Frequently Asked Questions

General​

What sports does Torneos MVP support?​

Torneos MVP supports Table Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Futsal, 7-a-side Football, Padel, Tennis, Racketball, Squash, Volleyball, and JiuJitsu.

Is Torneos MVP available in multiple languages?​

Yes. The platform is available in Spanish and English.

Can I use Torneos MVP on my phone?​

Yes. The platform is fully responsive and works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. The referee panel and live scoreboards are especially optimized for mobile use.

Do I need an account to view tournaments and rankings?​

No. Public tournaments and rankings are visible without an account. An account is only required to manage tournaments, register for competitions, or access the referee panel.

Tournaments​

Can I have multiple age groups or divisions in one tournament?​

Yes. A single tournament can have unlimited categories (called Valids), each with its own bracket, registrations, and standings. All categories run independently within the same tournament.

Can players self-register, or do I have to add them manually?​

Both options are available. You can enable self-registration with a public link, require manual approval for each registration, or add players directly yourself — or combine all approaches.

What happens if the number of players doesn't fill a bracket perfectly?​

The system automatically inserts byes (empty slots). Players with a bye advance to the next round without playing. Seeded players typically receive the byes.

Can I change results after a match is entered?​

Yes. Operators and administrators with the appropriate permissions can edit match results from the live control panel after they have been submitted.

Can I run a tournament with multiple phases (groups then knockout)?​

Yes. Each category (Valid) can have multiple phases. You can configure a group stage that feeds into a knockout bracket, a repechage bracket, or any custom combination.

Can I duplicate a tournament for a new edition?​

Yes. Use the Duplicate quick action from the tournament overview. This clones the full configuration so you only need to update the name, dates, and open registrations.

Rankings​

Do rankings update automatically?​

Yes. As soon as a match result is entered in a tournament linked to a ranking modality, the ranking updates automatically — no manual action required.

Can I run multiple ranking types at the same time?​

Yes. You can configure multiple modalities within a single ranking (e.g., ELO, points, win-ratio) and they all update independently from the same tournament results.

Can players see how their ranking points were calculated?​

Yes. The platform provides a full audit trail showing which tournaments and matches contributed to each player's points and position.

Can I freeze the ranking at the end of a season?​

Yes. The platform supports period snapshots — frozen copies of the ranking standings at a specific date. These are useful for end-of-season archives.

Streaming and Displays​

What software do I need for streaming overlays?​

Torneos MVP overlays are designed as browser sources for OBS (Open Broadcaster Software, free at obsproject.com). They work with any platform that supports browser sources, including Streamlabs and XSplit.

Do I need to refresh the overlay after each match?​

No. The overlays update automatically in real time as scores are entered.

What streaming platforms can I stream to?​

OBS can stream to any platform that accepts RTMP: YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook Live, and custom RTMP servers.

Does the display work without internet on the venue TV?​

No. The display is browser-based and requires an internet connection to receive live data from the tournament.

Referees​

Do referees need a Torneos MVP account?​

Not necessarily. Organizers can generate a unique access link for each referee that works without a login.

What if a referee loses internet during a match?​

The referee panel is designed to work offline. Scores entered without a connection are stored locally and sync automatically when the connection is restored.

Can multiple referees enter scores for the same match?​

The match is assigned to a specific referee. Only the assigned referee (or an operator with permissions) should enter or modify scores to avoid conflicting entries.

Access and Accounts​

Can I manage multiple clubs or organizations?​

Yes. Each club or organization is its own account. A single user can belong to several accounts and switch between them with the selector in the top navigation (while logged in).

How do I invite someone to manage my account?​

Go to Dashboard → Members of the org. and use Add member. Enter their email and assign a role. They will receive access when they open the invitation.

What happens if I delete an org. member?​

Their access is revoked immediately. Their historical data (matches, ranking records) is preserved.

Can I give someone access to only some areas of my account?​

Yes. The role system is fully granular — you can create roles with exactly the permissions you want, down to which areas they can view and what actions they can perform.
