You can also refer to the My Events page to see any events you have joined, whether they are in-progress, completed, or upcoming.
Important Note
Replies to the registration email will go to Carde.io support ([email protected]), and while we can assist with any technical issues or general questions about the site, we cannot directly contact the store nor do we have information about how any specific store is running their event, details about their location, prizing, delays, cancellations, refunds or payments, etc.
If you'd like to get in touch with the store hosting the event, you can follow these steps to locate their public contact information:
Click the link in the email to open the event page
Click on the store's name at the top of the page
Scroll down to the Store Information section to view the store's phone number or email address
Once you have located the store's contact information, you can reach out to them directly with any questions about the event.

Before the Event
Deck Submission
To submit a deck for an event:
In the Deck Submission section, click New Deck
In the Submit Your Deck pop-up, select Create New Deck or Paste Full Text
When you've finished inputting your deck, click Submit Deck
After you've submitted your deck, you can click View/Edit to edit the deck or New Deck to submit a new deck to overwrite the existing one
If the Tournament Organizer sets up a specific window for decklist submissions, they can also enable the option to Allow Late Submissions after that window has closed. If this is the case, you will see a notice that submissions are closed and your decklist will be marked as late.
If you do submit a late decklist, you will see the Late flag on the event page as well:
Note: There are no intrinsic penalties for submitting a late deck. The Late flag simply lets organizers know whether or not a deck was submitted or edited after the deadline.
Check-in
If check-in is required for an event, you will see a Check-in Required indicator in the right corner below the Join and Drop buttons.
Some stores may enable the option to require players to enter a Check-in Code in order to check in for the event.
If you see a banner on the event page that says "Please check in to this event to play" with an "Enter Check-in Code" field, look for the code at the location or ask a Tournament Organizer for the code. Once you have the code, type it in and click the Check In button.
Tournament Organizers also have the option to make check-in by organizer only, in which case someone at the event would check you in manually. Additionally, some events may not require check-in at all.
Once you have checked in to the event, the Check-in Required indicator below the Join and Drop buttons will change to Checked in.
Fixed Seat
If you require fixed seating for the event, notify the Tournament Organizer and they can assign you a fixed seat. After they have assigned you a fixed seat, your table number will display in the upper right corner below the drop button:

Pairing
When the Tournament Organizer starts the event, the event page will display a banner that says, "Waiting for Round 1 pairings to be finalized..."
After the Tournament Organizer finalizes the pairings, you will see the player you are paired against and which table you are playing at, as well as the other pairings in the round.
Pairing Notifications
When pairings are published, you will also receive a notification with information regarding your current pairing. You can view these event notifications through the Notification Center. To do so, click the bell icon next to your name in the top right to open the notification panel and view recent alerts:
Submit Results
Once you have been paired, it's time to play!
When you're ready to submit your round results:
Click the + Add Results button
In the Report Results pop-up, click on the name of the player who won each round or select Tie
Once you've selected the results, click Submit Results
As the other players finish their rounds, you will see the match results reflected on the event page. You can also view the timer for the round on the left side.
When all players have submitted their results, the Tournament Organizer will progress the event to the next round.
Note: If you have any trouble submitting your results, notify the Tournament Organizer and they can submit the results through the Admin Dashboard instead.
