​
First of all: a complete profile

Entries are only accepted with a complete profile — including gender, date of birth, and phone — and with your level rated in every sport you added. The competition’s sport also has to be on your profile. It is the number-one reason for “the Join button does nothing”.

​
How to enter

1

Find the competition

Through search, through the “Near you” showcase, or through the link the organizer sent.
2

Tap Join

Pick the division, if there is more than one.
3

Most of the time, you are already in

Your entry goes straight to Awaiting start. If the division is full, you sit Next in line.
You only land on Requested, waiting for the organizer to accept, when they turn off automatic approval or when entry is paid by Pix arranged outside the app.

​
Your entry’s states

Awaiting start · Next in line · Requested · Active · Suspended · Declined.
A request still Requested when the round starts does not make it into that round. If the organizer approves by hand, do not leave it to the last minute.
The organizer receives the money, not Matchely — they are the seller and the one responsible for the competition.
  • In Brazil, payment happens inside the app: Pix or card. Your spot is confirmed as soon as the payment is recognized.
  • There may be price tiers (the price rises as the date approaches) and discounts.
  • Pix arranged outside the app: you pay the organizer directly and they approve your entry. There is no “I paid” button and no receipt upload — keep yours.

Organizer invitations

They can also invite you. An invitation banner appears and you decide — nobody joins a competition without agreeing to it.

​
Leaving, or skipping a round

  • Skip next round — you stay in the competition but sit the next one out. Useful for travel or injury.
  • Leave the competition — asks for a reason, closes your pending matches and chats, and cannot be undone. Matches already played stay in your history.
