| Q. |
How do I enter a tournament?: |
| A. |
- Entering tournaments is easy. To do so, refer to the "view latest tournament information" which is located on the Tournaments main page. Here you select either Tournament Lobby Events or Elite Lobby Events depending on which type of tournament you wish to enter. Once you're at the "Events" page you will see all current and upcoming tournament events at the top of the page and all completed tournament events below. Select an event that you wish to enter and click on the "ENTER" button at the right. This will take you to a page were you can enter your iPool "Username" and "Password" and then click the "Enter Tournament" tournament button, to the right, to enter the tournament event. You are now entered in the event you have chosen. You will then have to proceed to the correct lobby hosting the event at the correct time in order to participate.
- You can also enter tournaments by using the "TOURNAMENTS" button at the top of the main window in the iPool program and following the same steps as above.

How can I find out who I will be playing?: |

You may also request the link to the "Standings Page" in the main tournament lobby.
