Question 1

What is SpawnPoint?

Accepted Answer

SpawnPoint is your hub for gaming communities. It’s a platform where you can find players who share your passion, join local or global communities, build teams, and take part in competitions and events — whether you play casually or competitively. No matter the game or your skill level, SpawnPoint helps you connect, play, and grow together.

Question 2

Is SpawnPoint free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SpawnPoint is completely free to use. You can create an account, join communities, find teammates, take part in events, and connect with other gamers at no cost. We may introduce some paid features in the future, but if we ever do, we’ll let you know well in advance.

Question 3

What games are supported?

Accepted Answer

SpawnPoint is game-agnostic, so any gaming community is welcome regardless of the title they play. We’re not limited to online games either — we can support any type of game, including board games, if there’s enough demand for it. If you feel a game is missing, contact us, and we’ll add it as soon as we can.

Question 4

Do I need an account to browse?

Accepted Answer

You can explore public communities, events, and news without an account. To join a community, find teammates, sign up for events, or chat with other players, you’ll need to create a free account.

Question 5

Which languages and regions does SpawnPoint support?

Accepted Answer

SpawnPoint works anywhere, but our focus is Europe first — that’s where we’re concentrating our communities, language support, and features to start. You can already discover communities both near you and around the world, and we’ll expand to better support other continents over time.

Accepted Answer

Go to your profile and select "Edit Profile". You can update your nickname, avatar, bio, the games you play, and other details so the right players and communities can find you.

Question 11

How do I connect my game accounts?

Accepted Answer

From Edit Profile, link the in-game accounts for the titles you play. For supported games you can connect through the game’s official sign-in, which verifies that the account is yours and keeps details like your rank up to date automatically. Verified accounts help teams and communities trust your profile when recruiting.

Question 12

Can I link my social accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect platforms such as Discord, Twitch, X (Twitter), and YouTube to your profile so teammates and communities can reach you and follow your content.

I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

Accepted Answer

On the sign-in screen, choose "Forgot Password" and enter your email address. We’ll send you a link to set a new password. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder. If you registered with Discord, simply sign in with Discord again.

Question 14

Can I change my nickname?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your nickname can be updated from the Edit Profile page. It’s how other players recognise you across communities, teams, and events.

Question 15

Who can see my profile information?

Accepted Answer

By default your profile is visible to other signed-in users. You can adjust your privacy settings to control who sees details such as your linked game accounts, contact information, and availability.

Question 16

How do I manage my notification preferences?

Accepted Answer

Open your notification settings to choose which updates you receive — such as team invites, event reminders, community announcements, and chat messages — and whether they arrive in-app, by email, or both.

Question 17

How is my personal data handled?

Accepted Answer

We take your privacy seriously and only use your data to run the platform and improve your experience. Game-account connections use the game’s official sign-in, so your game passwords are never shared with us. Full details are in our Privacy Policy, available from the site footer.

Question 18

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

You can request account deletion through our Contact page or on our Discord server. We’ll remove your personal data in line with our Privacy Policy. Note that some content you contributed to communities may remain unless you remove it first.

Browse the Communities page, open a community that matches your interests, and click "Join". You’ll instantly become a member and gain access to its events, news, teams, and leaderboards.

Can I be part of multiple communities?

Accepted Answer

Yes — there’s no limit. Join as many communities as you like, whether they’re online groups, game-specific hubs, or local communities near you.

Question 21

What is a community on SpawnPoint?

Accepted Answer

A community is usually an online group of gamers who share an interest — a game, a region, or just a love of playing together. Members get access to the community’s events, news, teams, and leaderboards, all in one place.

Question 22

How do I find communities to join?

Browse the Communities page to explore groups by game and type. Many communities are online and open to anyone, and you can use the interactive map and location filters to discover ones based near you as well.

Question 23

Question 24

How do I manage my community?

Accepted Answer

Community admins and moderators have a dedicated dashboard to manage members, events, news, teams, and leaderboards. Open your community and select the dashboard or "Manage Community" to access these tools.

Question 25

How do I report inappropriate behaviour?

Accepted Answer

Each community has its own moderation team. Report issues directly to the community’s moderators or admins. For platform-wide concerns, contact us through our Contact page or on Discord.

Question 26

How do I leave a community?

Accepted Answer

Open the community’s page and choose to leave. You can rejoin later at any time if the community is open to new members.

Question 27

What are the different types of communities?

Accepted Answer

There are three types of communities on SpawnPoint. A Community is a casual online group of players around a shared game — anyone can join or apply and no formal structure is required. An Organisation is a more structured entity such as an esports club or gaming brand that typically has staff and management roles and represents itself publicly. An Association is a student association centered around gaming or esports, typically tied to a school or university.

Question 28

How do I find teammates?

Accepted Answer

Use the Team Finder to discover players looking for a team, and our matchmaking recommendations to surface players who match your games, goals, and skill level. You can also meet potential teammates inside the communities you join.

