Understand how each tournament format works before you compete

How BLG Hub Works

BLG Hub connects players with local gaming venues (Hubs). Hub owners create tournaments in various formats, and players register to compete.

After each match, both players submit their results. If both agree, the match is confirmed automatically. If there is a disagreement, either player can file a dispute with evidence, and hub admins resolve it.

Your trust score reflects your reliability — confirming results honestly and showing up for matches keeps it high.
