## 👤  **HOW TO REGISTER**

1. After creating an account, click Join Tournament above.

2. Fill out the registration questionnaire, which includes the name of your chosen charity. Your placement in the event will affect how much of the donation pool will go to your chosen charity. The organization you choose must be listed as an Organization available for a campaign on **[Tiltify](https://tiltify.com/explore)**. Anyone an invalid response for their chosen charity will represent the default charity for the event: **[The Hunger Project](https://thp.org/)**.

3. Then **[Join our Discord Server](https://discord.gg/KhmrzTkfPm)**. You will need to verify your Discord Server membership with a specific role. Navigate to the first pinned message in the #❤dueling-for-dollars-2023 channel, and click the ❤ reaction to earn the role. Without earning the "Dueling for Dollars 2023" role, you will be missing from the list of players, and will be dropped from the event.

4. Lastly, head to your **[Account Settings](https://communitygaming.io/editUser)** and add your Super Auto Pets username in the 'Platform Links' tab. This will make it much easier for players to verify the right person joined the lobby. It will also greatly help staff and coverage.

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE 12 HOURS PRIOR TO EVENT START TIME. This is to allow me enough time to reconcile the signups here and in the discord. If you would like to play, please register before December 1st 8:00 PM PST.

## 👤  **Check-In**

We will be using the Check-In feature for this event. This double opt-in feature helps ensure that people who signed up a month ago didn't forget and are still available.

Players that fail to Check-In will be dropped from the event.

Check-In will open 24 hours in advance prior to the start of the tournament. You can return to this page at any time during that window and click the Check-In button.
