Members and users
Magic TD keeps track of both
members and
users.
Those are not necessarily the same thing.
Members come from partner federations. Members
have member numbers (=
MID in Magic TD), as well
as email addresses, if available.
Users are identified by a unique email address.
The top right
Log in button allows you to log in,
or sign up as a new user.
Upon logging or signing up, member and user email
addresses are compared, regardless of federations.
A connection is made if they are the same. This
allows users to sign up for new events and easily
view their own results in played events.
Another use of this connection comes with reports
to the federation, which enables calculating master
points, rating and handicap. Users without
connections cannot be identified by the federation.
This
email-to-mid connection allows you to use
just one Magic TD login, and later select the
active federation. Maybe you usually play in Sweden,
but on summer holidays close to the North pole,
choose to use your Norwegian membership at the
local club.
A user without
email-to-mid connections cannot
play in events. If so, you need a temporary
membership, which can be issued by the event admin.
If the automatic
email-to-mid connection fails,
please contact your federation admin, who can
create the connection manually. One reason could
of course be that you use different email addresses
in Magic TD and your federation database.
To round off, you do not have to be a member of any
federation to work as a tournament director in Magic
TD. Sign up as a new user with an email address not
used in any federation. User rights, assigned by an
admin, will now allow you to work in events.
