# Register for a tournament
{% hint style="info" %}
To register for a tournament, you must be logged into your account.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
Some tournaments require a [license / membership](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-athlete/buy-a-licence-membership.md) to participate, and if you are playing with a partner, they must have a valid license as well.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
Some tournaments may have specific requirements for registration that you must follow. (For example, the majority of pickleball tournaments require a DUPR account to be connected)
{% endhint %}
How to connect DUPR (or other third-party licence)?
1\. Go to **Settings** in your account.
2\. Click on **Sport & Licenses**.
3\. Find **Connect DUPR** and click on it.
4\. If you do not have a DUPR account, you will be prompted to create one.
5\. Log in to your DUPR account, and your DUPR ID will be set automatically.
### The tournament registration process is straightforward:
1. Go to the tournament page.
2. Click on **Join Tournament.**
3. Select the category or categories you want to participate in.
4. If you're registering for the doubles or mixed category, you need to know your partner's email used for registration on the Tournated platform, as you will need to enter it. You can also add your partner to your list by navigating to **Settings** > **Career** and entering their email in the **Partner(s)** section. Once added, you can simply select your partner from your list during the registration process.
5. Pay for the tournament online by clicking **Register and Pay.** If there is a **"Register"** button instead, this means you can register first and pay later in cash.

{% tab title="How to Search for a Partner?" %}
If you're looking for a partner, apply for a partner search. To learn how it works, visit the **Search Partner** page.
{% content-ref url="/pages/OgNkom2jbqKoKbRo5XQn" %}
[Search for a partner (doubles)](/tournated/tournated-portals/tournated-athlete/search-for-a-partner-doubles.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="How to Register player as a Coach/Parent?" %}
After you select a category, click **I'm a coach/parent** and choose player from your list.
If you don't have any players to choose from your list, follow these steps:
1. Log into your **player's account** or ask the player to follow these steps.
2. Go to **Settings** and click on **Career.**
3. Add your **parent's email** or find your **coach's name** to link the account.
4. Once linked, return to your account and select the player from your list.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to participate in **singles**, simply select the category and complete the payment.
For **doubles**, you must enter your partner's registered email.
If you want to register a **team**, you first need to create one before proceeding with the registration, or be part of an existing team.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
To ensure your registration process is complete, you can check your registration status by going to your account and clicking **My Entries** or visiting the tournament page and checking below **Your Details.**
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
Some tournaments offer discounts if you participate in multiple categories. This information is usually provided on the **registration page** or in the **tournament description**. For example, if each category costs €30, you would pay the full price of €30 for the first category and receive a 50% discount on the second, which would be €15, making the total €45.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
By default, service fees are covered by the athlete and added to the primary fee. However, the organization may choose to cover these fees, in which case no additional charges will be added for the participant(s).
{% endhint %}

## Tournament Registration and Withdrawal Guidelines
Players can register for a tournament until the **entry deadline**. After registering, player can withdraw from the tournament before the **withdrawal deadline** by providing a reason.
{% hint style="info" %}
If a player withdraws, whether from a singles or doubles event, the entire doubles pair will be withdrawn automatically.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
After the withdrawal deadline, any requests to withdraw must be sent directly to the tournament organizer.
