Tournament Pro is a paid plan for a tournament. It is a different thing from the Pro membership on your account, which is free during the beta.
Before you start
The Subscriptions screen has two tabs:
Platform Pro - your own membership. Free during the beta. See "Free vs Pro - what is included".
Tournament Pro - a plan for a tournament. Real money.
Being a Pro member does not make your tournaments Pro, and buying Tournament Pro does not change your membership.
Read the three plans
Select Subscriptions in the sidebar, then the Tournament Pro tab.
Read the BASIC card. It is free, and it is what every tournament starts on.
Read the PRO card. It covers one tournament.
Read the ANNUAL card. It covers every tournament you run for a year.
Check the currency. The control sits beside the two tabs.
Select it to change currency. Prices are set per currency, so the number on the card changes.
What you will see
Prices at the time of writing:
Plan | Covers | GBP | EUR | USD |
Basic | Every tournament, always | Free | Free | Free |
Pro | One tournament | £19.99 | €22.99 | $24.99 |
Annual | Unlimited tournaments for a year | £215 | €248 | - |
Two lines on the PRO card are marked Coming soon - "Request joining fee" and "Registration". They are not shipped yet.
What Basic actually stops you at
The BASIC card says "Up to 5 teams". The limit Scoryboard enforces is 8. The message you get reads:
Tournament Pro is required to add more than 8 teams to a group.
There is a matching one for brackets. Treat 8 as the number that matters, and 5 as the number the card advertises.
Basic also stops you at three other places, each with its own message:
Sponsors. "Tournament Pro is required to manage sponsors."
Exporting fixtures. "Tournament Pro is required to export fixtures."
The advanced slideshow and Tournament Chat are listed on the Pro card and not on Basic.
If it does not work
The plans say FREE and you expected a price. You are on the Platform Pro tab, which is your membership. Switch to Tournament Pro.
The price is in the wrong currency. Change it with the control beside the tabs. Prices are set per currency, not converted.
You see a panel about free slots. Scoryboard has given your account free Tournament Pro. See "Free Tournament Pro slots".
You are already a Pro member and still see the 8-team limit. That is expected. Your membership and your tournament's plan are separate.
