**Organizer Credits** are a tool within **Scoreholio Seasons** that allows the **Season Manager** to charge a fee for submitting a tournament to the season.

* **Organizer Levels Access**: You can assign specific **Organizer Levels** to different credit packages. This allows control over who can see or buy which packages.

  ```

* **Submission Restrictions**:
  * Organizers **must have enough credits** to submit a tournament (unless negative submissions are allowed).
  * Toggle **“Allow Organizers to have a negative balance”** in the **Season Setup** to let organizers submit even if they don’t currently have enough credits.

### 🛒 How Organizers Purchase Credits

Organizers purchase credits via the **Tournament Admin**, in the same area where they submit tournaments to the season.

If an organizer doesn’t have enough credits, they’ll be prompted to purchase a credit package before submission.

### 💰 Fee Breakdown for Credit Purchases

Whenever an organizer purchases credits, the total cost includes:

| **Fee Type**          | **Details**                                         |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Payment Processor** | Stripe or PayPal fees                               |
| **Scoreholio Fee**    | 5% of the purchase amount (minimum $2 per purchase) |

> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Create **larger credit packages** to minimize the per-credit cost. Smaller transactions can result in higher fees relative to the value purchased.
