Verification of competitors during tournaments

During tournaments, it is essential to verify each competitor before they can compete. The MartialMatch system provides a simple verification module that allows you to confirm whether a competitor is eligible to participate. The criteria for verification are determined by the tournament organizer, typically including checks on the competitor's weight, medical documentation, or insurance.

🔍 Navigate to the verification page

Aby zacząć weryfikację zawodników, przejdź do sekcji Weryfikacja zawodników pod menu Zawodnicy w panelu organizatora. Ta sekcja jest podzielona na trzy zakładki:

In order to start verifying competitors, go to the Competitor Verification section under the Competitors menu in the organizer panel. This section is divided into three tabs:

• Fights queue - shows competitors who require verification first, meaning those who have a fight scheduled soon.
• Full list - contains all registered competitors, their statuses, and allows for verification. You can also use the search function to quickly find a specific competitor.
• History - allows you to view all previous verifications.

✅ How to confirm a competitor?

No matter which tab you are using, next to each competitor in the table there is an Edit button. Clicking it will open the following window:

• After clicking Verify, the competitor will receive the status Verified (no color markings on fight lists).
• After clicking Disqualify, the competitor will receive the status Disqualified 🟡. This will be indicated by a yellow label on scoreboards and fight lists.

If we want to reverse our decision, we can do so at any time by returning to the competitor and clicking: Undo verification/disqualification.

Assigning a spot to a competitor (optional)

🤼‍♂️ Option is only available for wrestling tournaments.

If we are conducting wrestling tournaments through the system, during verification, we can additionally assign a competitor to a spot that will later be used for drawing in the bracket.

Usually, this is organized so that competitors draw a number during weigh-in. Then, in the field on the right side, we enter the drawn number (from 0 to 1000).

After confirming the entire category and proceeding to bracket drawing, the system will arrange competitors in order of their numbers.

👥 Competitor statuses

On the verification list, the statuses used by the system are reflected, marked with appropriate colors. You can read more about competitor/registration statuses here.

⏳ Blocking early verification

To prevent competitors from being verified too early, the system allows you to set a time before the competitor's scheduled fight during which they can be verified. When you click the Block early verifications button, a window will appear where you can enable/disable the option and specify the time in minutes:

For example, entering 120 minutes means that the competitor can be verified no earlier than 2 hours before their first scheduled fight.

⚠️ Automatic disqualification of unverified competitors

The MartialMatch system also allows for the automatic disqualification of all competitors in a category that is starting. This option helps clearly define the status of competitors when fights in that category begin, saving time and avoiding calling unverified competitors to the mat.

• This option is OFF by default.
• It can only be enabled by a full tournament organizer.

The automatic disqualification is activated when the first fight in the category is displayed on the scoreboard. All competitors with the status Unverified 🔴 will transition to the status Disqualified 🟡.
