How to use
Learn how to leverage Slowpo.ke to make hosting your tournaments easier than before.
Running a tournament
Running a tournament on Slowpo.ke can be done in two different modes.
TOM mode
In TOM (Tournament Operations Manager) mode, you can import the tournament file (.tdf) from TOM to Slowpo.ke. Slowpo.ke will then automatically display your tournament's pairings and standings.
Slowpo.ke Swiss
In Slowpo.ke Swiss mode, Slowpo.ke will independently calculate your tournament's pairings and standings. This is perfect for casual tourmaments.
Assigning decks
As the tournament creator, you can assign decks to players anytime after the tournament has been started. This adds the deck name and Pokémon sprites to the player's details.
To assign a deck, go to your tournament standings and click the icon next to a player's standing.
If a deck is less common, you can find it under the archetype "Rogue". If a player's deck is not included in the archetypes you can choose "Misc" to give the player an Unown ?.
Note that full deck lists cannot yet be assigned. The webmaster periodically updates the deck choices to include common and rogue decks.
Deck visibility
Deck visibility controls when decks are publically displayed in your tournament. There are 3 modes of deck visibility available. These can be selected while you are creating your tournament or any time thereafter in your tournament panel under Actions > Edit tournament.
-
After tournament (default)
Decks will only be shown to players after the tournament's has been concluded.
In TOM mode a tournament is ended automatically based on the tournament file. In Slowpo.ke Swiss mode a tournament has to be manually concluded under Actions > End tournament.
-

Decks will be publically shown at all times.
-
Never

Viewing player stats
Click on a player's name in the pairings or standings to view that player's stats.
Players' names on the pairings are not clickable when you you are entering results to prevent missclicks.
