Creating and Managing a Tournament at The Garden Gate
Certain members of The Garden Gate community will be Tournament Managers.
A Tournament Manager will be able to create tournaments, approve players who sign up, create matches between tournament players, and more.
There is no required tournament structure. Tournament Managers can use outside tools like tournament management websites to create and manage the tournament if desired as well.

Instructions to Tournament Managers
1. Create a thread in the Tournaments forum (here or on Discord).
To create a tournament, create a post in the Tournaments-And-Events-Forums forum channel in Discord or here in the forum. You will need to include the url to your tournament's forum thread when creating the tournament at The Garden Gate.
Use the forum thread to provide full details that players should know so they know what to expect from the tournament. What kind of tournament is this? What games will be played? When will it start? How long will it take? Etc.
Also include any additional rules you wish to include, such as requirements that players need to meet in order to participate, or anything else.
2. Create the tournament at The Garden Gate.
You'll need to provide a name, the tournament forum post url, and a short one-line summary of the tournament. Remember that the full details will be at the forum.
Players will be able to sign up to request to participate immediately after the tournament is created. I recommend having a form of secondary confirmation (posting on the forum or Discord, for example) before accepting users into the tournament to be sure players are committed to participating.
3. Create rounds, matches, and oversee the tournament as needed!
The only thing related to tournament structure that is enforced is that the tournament consists of rounds, which consist of matches.
As a tournament manager, you are able to approve players as they sign up, create rounds, and create matches within the rounds.
As the tournament progresses, please also keep the forum updated.

Ancient Oasis Tournament! -
GoddessOfFrenchFries - 06-25-2022
Hello everyone and welcome, to my first ever tournament of Skud Pai Sho!
This tournament should be pretty self explanatory, but every match will basically include the Ancient Oasis Expansion Tiles, aka, The Lion Turtle, The Pond, and The Bamboo! The double tiles option will also be on, so that you can choose the Regular Accent Tiles as well as these ones. There is one condition to your Accent Tile choosing however: You need to include atleast one tile from the Ancient Oasis Expansion. The tournament sign-ups will start on Monday 10 am GMT, and will last 2 weeks, so they will be ending at 1st of August 10 am GMT. At the end of the sign-ups, I will announce who gets matched with who by generating it randomly. The tournament will be held with Single Elimination. Each round will take 24 hours, and the number of rounds will depend on the player amount. If you don’t know how to use the stated tiles, you could read the explanation from Skudpaisho.com! I hope you consider joining, and good luck!
