What are the registration statuses?

In the MartialMatch system, each registered competitor can be in one of several registration statuses. Each of these statuses has its own meaning and affects what happens to the competitor in the system. Below is a detailed description of each of them:

🟡 Disqualification due to payment

This is the default status in which a competitor is placed after registration. The competitor may appear on the start lists depending on the option chosen by the organizer. Such a competitor will not proceed to the brackets.

🔵 Candidate

Next status is candidate. Registration in this status causes the competitor to appear in the brackets and on the fight lists.

• Organizer can manually approve the competitor as a "candidate".
• If the competition has online payment integration enabled, the competitor will be automatically approved as a "candidate" after making the payment.
• This allows the competitor to appear at the event. On the scoreboards, such a competitor will be displayed as unverified, which means that the fight cannot start, and the timer on the scoreboard cannot be started.
• If the fight is completed despite this, the other verified competitor simply proceeds.
• Such a fight is not included in the rankings.
• The unverified status does not entitle the competitor to receive a medal or be included in the competition results (e.g., through an automatic loss when there are 2 people in the category).
• On the fight lists, such a competitor is marked as Unverified.

🟢 Verified

After successfully passing the verification, the competitor can proceed to the fight. On the fight lists, this can be recognized by the absence of any markings next to the competitor.

🔴 Disqualified

If the competitor does not pass the verification stage during the competition, e.g., due to lack of appropriate weight or required documents, their status changes to disqualified.

• Such a competitor cannot proceed to the fight and is not included in the competition results.
• The fight with a disqualified competitor on the scoreboards cannot be started, and the timer cannot be started.
• The wins against a disqualified competitor are not included in the rankings.

⚫ Disciplinary DQ

If a verified competitor misbehaves during the event, e.g., insults referees or makes obscene gestures, the organizer can take their medal away by setting the status Disciplinary DQ. A verified competitor with played fights cannot be unverified, so this status exists for exactly that case.

• Only a full organizer can set it, and only for a verified registration. Staff with the verification desk bundle cannot.
• It applies to a single registration. If the competitor is registered in several categories, set it in each of them separately.
• It can be set at any time, also when the competitor still has unplayed fights. Referees then pick the other competitor as the winner, as for any unverified competitor.
• Such a competitor does not receive a medal and is not included in the competition results. The place they vacate stays empty: the next competitor is not moved up.
• Fights are not deleted, but the competitor's fights and the wins against them are not included in record profiles and rankings.
• A full organizer can revoke it at any time. The registration then returns to Verified and the medal comes back.

How to set and revoke it is described in How does competitor verification work?.
