# Managing player profiles and teams for tournaments in ggLeap

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/d/6/afd6941e8bc7d800/image_nakgel.png)

Player Profiles let players and teams register for competitions, manage schedules, and showcase results in the ggLeap Tournament Feature. This article is for players and team captains.

## Create a Player Profile
1. Go to https://players.ggcircuit.tourneybit.com/sign-up.
2. Sign up with an email address or a third-party account.

| Note: Signing in at https://players.ggcircuit.tourneybit.com/sign-in with an unrecognized email address or third-party account also creates a new Player Profile.

## Sign in
Sign in at https://players.ggcircuit.tourneybit.com/sign-in.

| Method | How it works |
| ---- | ---- |
| Discord (third-party) | Sign in with your Discord profile |
| FACEIT (third-party) | Sign in with your FACEIT profile |
| Email address | Enter your email, then click or tap the magic link sent to your inbox |
| ggCircuit | Available only in some registration contexts |

| Not seeing all methods?

| When you sign in to register for a specific competition, the organizer can restrict which methods are allowed. The ggCircuit method appears only when registering for specific competitions.

## Your profile
Your profile is a public page showing team affiliations, in-game IDs, and tournament results. When signed in, you can also view your schedule and manage your teams.

**Profile URL:** `https://players.ggcircuit.tourneybit.com/@{username}`

| Note: You must be signed in to customize your profile. Check the top-right corner to confirm.

### Customize your profile
| Task | Steps |
| ---- | ---- |
| Edit display name and tagline | Press **Edit profile**, make changes, then press **Save** (or **Cancel** to keep the old info) |
| Change username | On your profile page, while signed in, change your username. You can change it up to 3 times in a 30 day period. Your profile URL includes your username, so it changes with it |
| Change profile picture | Click or tap your picture (or initials) and upload a new one |
| Add a team | Press **+ Add Team Affiliation** |
| Remove a team affiliation | Press the trash can in the item's corner; it changes to a trash can with an X. Press it again to confirm |
| Add an in-game ID | Press **+ Add In-Game ID** |
| Remove an in-game ID | Press the trash can, then press again to confirm |

||| Warning: Removing a team affiliation removes you from the team. It does not delete the team.

||| Warning: If you change your username, links to your old profile URL that you shared elsewhere (for example on the web or in Discord) stop working, and another player can then take your old username. Links to your profile from within the tournaments platform keep working.

### Linked accounts
Linked accounts are managed by the system based on how you sign in.
Third-party accounts with the same email address are linked automatically.

## Teams
Adding a team affiliation automatically creates a Team Profile. Use it to invite teammates, register for tournaments, view the team schedule, and display team results.
Click or tap a newly created team to open it.

### Leave a team
Go to your main profile page and remove the related team affiliation.

## Register for a tournament
When you join through a QR code, landing page, or direct registration link, you are prompted to sign in to your Player Profile if you are not already.
1. Sign in. Some profile data pre-fills the registration form; edit it as needed.
2. Complete any extra fields the tournament or league requires.
3. For team events, select an existing team or add a new one. Depending on the competition, you can create an impromptu team or register an existing team.
4. Submit the form.

|| After submitting, you see a confirmation page and receive a confirmation email at the address you registered with.

|| The page shows whether the organizer must approve you before you are officially added.

|| If approval is required, your registration shows as pending on the tournament's public page (if it has one). It looks like a regular registration, with a yellow border. Only you can see your pending registrations, including those for your teams. When the organizer officially adds you to the tournament, you receive a second confirmation email.

||| Warning: Some competitions restrict who can register. Contact the organizer about eligibility and approvals.

| Note: You can register for tournaments outside your own gaming center with your Player Profile.

| Note: For a public tournament, you can still view the event page after the tournament starts.

## Check in for a tournament
Some organizers use check-in to confirm who is present before a tournament starts. 
An organizer can check you in manually, or enable self-service check-in.

![Self-Service Check In](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/d/6/afd6941e8bc7d800/image_1tjpz7l.png)
With self-service check-in, you receive an email with a link that takes you straight to check in. 
You can also check in from the top of the **Overview** tab of your profile, or from your schedule. 
Check in within the window the organizer sets.

![Self-Service Check In Via Profile](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/d/6/afd6941e8bc7d800/image_y6md2e.png)
| Note: If you miss the check-in window, you are considered a no-show. The organizer can then remove you or, if they let you in, check you in manually.

## Player schedule
Once an organizer officially adds you to a tournament or match, it appears in the **Schedule** tab of your profile. You must be signed in to view it.

| Feature | Details |
| ---- | ---- |
| Add to calendar | Downloads upcoming events as an iCalendar file for any compatible calendar. It is a static export, so **later event updates do not sync** |
| Calendar sync | In the **Calendar** section of the **Schedule** tab, press **Subscribe** and pick your calendar app. Officially supported: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar |
| Match reminders | For scheduled matches in leagues and multi-day tournaments, a reminder email goes to your Player Profile email within 24 hours of start (typically about 8 hours before) |

## Tournament results
Results post publicly to the **Results** tab of your profile after the organizer finalizes the tournament.
The tab also shows high-level statistics on your performance over time.
