# Tournaments

Tournaments are the main form of competition on Tiltyard. Pay an entry fee and compete against other players for the prize pool. Player entry fees go directly into the tournament prize pool.\
\
Tournaments are a time-gated game mode where players draft their team and gear and submit a single heist plan that plays out against opponents for the duration of the single-elimination style tournament. Combat simulates against opponents in a single-elimination bracket. Different tournaments have varying buy-in fees, providing entry options for most players.\
\
There are three types of tournaments on Tiltyard for Midnight Heist: Guaranteed Tournaments, Sit-n-Go Tournaments, and Custom Tournaments.
