Fees in tournaments on the iqpi.io platform — the participant’s IQPIC payment to register for an online tournament (including chess) when the organizer enabled Tournament with fee. Do not confuse with Buy-in in a rated “for money” duel, a donation to the organizer, or voluntary topping up of the prize pool.
This page is an index: settings, payment, refunds, and the organizer share are already covered in related articles.
Fee settings (organizer)
Tournament with fee flag, Fee amount, recipient (prize pool / organizer / mixed), pool “from fees only”, prize-pool funding on publication.
Where the fee goes and earnings on organizer costs:
Payment and refund (participant)
Tournament fee payment window, balance charge, refund on leaving registration or tournament cancellation, difference between “prize” / “with fee”, topping up the pool from balance.
→ Balance management — transaction history for fees and refunds
