Create my tournamentFrequently asked questions
How much does it cost to create a tournament on Caneko?
Creating and running the tournament is free. If there's an entry fee, the organizer shares the payment key (PIX, in Brazil) and marks who has paid.
Does it work for in-person tournaments?
Yes: players follow their table, pairings and results on their phones, and the organizer gets the judge's desk and a printable version.
Which format should I pick?
For one night, Swiss with top cut or single elimination. For a big event, two-phase Swiss or a points cut. For a season with squads, the team league. The organizer's guide explains each one.
What if my opponent doesn't show up?
Turn on per-match check-in: once paired, each player confirms they're there. Whoever doesn't confirm before the late tolerance runs out takes a no-show loss.
