Direct invites are typically used by Organizers to invite specific teams to private tournaments or to control who can join a public tournament during the initial sign-ups period. This method ensures that only desired teams participate, often when the tournament has a limited number of slots or is by invitation only.

Option 1: Inviting Teams Directly

1. Navigate to the ADMIN tab and select the INVITES section.
2. Search for the player you wish to invite.
3. Ensure the player is the team captain of their respective team. To be able to invite a player, they must either:
   • Be a friend with the admin sending out the tournament invite,
   • Be a friend with an admin added to the Organizer page admins list,
   • Be following the Organizer page under which the tournament is hosted.
4. Send the invitation to the selected team captain.

Option 2: Sharing a Tournament Link

1. Navigate to Tournament > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Unpublish the tournament by toggling off the Publish tournament button.
3. Share the tournament link with the teams you wish to invite.
4. Once all the teams have joined, go back to the tournament settings:
   • Enable Require Invitation in the Join settings section to switch the tournament to invite-only mode.
5. Publish the tournament by toggling on the Publish tournament button.

Accepting the invitation

Once invited, the player will see a notification on the Tournaments Discovery page. The player will then be able to either open the tournament page or dismiss the invitation.
