One of the most used features on Battlefy is our check in service. Players can check in with the press of a button and that status is stored on Battlefy to make seeding and drafting incredibly simple for you as an organizer! However, in-person events have additional requirements — physically being there or entry fees for example — and you might want to leave check in duties up to the staff. Today, we’ve launched our manual check in service for organizers! From the Manage section of the tournament, you’ll be able to check in (or undo the check in) for any player in your tournament.

It has been wonderful to see the positive reaction to our improvements for LAN events. Last weekend we powered the very first event to award WCS points for the 2016 Hearthstone World Championships with DreamHack Winter 2015. The talented staff took advantage of our robust Swiss system and mobile capabilities to run a smooth, in-person tournament. They finished 9 rounds of Swiss and a strong Top 16 cut over three days.
