Once they do so a role will be asigned to them "tournament player" to access a private room for all players to discuss the tournament freely. Its mandatory that teams pick a name and a captain who will be in charge of scheduling the matches. In case that a player wants to sign up but has no team, the procedure of sign up will be the same and all solo players will be fairly teamed up to maximize the elo cap according to their ratings.

All players must use the same account they registered with the entire tournament, which should be the main account.
