What if tournament organizers want to ensure only players from a specific region or country can join their tournament? Battlefy’s Region Locking feature is the solution. With geolocation, Battlefy can see players’ location when they log onto Battlefy. If they are not within the designated eligible territory, they won’t be able to join.
In the Settings tab of the tournament Setup section, an organizer enables “Specific Regions” under the ADVANCED FIELDS section and selects the eligible countries for the tournament.
After selecting the countries, Battlefy will automatically insert a line of text in the tournament Rules tab stating which countries are eligible to register for the tournament.
It’s important to note that no geolocation feature is foolproof, as there are existing technologies which allow players to spoof their locations. If you have any questions about Region Locking, email us. Check out our YouTube video on the feature here.
