# How to Find and Join Gaming Tournaments on GamerPlug

> Browse upcoming and live tournaments on GamerPlug, filter by game and platform, and register solo or with your squad in a few taps.

Open the Tournaments tab to see a live feed of upcoming and active events across Apex Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, and League of Legends. Each card shows you the game, organizer, prize pool, format, start time, and how many spots are still open — everything you need to decide in seconds whether an event is worth your time.

## How to Find and Join a Tournament

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open GamerPlug and tap the Tournaments tab">
    The feed loads immediately with upcoming and live events. Live events appear at the top so you never miss an active bracket.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by game or browse all events">
    Tap a game icon — Apex Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, League of Legends — to narrow the feed to that title. Leave the filter off to browse everything happening across the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a tournament to view its details">
    Tap any event card to open the full tournament page. Here you'll see everything about the event before you decide to enter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the format, prize pool, start time, region, and spots remaining">
    Check the key details up front: the format tells you how the bracket works, the region confirms you're eligible, and the spots counter shows you whether registration is still open.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap 'Join Tournament' or 'Register on Organizer Site'">
    Community-hosted events let you register directly inside GamerPlug. Org-hosted events integrated with platforms like Challengermode will take you to the organizer's site to complete registration — you'll see which flow applies on the tournament page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="For team events, confirm your roster or invite squad members">
    Apex Legends team events show a team map so you can see open seats and filled rosters. Invite squad members from GamerPlug or claim a seat on an open team. Make sure everyone is registered before the event goes live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What You'll See on a Tournament Page

Every tournament page surfaces the information you need to commit without any guesswork:

| Detail                                   | What It Tells You                                             |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Game and organizer**                   | Who is running the event and which title it's for             |
| **Prize pool**                           | Free entry or a cash amount (e.g. \$100)                      |
| **Start date/time (UTC)**                | Exact kick-off time — all times shown in UTC                  |
| **Format**                               | Single Elimination, Battle Royale, or other bracket type      |
| **Region**                               | North America, Global, or another specified region            |
| **Registered players / spots remaining** | How full the event is (e.g. 45/50 — 5 spots left)             |
| **Activity feed**                        | Live updates, organizer posts, and lobby codes after you join |

### Activity Feed and Lobby Codes

Once you register, the activity feed unlocks. Organizers post the lobby code here right before start time, and other participants use it to coordinate warm-ups, confirm lineups, and communicate during the event. Check the feed in the minutes leading up to the start time.

For Apex Legends team events, tap **View team map** on the tournament page to see a visual breakdown of all registered teams and their seats. Use this to confirm your squad is on the same team, or to claim an open seat if you're entering solo.

## Filtering and Browsing Tips

* **Game filter** — tap a game icon to filter the feed to a single title; tap it again to clear the filter and see all events
* **Platform filter** — narrow results by gaming platform to find events you're eligible to enter
* **Upcoming vs. past** — switch between upcoming and completed events to check results or revisit brackets
* **Region** — event cards show the region; check this before registering to make sure you're eligible to play
* **Private events** — cards with a lock badge are private. You can open them and read the full details like any other event, but joining requires the password the organizer shared with you. If you were invited directly, you skip the password.

<Tip>
  Spots fill fast — especially community double headers. Join early to secure your slot.
