## Invite Only

Invite Only works exactly how it sounds. Only players on the list are allowed to register for the tournament.

This is perfect for:

* Private tournaments
* Members-only events
* League finals
* Early access registration

You can also assign discounts to players on the Invite Only list when using PRE-Pay registration.

> **IMPORTANT:**\
> If Invite Only is enabled, you cannot also enable Exclusion List or VIP List for the same tournament.

***

## Exclusion List

The Exclusion List blocks specific players from registering for the tournament.

Everyone NOT on the list is still allowed to register normally.

This is useful for:

* Banning problematic players
* Restricting certain skill levels
* Private club restrictions

***

## VIP List

The VIP List allows organizers to assign discounts to specific players during PRE-Pay registration.

This is perfect for:

* Sponsors
* Club members
* Staff
* Returning champions
* Special promotions

VIP discounts only work when PRE-Pay is enabled for the tournament.
