Start a tournament bracket (no account needed)
beleeg_start_tournamentCreates a real standalone tournament bracket on Beleeg right away for someone who does not have a Beleeg account yet: the draw is built from the entrants you give. It is never attached to an existing league or organization. It is held for the organizer whose email you give: to take it over they open the claim_url, sign in at beleeg.com with THAT email address (email code, Google or Apple), and choose to keep it. Signing in alone does not make it theirs. Always give the person the claim_url exactly as returned (never build a link from the name) and tell them which email to sign in with. Ask the person for their email; never guess one. If Beleeg refuses, tell the person to sign in to Beleeg with that email and ask again. After signing in, the organizer is asked whether to keep the bracket or discard it; it is theirs only once they keep it. Until then nobody else can see the entrants or the draw: the bracket page only says it is waiting for its organizer. If the organizer has not kept it within 30 days, the bracket is removed. Limits: up to 64 entrants (32 for round robin); 3 per organizer email per day, 5 per caller per day, and at most 3 leagues or brackets waiting on the organizer. Tell the person what you are about to create and get a yes BEFORE calling this; there is no separate confirm step.
