Tournament States

When working with our API, you’ll notice that each tournament has a state attribute.
States prior to starting a tournament:
pending - still adding participants, changing the format, setting rules, etc.
checking_in - if the participant check-in option is enabled, this is the period when participants are permitted to check in
checked_in - if the participant check-in option is enabled, this is the period after check-in results have been processed
accepting_predictions - if the bracket prediction option is enabled, this is the period when people can submit their predictions
States once a tournament is started:
group_stages_underway - for 2-stage tournaments, this is the period when the group stage is being played
group_stages_finalized - for 2-stage tournaments, this is the period when the group stage is completed, but the final stage hasn't been started
underway - the final stage of the tournament is underway
awaiting_review - all results have been reported and can be reviewed and edited if needed
States once a tournament is ended:
complete
