# Tournament Feeds

**Tournament Feeds** allow players and organizers to communicate within a dedicated discussion space for a specific tournament. These feeds make it easy to ask questions, share updates, coordinate logistics, and collaborate with everyone involved in the event.

Each tournament can have its own discussion group where organizers and participants can create posts, comment on topics, and share media depending on the permissions set by the organizer.

## How Organizers Post in the Discussion Feed

Organizers interact with the feed through their **Organizer account**, not their player profile.

#### Steps

1. Go to **Run a Tournament**.
2. Select your tournament.
3. Click **Discussion**.

Posts made here will appear as coming from the **tournament organizer**, not from your personal player profile.

This allows organizers to post official updates, announcements, and responses for the event.\ <br>
