WP Tournament Registration is a plugin that provides shortcodes intended for registering players with hobby sport events. As a matter of fact, it was made for the championship of my <a href="https://schach-goettingen.de/" rel="nofollow ugc">local chess club</a>. There are four shortcodes for different views:
<ul>
<li><code>[wptournregedit tournament_id="myID" /]</code> is an editor for the players’ data.</li>
<li><code>[wptournregexport tournament_id="myID"]...[/wptournregexport]</code> is a plain text export filter</li>
<li><code>[wptournregform tournament_id="myID"]...[/wptournregform]</code> is a form where people can register with the competition. It covers some <code>[wptournregfield field="fieldname" /]</code> shortcodes which customize the desired inputs.</li>
<li><code>[wptournreglist tournament_id="myID" /]</code> is a sortable list view of all approved participants.</li>
</ul>
All these shortcodes are customizable through a set of optional attributes.
<h4>Available fields</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>address</code> [text]: self-explanatory.</li>
<li><code>affiliation</code> [text]: club or association.</li>
<li><code>approved</code> [checkbox]: entries become visible in in the list view or through the export filter only afer approved was checked.</li>
<li><code>birthyear</code> [integer]: self-explanatory</li>
<li><code>city</code> [text]: self-explanatory.</li>
<li><code>custom1</code>, <code>custom2</code>, <code>custom3</code>, <code>custom4</code>, <code>custom5</code> [text]: if anything is missing.</li>
<li><code>email</code> [text]: comma-separated list of user names to notify of a new participant.</li>
<li><code>fee_is_paid</code> [checkbox]: self-explanatory.</li>
<li><code>firstname</code> [text]: self-explanatory.</li>
<li><code>id</code> [read-only]: an integer that serves as primary key and is incremented with every registration. Use it to separate entries if people register twice.</li>
<li><code>ip</code> [read-only]: The remote IP of the submitter through <code>wptournregform</code>. May be useful for security checks.</li>
<li><code>lastname</code> [text]: self-explanatory.</li>
<li><code>message</code> [textarea]: self-explanatory</li>
<li><code>phone1</code> [text]: self-explanatory</li>
<li><code>phone2</code> [text]: self-explanatory</li>
<li><code>postcode</code> [integer]: self-explanatory</li>
<li><code>protected</code> [checkbox]: if checked, all contact data of the particiapant are suppressed in list view.</li>
<li><code>rating1</code> [integer]: a rating that is used to calculate ranking lists.</li>
<li><code>rating2</code> [integer]: another rating that is used to calculate ranking lists.</li>
<li><code>time</code> [read-only]: a timestamp that records the exact date and time of submitting. 
It is advisable not to misuse fields since there are some internal checks on the values. Use the custom fields instead. It is hard to say what the length of input fields is in characters as this depends on what is going to. But all are of reasonable length for their purpose.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
The first example is a registration form. Several <code>wptournregfield</code> shortcodes are wrapped by a <code>wptournregfield</code> one. You can put HTML elements between (fi. fieldsets) in order to design your form:
<pre><code>[wptournregform tournament_id="my_tournament" css_id="my_tournament" email="subscription@example.com"]Red labels indicate required fields!<fieldset><legend>Who you are</legend>[wptournregfield field="lastname" label="Family name" required="1" /][wptournregfield field="firstname" label="Christian name" required="1" /][wptournregfield field="affiliation" label="Club" required="1" placeholder="or 'free agent'" /][wptournregfield field="rating1" label="DWZ" /]</fieldset><fieldset><legend>Your contact data (not to be published)</legend>[wptournregfield field="email" label="E-mail" /][wptournregfield field="phone1" label="Phone 1" required="1" /][wptournregfield field="phone2" label="Phone 2" /]</fieldset>[wptournregfield field="message" label="Your message" placeholder="Whatever you like to tell us." /][/wptournregform]
</code></pre>
The next instance is an editor for the data of the tournament. The non-approved players are highlihted in the selection list:
<pre><code>[wptournregedit tournament_id="my_tournament" display_fields="approved,firstname,lastname,affiliation,email,id,time,ip,rating1,phone1,phone2,protected,custom1,message" /]
</code></pre>
Next is a list view. Normally you will make an password restricted full list for internal use and a small one for the public. Only approved players are on view:
<pre><code>[wptournreglist tournament_id="my_tournament" display_fields="lastname,firstname,affiliation,email,phone1,phone2,message" headings="Last Name,First Name,Club,E-mail,Phone 1, Phone 2, Message" /]
</code></pre>
The next shortcode exports all participants into a csv list which than the is loaded into a tournament manager app (Swiss-Chess in this case). Here also non-approved players get exported. Wrap the field names in sections signs (<code>§</code>) in order to output the respective value.
