  5. Confirmation: A confirmation message will appear, indicating that the tournament details have been successfully updated.

Opening Tournament Participant Registration

By default, the RhetoTab system closes public registration for tournaments. However, tabmasters have the authority to invite participants by specifying their emails and roles.

To open public registration:

  1. Navigate to the "Other Settings" Tab of the Tournament: Ensure you have tabmaster permissions for the tournament.

  2. Enable Registration Categories: In the settings page, check the categories you wish to open for registration and click the corresponding save button. Each setting, such as registration categories, has its own save button. To close the registration, click the "default" button.

For more detailed instructions, please refer to the registrations section of the documentation.
