How do I create a new event?

First start by logging into your account at Tournkey.app and navigating to the Organizer role by clicking the profile icon in the top right and selecting Organizer.

From there follow the instructions below:

    1. If you're creating a more complex event please seek additional support from your Tournkey account manager. 
  4. Start by providing a logo, event name, and city. If you don't have an event logo please select a template to move forward. If you don't see an applicable logo, please select a placeholder and contact support@tournkey.com to request a new addition. Logo and Name

  2. Select the Stripe account you've previously created to receive money from the event.
    1. You are permitted to create additional accounts if you wish to receive money to multiple bank accounts and/or currencies for event operators in multiple countries
  3. Set the default price for your event. Each division may have its own price but the default price is used until a time in which you replace it with the division details
  4. Event organizers can receive a deposit of 10-50% if they choose. No deposit is set by default.
  5. By default, your platform fees are reduced from your total payout. However, you do have the opportunity to ask your customers to pay this fee. We give you the power to determine the delivery but all fees are non-refundable. Organizers do have the ability to refund amounts equal to the fee collected by the platform regardless of the decision made here. 
  6. Finally, if you've upgraded your account you'll be able to receive offline payments. Including but not limited to checks, cash, money transfer, etc. 
  7. In the final step of creation, you'll be asked to create all of your divisions in bulk. You can create more later but our easy event launch allows you to use the default information above to quickly replicate information for each division.
  8. Once you've completed all these steps you'll be given an overview screen to review your information before finalizing the creation of your event.
