## How hosting works

- An organizer creates a free community on Nameless Arena, then creates tournaments or leagues inside it.
- Players sign up with one free account, register (solo or with a team), check in and play their matches in match rooms; scores and standings update live.
- Events can be imported from start.gg and kept in sync.
- Owners and admins manage everything, managers run events, and coaches look after their own teams.
- Broadcast Studio can pull the same bracket and match data into stream graphics, so nobody types scores twice.
