How Tourney Direct Works
Tourney Direct handles everything that happens after registration closes—so staffing, paperwork, and payments don’t turn into a scramble.
Running an Event Means Managing the Messy Middle
Once teams are registered, the real work begins:

Finding the right people to staff the event with
Making sure they're cleared and confirmed
Paying everyone correctly and on time
Tourney Direct replaces that with one system that runs the back office of your event from start to finish.
Everything the Back Office Includes
Staffing
Find, schedule, and manage the people who run your event.
Tourney Direct replaces recruiting, assignments, scheduling, confirmations, and no-show tracking with one clear workflow—so you always know where things stand.
For repeat events, Tourney Direct uses details from past events to help you staff faster and with less effort.
Compliance
Forms, documentation, and requirements—handled.
Staff don’t re-upload paperwork for every tournament, and you always know who is cleared to work. W-9s, certifications, background checks, record keeping, and 1099s are managed in one place—so there’s no chasing paperwork, no year-end scramble, and no guessing.
Money
Pay staff accurately and on time—without the headache.
Stipends, payments, tracking, and tax reporting are handled in one place, so everyone knows what they’re owed and when they’ll be paid. Payments, tax forms, and payout history are managed automatically inside the platform—no manual tracking or follow-up required.
What It Looks Like in Practice

From sign-up to payout, Tourney Direct handles the back office so you don’t have to.
