Payment Processing Requirement
Payment processing through Stripe is mandatory for any tournament that collects entry fees. This is not optional - you must configure Stripe before creating paid tournaments.
Browser Compatibility
The platform works with modern web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Organization Structure
The platform is designed for dance organizations, schools, and independent tournament organizers.
Critical: Stripe payment configuration must be completed before creating any paid tournaments. The system will not allow fee collection without proper Stripe setup.
