Create a Project

Learn how to create a new project, which is the top-level container for your tournaments, team members, circuits, and financials.

A project is the organizational unit that holds everything related to your competitive program — tournaments, team members, circuits, financials, and communication. You create one project per organization or program, then build everything else inside it.

Where to find it

Projects → Create project

Step by step

  1. Open the Projects section from the main navigation.
  2. Click Create project in the top-right corner.
  3. Enter a project name. Choose something that reflects your organization or program (e.g., "Apex Legends EMEA Open").
  4. Optionally add a description to give your team context about the project's purpose.
  5. Choose a project type: Esports Platform, Rental Service, Coaching Academy, Cloud Gaming, or Marketplace. This sets the default experience type, theme, and feature focus for the project — Esports Platform is selected by default, but you can pick the option that best matches your program. You can adjust related settings later.
  6. Select a plan. Free and paid tiers are listed with their monthly tournament limits and included features (such as custom branding, developer API access, or priority support).
  7. Optionally check Populate with demo data to add sample teams, tournaments, and matches so you can explore the dashboard before setting up your own data.
  8. Click Create Project to finish. If you selected a paid plan, the button instead reads Continue to payment — you'll be redirected to secure checkout, and the project is created and activated once payment completes.

What happens next