Question 29

How does matchmaking work?

Accepted Answer

Our recommendation system suggests players and communities based on the games you play, your goals, and your activity on the platform. The more complete your profile, the better the matches.

Question 30

Can I filter players by game, rank, or role?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Team Finder lets you filter by game, rank range, preferred role, region, and availability so the results fit your skill level and schedule.

Question 31

What are tags and how do I use them?

Accepted Answer

Tags describe your playstyle and goals — for example "ranked grinder", "casual", "tournament-ready", or specific roles. Adding tags to your profile sharpens your matchmaking recommendations and helps the right teams find you.

Question 32

How do I create a team?

Accepted Answer

Teams are created for a competition, and only while that competition is in its preparation phase — that is, before the registration deadline. Once registration closes, team creation for that competition is no longer available, so be sure to set your team up in time.

Question 33

Can I edit my team after creating it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Team owners can edit team details and manage the roster from the team’s edit page — update the name, description, and members as your team evolves.

Question 34

What is the LFT image maker?

Accepted Answer

The "Looking For Team" (LFT) image maker lets you create a shareable graphic advertising that you’re searching for a team. Share it in communities or on social media to attract the right players.

Question 35

What is a vacancy?

Accepted Answer

A vacancy is an open spot a team or community is recruiting for. It usually lists the game, the role needed, the required rank or experience, and how to apply.

Question 36

How do I find open vacancies?

Accepted Answer

Browse the Vacancies page and filter by game, role, rank, and region to find openings that match you. You can also discover vacancies directly from a community’s page.

Question 37

How do I post a vacancy for my team or community?

Accepted Answer

If you manage a team or community, open its page and create a vacancy describing the role, requirements, and how players should apply. Applicants can then reach out or apply through the platform.

Question 38

How do I apply to a vacancy?

Accepted Answer

Open the vacancy and use the apply or contact option to send your interest. Make sure your profile and game accounts are up to date so recruiters can evaluate you quickly.

Question 39

How do I find events and tournaments?

Accepted Answer

Browse the Competitions page for tournaments and the Calendar for upcoming events. You’ll also find events hosted by the communities you’ve joined.

Question 40

How do I sign up for an event?

Accepted Answer

Signing up to an event on SpawnPoint is only meant to follow and track it — it is not a real registration for the event itself. Actual registration often happens outside our platform, so always check the event details for how to officially sign up. Some events are open to everyone, while others may be limited to members of a specific community or require a team.

Question 41

What is a free agent?

Accepted Answer

A free agent is a player who registers for a competition without a full team. Free agents are matched with teams that need players for the roles they play, so you can compete even if you don’t have a roster of your own.

Question 42

How do I set up an event for my community?

Accepted Answer

Community admins and moderators can create events from the community dashboard. Open the Events section, choose "Create Event", and fill in the details such as game, date, time, and capacity.

Question 43

How are competitions structured?

Accepted Answer

Competitions can run in several formats set by the organiser, including round-robin group stages, series and match days, and single or double elimination brackets. The competition page shows the format, schedule, and rules for each event.

Question 44

How do standings and leaderboards work?

Accepted Answer

Standings are calculated from match results according to the competition’s format — for example points earned across a group stage or progression through a bracket. Communities can also maintain leaderboards for their games, with rankings based on competitive results and managed by community admins.

Question 45

How do I add players to my competition team?

Accepted Answer

A team owner or manager can invite players to the competition roster and assign the roles each player will fill. Players you invite receive a request to join the team for that competition.

Question 46

Can I host a tournament?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you run a community, you can organise tournaments and competitions for your members using the community dashboard, set the format, and track results through leaderboards.

Question 47

Can I host my tournament on another platform and still list it here?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you’d rather run your tournament on an external platform — your own website, a bracket tool, or another service — you can still publish it on SpawnPoint as an information-only listing with an external link. The competition page then acts as a showcase (a landing page): it shows all the details and points players to the external platform to register and play. When an external link is set, the on-platform tournament features — teams, schedule, free agents, and brackets — are turned off for that competition, so only its information tab is shown.

Question 48

Are events free to take part in?

Accepted Answer

SpawnPoint never charges you to take part in an event — that’s always free on our side. Whether a specific event has any entry requirements or costs is entirely up to the organiser running it, so check the event details before signing up.

Question 49

Where can I see my upcoming events?

Accepted Answer

Your dashboard and the Calendar show the events you’ve signed up for, so you always know what’s coming next and when to show up.

Question 50

How do I message other players?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in chat to message players, teammates, and community members directly. You can start a conversation from a user’s profile or continue existing chats from your inbox.

Question 51

Can I have group chats with my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Teams and groups can use shared chats to coordinate scrims, line-ups, and match schedules in one place.

Question 52

How do I report inappropriate messages?

Accepted Answer

If someone breaks the rules in chat, use the report option on their profile or message. Our moderation team reviews reports and takes action against harassment, spam, and abuse.
