Terms of Use
Last updated
The Short Version
- Open Tourney is free and has no ads.
- Directors are responsible for what they publish, and what they publish is public.
- Never post a child's personal information: list teams by team name only.
- We take down content that breaks these terms. Anyone can report it.
Using Open Tourney
Anyone can view a published tournament without an account. To build and run tournaments you sign in with an email address, and you must be at least 18 years old to do so. By signing in you confirm that you are. Keep access to that email account safe, because anyone who can read it can sign in as you.
What You Publish
When you publish a tournament, its page and everything on it (names, teams, schedule, scores, venues, photos, documents, rules and links) become public to anyone with the link, appear in calendar feeds and can be printed. You're responsible for it being accurate and for having the right to post it.
Don't post:
- Children's personal information: player names, rosters, ages, jersey numbers, photos of players or anything else that identifies a child.
- Anyone else's private details, such as home addresses or phone numbers, without their consent.
- Content you don't own or have permission to use.
- Anything illegal, hateful, harassing, sexual or misleading, or spam and fake tournaments.
You keep ownership of what you post. You give us permission to store it, show it on its public page, in calendar feeds and in printouts, and keep it available after the tournament ends, so families can look back at results.
Fair Use of the Service
Don't try to break, overload or get around the protections of Open Tourney, sign in as someone else, or use automated tools beyond the calendar feeds we provide. Links to GameChanger and other sites take you off Open Tourney; those sites have their own terms, and we aren't affiliated with them.
Reports and Removal
Anyone can report content that breaks these terms. We may remove content, unpublish a tournament or close an account that breaks them, and we'll tell the director when we can.
Leaving
You can download your tournaments and delete your account at any time from Account. Drafts are deleted with your account. Published tournaments stay up at their links as they were, can no longer be edited, and note that the account was closed. Our Privacy page explains what is kept and for how long.
No Guarantees
Open Tourney is provided as it is, for free. Schedules and scores are entered by tournament directors, not by us, so check with the director if something looks wrong. We work to keep the site running and your data safe, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors, and we aren't liable for losses that come from using it, as far as the law allows.
Changes to These Terms
If we change these terms, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Using Open Tourney after a change means you accept the new terms.
