Help: Tournaments

Entry fees

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.
