How Starfire Works
A transparent, governance-driven tournament system — from the moment you register to the moment your champion record is permanently archived.
Your Journey from Registration to Champion
Create Your Free Account
Register on Starfire with your email. Set your in-game username for each game you compete in. Your profile is your competitive home — it stores your full tournament history, badges, and ranking across all seasons.
Browse Open Competitions
Visit the Competitions page to see all open, upcoming, and live tournaments across BGMI, MLBB, Free Fire, Clash Royale, Chess, and more. Filter by game, format, skill level, and region to find the right bracket for you.
Register Your Team or Solo Entry
Team-based competitions: register your roster through username invitations — all teammates confirm participation. Solo competitions: register directly. Roster locks apply 48 hours before start.
Receive Match Access
Starfire distributes custom room codes, challenge links, or match IDs directly through your competition dashboard — no third-party apps required. Access is distributed 15 minutes before scheduled match time.
Play and Submit Results
Compete according to the posted rules. After each match or game within a series, submit your result (screenshot of final score/board) through the match result form. Both parties confirm for automatic scoreboard update.
Live Leaderboard Updates
The competition leaderboard updates in real-time as results are verified. Track your standing, your opponents' progress, and the full bracket live throughout the tournament day.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes filed within the posted window (typically 2 hours of match completion) are reviewed by Starfire administration. Evidence — recordings, screenshots, in-game logs — is evaluated by a neutral panel. Outcomes are final and documented.
Recognition and Ranking
Champions and high-placing participants receive permanent badges on their profiles. Rank points are awarded based on tournament tier and placement. Your competitive record is permanently archived — it grows with each season.

// Integrity Protocols
Fairness and Verification
Competitive credibility requires verifiable outcomes. Starfire applies anti-cheat and verification protocols appropriate to each game and tier.
Screen Recording
Top finishers in Standard+ brackets are required to submit screen recordings. This is the baseline proof layer for all claim disputes.
Anti-Smurf Checks
Account age, in-game rank history, and device correlation checks prevent new accounts from masking elite-level players in lower brackets.
Human Dispute Review
Every disputed match is reviewed by a human administration panel — not an automated system. Evidence is examined and decisions are documented.
Rank Verification
In-game rank screenshots or profile URLs verified by admins before Standard and Premier bracket entry — no self-reported rank inflation.
Engine/Cheat Detection
Chess matches use Fair Play analysis. FPS games use native anti-cheat (Vanguard, GPC). Mobile games use recording-based behavior review.
Permanent Record
Every match result — win, loss, or disqualification — is permanently archived on player profiles. This creates accountable competitive identity.
