How Arrabal works: who is who, what each person can do and how things get done.

What Arrabal is

A platform for federated esports. Each organization is a node in a tree: the federation at the top and, below it, associations, leagues, clubs and organizers. From a node you see and manage what is below it, never what is above or beside it.

Confederation No organizations below.
Federation Can have below: Provincial association, League, Club, Organizer, University, Brand, School
Provincial association Can have below: League, Club, Organizer, University, School
League Can have below: Club
Club No organizations below.
Organizer No organizations below.
University No organizations below.
Brand No organizations below.
School No organizations below.

Types of user

One person can be several at once: for example, a registered player who is also her team's captain.

Visitor: No account. Reads the organization's website, the tournaments with their bracket and results, and checks a license with its QR.
Registered person: Has a profile with an Esports ID, the number that identifies them across the federation. Signs in with their email, sees their profile and licenses, pays for them and adds game accounts.
Guardian of a minor: Gives consent for a minor in their care to play, from the link that arrives by email, without creating an account.
Captain: Registers the team for tournaments, checks in and reports or confirms results.; Role: Captain
Official or referee: Assigned per tournament by Esports ID. Settles disputes, sets results with a reason and awards a walkover when a team doesn't show up.; Role: Referee
Staff: Does the node's daily work: registry, licenses, tournaments, teams and website. Doesn't assign roles or handle payments.; Role: Staff
Finance: Sees payment orders, connects the payout account and reconciles bank transfers. Doesn't touch the registry or tournaments.; Role: Finance
Node admin: Can do everything in their organization and those below: what staff and finance do, plus assigning roles, adding organizations and editing the node's details.; Role: Administration

Step-by-step guides

Sign in with the email link

Tap Sign in, at the top, and type your email.
Tap Email me the link: the email arrives within a minute.
Open the link on the same phone or computer where you asked for it.
If it says the link doesn't work, ask for another one: each link works only once.

Claim your profile or affiliate your organization

If your club already added you, sign in and go to My profile.
Type your Esports ID and your ID number, or look the profile up by your email.
If you got an invitation by email, tap Accept and sign in: the profile becomes yours.
To affiliate a club or a league, fill in the website's affiliation form. Once it's approved, you get an email to open the panel.

Register a team for a tournament

Open the tournament on the website while registration is open.
Sign in: you see the teams you can register. A team is registered by its captain or its club.
Tap Register. If someone is missing something (license, age, club), it says so right there.
The registration stays pending until the organizer accepts it.

Check in

When the organizer opens check-in, go to the tournament page.
Tap Check in on your team.
A team that doesn't check in before it closes is left out of the bracket.

Report and confirm a result

Open your match from the tournament bracket.
Enter each side's score and upload at least one screenshot or photo of the final screen.
Tap Report result. Your opponent sees it with your evidence.
Your opponent taps Confirm result and the winner moves on in the bracket.

Dispute a result

If your opponent reported something wrong, open I don't agree on the match.
Write the reason, upload your evidence and tap Dispute result.
The tournament referee checks both sides' evidence and sets the result with a reason, or awards a walkover if a team didn't show up.
Their decision is logged; if needed, they can reverse it with a reason.

Collect license payments

In the panel, go to Payments and then Payout account: connect Mercado Pago or enter the bank details for transfers.
Whoever has a pending license pays it from their profile; the order shows up in Payments.
If they paid by bank transfer, check the receipt and tap Mark as paid.

Pay for your license

Sign in and go to My profile: the pending license has the payment buttons.
Tap Pay with Mercado Pago, or Pay by bank transfer and upload the receipt with the reference.
Once the payment clears, the license becomes active with its QR and you get the receipt by email.

Edit the website

In the panel, go to Website: you see the pages with their status, Published or Draft.
Tap Edit: add, reorder or hide blocks and fill in the text in each language.
Tap Preview before publishing.
Tap Publish. News, officials, documents and sponsors are managed from the same section.
