Section 01
Payment & Registration
GRIT uses InstaPay, Egypt's instant bank transfer system. No card details are stored. Entry fees go directly to the tournament organizer and your spot is reserved the moment your payment is verified.
Step-by-step flow
Registration statuses
| Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Payment due | You registered but haven't uploaded a screenshot yet | Open your Dashboard and upload your receipt |
| Awaiting confirmation | Screenshot uploaded, organizer reviewing | Nothing to do, usually confirmed within a few hours |
| Confirmed | You're in the draw | Open the tournament page from your Dashboard to see your bracket |
| Waitlisted | Tournament full or live-day registration | Nothing to do, you'll be contacted if a spot opens |
| Cancelled | Registration was rejected or cancelled | Message the organizer via Contact for details |
Tournament live day: On the day of the event, all new registrations automatically go to the waitlist since the bracket is already drawn. If a confirmed team drops out, the organizer can pull the next waitlisted team in to replace them.
Section 02
Padel: Scoring & Points
Padel on GRIT is always doubles (2 players per team). Both players on a team earn the same points for every match. How many points depends on the tournament's type and tier, how far you go, and the result of each match.
Tournament type
Every padel tournament is Gold, Silver, or Bronze — higher types are worth more points.
| Type |
|---|
| Gold |
| Silver |
| Bronze |
Tournament tier
Every tournament also has a tier, from D (entry level) up to A (highest level). Higher tiers are worth more points.
| Tier |
|---|
| D |
| C |
| B |
| A |
Stage of the match
Later rounds are worth more than earlier ones.
| Stage |
|---|
| Group |
| Round of 16 |
| Quarter-Final |
| Semi-Final / 3rd Place |
| Final |
Match result
Winning earns more than losing, but every player on both teams earns something for every match played — there's no such thing as a zero-point result. A win is worth more the more decisively it was won.
| Result |
|---|
| Win, 6-0 / 6-1 / 6-2 |
| Win, 6-3 / 6-4 |
| Win, extended (7-5+) |
| Loss |
Team format
Padel is doubles only: teams of exactly 2 players. Both players receive the same points for every result. There is no singles format on GRIT.
Section 03
Football: Scoring & Points
Football on GRIT is team-based: squads of 5, 6, 7, or 8 players depending on what the organizer sets when creating the event. Every player in the squad earns match-result points. Individual stats (goals, assists, goalkeeper clean sheets) are tracked separately for the dedicated football leaderboards.
Match result points per player in squad
| Result | Points per player |
|---|---|
| Win | +40 per player |
| Draw | +10 per player |
| Loss | +0 |
Individual stat points
These appear on your player profile and in the Top Scorers / Top Assists leaderboards.
| Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Goal scored | +30 |
| Assist | +20 |
| Goalkeeper clean sheet | +25 |
Tournament bonuses
| Achievement | Bonus points (per player) |
|---|---|
| Tournament winner | +400 |
| Runner-up | +0 (match results only) |
Full calculation example: Football
Striker in a Tier C 5-a-side, team wins tournament:
Team format: squad sizes
| Format | Players per team | Style |
|---|---|---|
| 5-a-side | 5 players | Fast, small goals, high scoring |
| 6-a-side | 6 players | Balanced attack/defence |
| 7-a-side | 7 players | Closest to full football feel |
| 8-a-side | 8 players | Largest squad format on GRIT |
The squad size is set by the organizer when creating the event. You and your teammates all register using the team join-code system. The captain creates the team, gets the code, and shares it, and everyone else joins via that code.
Section 04
Tournament Tier Multipliers
Every tournament on GRIT has a tier, set by the organizer. Tiers determine how many points are worth playing for. A Tier D casual tournament is worth fewer ranking points than a Tier A championship.
| Tier | Difficulty |
|---|---|
| D | Easiest, open to all levels |
| C | Moderate, beginner to intermediate |
| B | Hard, intermediate to advanced |
| A | Hardest, advanced players only |
Padel and football each have their own points system, but in both, higher tiers are worth more.