<pre><code>[wptournregexport tournament_id="my_tournament" all="1" format='"§lastname§, §firstname§";"§affiliation§";"";"";"§rating1§";""' linebreak="1" filename="swiss-chess.txt"]Download Swiss-Chess list[/wptournregexport]
</code></pre>
The following shortcode exports a list of all approved participants who have provided you with a mail address in a way you can directly copy and paste into a mail client. See FAQ for issues with some characters!
<pre><code>[wptournregexport tournament_id="my_tournament" format='"§firstname§ §lastname§" LOWER_THAN§email§>,' fields_set="email" filename="mails.txt"]Download mail list (use BCC!)[/wptournregexport]
</code></pre>

ChessPairings — Tournament Showcase is a “showcase” plugin that integrates tournaments managed on the SaaS platform <a href="https://my.chesspairings.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">my.chesspairings.org</a> into your WordPress site.
The plugin does not manage tournaments inside WordPress: pairing generation, result entry, player management, Telegram notifications, auto-publishing to chess-results.com and everything else stays on my.chesspairings.org. The plugin simply displays your tournament data on your WP site, using native HTML that inherits your theme’s styles.
What you can do with the plugin:
<ul>
<li>Show standings with tiebreaks</li>
<li>Show pairings by round</li>
<li>Show the registered players list (or teams + roster for team tournaments)</li>
<li>Show the tournament announcement / regulations</li>
<li>Add a “Register” button linking to the online registration form</li>
<li>Publish a calendar of your tournaments or the community calendar (by federation)</li>
<li>List all your tournaments with cards — status, dates, registration button</li>
<li>Display a full tournament page with tabs (info / registered / pairings / standings)</li>
</ul>
Advantages over an iframe or a screenshot:
<ul>
<li>Native HTML that inherits the theme’s styles (fonts, colors, spacing)</li>
<li>SEO-friendly (indexable content, not in an iframe)</li>
<li>Mobile responsive by default</li>
<li>Automatic caching to avoid overloading the API (configurable 30–300s)</li>
</ul>
ChessPairings account: the plugin requires a free account on <a href="https://my.chesspairings.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">my.chesspairings.org</a> and a free API key generated from your profile. The SaaS platform is completely free.
Languages: the plugin is translated in 7 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Czech.

</ul>
All shortcodes are also available as the Gutenberg block “ChessPairings Tournament“.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the ChessPairings API (<code>my.chesspairings.org/api/v1</code>) to retrieve tournament data (standings, pairings, registered players, calendar). All API calls are made server-side from your WordPress installation — no data is sent from your visitors’ browsers.
When data is sent: every time a page containing a ChessPairings shortcode or block is loaded (subject to local caching, configurable 30–300 seconds).
What data is sent: your API key (via <code>Authorization</code> header), the requested tournament ID, and the WordPress site URL (via <code>User-Agent</code> header).
No visitor personal data (IP address, cookies, browser info) is transmitted to the service.
This service is provided by Stefano Loberti (chesspairings.org):
