate if you meet the entering criteria above.

The "Registration" transaction in the paid entry tourneys sends the specified amount of SPL-tokens needed to register from your wallet to the tournament contract.

If it is a freeroll game, then no assets will be taken from your wallet.

Playing the tournament

After you are registered, your nickname or wallet address will be added to the leaderboard in the tournament lobby. When the game starts, go to the tournament lobby to join your table.

• Press "Join my table" in the tournament lobby to start playing.

• You will only see "Join my table" button after tournament is started.

• Join the tournament on time to start playing with the full chips stack.

If you fail to join on time, you will be sitting out until you run out of your chips and lose. You are able to join the tournament and continue the game while you still have chips.

• All the players in the tournament would start with the same amount of chips

• Track your position and players remaining in the tourney on top right sidebar

• Track the amount of chips of all players in the leaderboard section of the tournament lobby

Tournament game is run on multiple tables depending on amount of players registered. Players are reseated automatically during the game when more players lose.

• The game continues until one player wins all the chips, then the game ends.

• Check the leaderboard to see your position in the tournament.

Claim prizes

After the tournament ended, the winners of the tournament are qualified to interact with the tourney contract to retrieve prizes to their wallet. If you are the winner, here is what to do:

• Go to the tournament lobby and press "Claim prizes" button on the top right

• "Claim prize" button is located exactly at the same place where "Join my table" button was.

• The settlement transaction will initiate to deposit Solana, SPL-token or NFT prizes to your wallet.

• If the prizes are in SPL-token or NFTs, then associated token account is required.

• If you don't have one (for example when receiving that token for the first time), the settlement transaction will also initiate the account creation. The cost is around 0.003 SOL per token account.
