2 free events at a time, no strings

Run up to 2 active small (≤16-player) leagues or tournaments at any time, completely free. Any format, any registration mode, with or without DUPR. The third event triggers the platform's standard per-registration fee. Paid Clubs always pay.

One simple rule

Free if all four are true

1. You're an Organizer account or running events without a club.
2. Capacity is ≤16 players.
3. You're not charging entry fees, session fees, or division fees.
4. You have fewer than 2 other active free events.

Hit any one of those? The third event still publishes — there's no hard block. Every registration on it just charges the standard platform fee, the same way it would on a Club account.

What's allowed

Any format

Round-robin, single-elim, double-elim, rung ladder, MLP, ladder leagues — the rule doesn't care.

Any registration mode

Full-season, per-week drop-in, player-chooses sessions, both. All eligible if there are no fees.

Public or private

Visibility doesn't change eligibility. Run a private league for your group of 8 or a public one open to anyone.

DUPR-enabled

Submit results to DUPR on a free event. We don't gate that behind a paid plan.

How the cap works

  • Active means active. Draft, registration-open, in-progress all count. Cancelled, completed, soft-deleted do not.
  • Leagues + tournaments share the count. Two leagues at once = full. One league + one tournament = full. Mix any way.
  • The third event still publishes. It's not a hard block — every registration on it just charges the platform fee.
  • Cancel one and the slot frees up. Future registrations on the next event you create resolve free again.
  • Stamped at registration time, forward-only. If you change capacity or fees mid-season, prior registrations stay billed where they were.

What's not free

  • Paid Clubs (facility, organization, both). Clubs paying for a subscription always pay the platform fee — this isn't a back door around a club plan.
  • Events with a 17+ capacity. The next-tier fee applies to every registration.
  • Events that charge entry fees. Once you're collecting money from players, the platform fee applies.
  • Demo events. Anything created in a demo club is excluded so demo data doesn't mask billing.
