# 1. Account Setup

## Access & Setup

**Do this at least 8 weeks before your event:**

1. Email <info@padelusa.org> & <tduspa@worldpadelrating.com> with:
   * **Your tournament poster**, following guidelines (<https://padelusa.org/flier/>): 1200 x 1700 (horizontal x vertical) with 100 pixel border zone at top & bottom, required USPA sponsor logos, etc.
   * **Name(s) & email(s)** of any club staff who need TMS access.
2. \*Connect your Stripe account to the TMS, and email [info@padelusa.org](#access-and-setup) & [tduspa@worldpadelrating.com](#access-and-setup) to notify when done. (\*Required only once, for the first tournament you run.):
   * A **Stripe OAuth connection link** will be sent to you via email. The link expires, so please complete the following **ASAP**.
   * Copy-and-paste the link into a web browser on a desktop.
   * On the link's login/sign-up page: If your club already has a Stripe account, log in using those details. If you do not, you will need to create one then log in (currently Stripe is the only payment processor supported by the TMS.) To complete the Stripe account connection to your TMS account, you will need the Stripe email, password, SSN or EIN, and possibly bank details (including the business address on file with Stripe). If you need someone else at the club to connect the Stripe account such as the owner or accountant, then forward them this email and follow up with them.
   * When Stripe prompts you, grant access to the TMS platform.
   * Reply-all to the email including [info@padelusa.org](/docs/training-resources/draws/single-elimination.md) & [tduspa@worldpadelrating.com](#access-and-setup) to notify when done.
3. \*Receive via email and test **login credentials** for [manager.tournated.com](https://manager.tournated.com). (\*Required only once, for the first tournament you run.)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uspa-wpr.gitbook.io/docs/instructions/account-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
