How to make an event invite only

Let only the teams or players you invite register for your event, from the General tab of its settings.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 13, 2026

In an invite-only event, only people with an invitation to the event can register themselves: creating a team, signing up as a free agent or joining a team on their own needs that invitation first. Accepting an invitation still works, and you can still add teams and players yourself.

Before you start

  • You need to manage the event.

Steps

  1. In your event’s planner, click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

  2. Open the General tab.

  3. Set Invite only to Yes.

  4. Choose the Invitation requirements:

    • All players need an invitation: every player needs their own invitation. Captains can’t add players or share a link to their team.
    • Only teams need an invitation: a team needs an invitation to register, and its captain brings players in with the team’s invitation link.

  5. Click Save All Settings Changes. The schedule isn’t affected.
