Initial steps

  1. Sign into rk9.gg and go to your Organizer Dashboard.


  1. Clicking on the tournament name takes you to the Tournament Tasks page. This page shows you basic information about your tournament, and is where you will find tournament-specific tasks that you’ll use to manage your tournament.

  1. Verify that your tournament date and time are correct.

  2. Review when your tournament registration and deck list submission will open and close. 

  3. Verify that your venue (online or in store) is correct.

  4. If you need help, click on the I need help! button for links to RK9 and tournamentcenter  help resources


  1. Click Public details page to verify your store information. You should only need to do this for one tournament, since the same information was populated into your four tournaments.

  1. Ensure that your Discord server is set up and configured. Players may begin joining in advance of tournament registration opening. Make sure you have your announcements and FAQs posted so players can read them as they join.

  2. The Public details page also displays other relevant information for your tournaments.

  1. If you need to edit tournament details, click on Edit tournament details. You are able to edit the fields marked below.

  1. Tournament date and time

  2. Registration close date and time

  3. Deck list submission close date and time
    Tournament registration and deck list submission will open based on their defaults – registration opens 8 days before the tournament, and deck list submission opens 5 days before. These values will reset based on their defaults if you change the tournament date or time.

  4. Discord invite URL

  5. If you are in a region/country/US state where in-person tournaments are allowed, you can edit the Venue.



8 days before – tournament registration opens

  1. After players register, they appear on the Check-in List. Review the list periodically in case you need to contact a player about their registration. 


  1. Players will be more active on your Discord server after registration opens. Make sure all information on your server is up to date, and that you (or your staff) are available to answer questions.

  1. If players have questions about their registration, point them to their Player Tournament Dashboard (accessed by clicking on the tournament name in their Player Dashboard).



5 days before – deck list submission opens

  1. Once deck list submission opens, players will begin to submit their lists. As they do, they will be checked into the tournament, and you’ll see the list icon   appear in the deck list column.

    1. Checked in players are shown in bold, and their check-in icon  is filled in.

    2. The list icon   is also a link to the judge-view of a submitted deck list. To view a player’s deck list, click on the icon. 
      Note: The judge-view of a deck list is different from what the players see on the public-facing player deck list. The judge-view lists should only be shared with your tournament staff; they should never be shared with players.

  2. Check your Discord frequently to answer player questions. Players may ask you to verify that you’ve received their deck list. Point them to their Player Tournament Dashboard (accessed by clicking on the tournament name in their Player Dashboard). They can also verify their submission on Live Roster.

1–3 days before

  1. Continue to review your Check-in List.

    1. It’s a good idea to post a reminder in your Discord server with the date and time that registration and deck list submission will close. Remind players that they will not be included in Round 1 if they do not submit a deck list on time.

  2. Check your Discord frequently to answer player questions. Players may ask you to verify that you’ve received their deck list. Point them to their Player Tournament Dashboard (accessed by clicking on the tournament name in their Player Dashboard). They can also verify their submission on Live Roster.


Post your final reminders about deck list submission closing on your Discord server. Keep an eye out for any players who have not submitted their deck list yet, and send appropriate reminders.
