Hello everyone, I am a high school math teacher and as we are finishing the school year, I wanted to make a tournament using this platform, for which I became a premium member.When I launched it, I realized that because of the IP rule, it would be impossible to launch one, since all the kids would play from the same IP.
My question is, is there any way to make it happen, perhaps dodging the IP rule?
Thank you very much! :D

I don't believe that restriction will stop you from creating and all joining the tournament.
It's only that a non-premium member can't make a new table with other same IP players.

I never play tournaments,so I don't know all the rules. Is it a private tournament, only your students?
Not sure if that is allowed. If you hold a tournament and only selected people can enter, it could be a form of ELO boosting.

But you can hold separate matches, or play them in training mode might even be better.

Players are free to pick and choose their opponents...

So, if i change the game mode to training, they can play from the same IP, even if they are not premium?

Maybe it's possible, if you use the BGA-tournament-system to invite your students into that private tournament. At least it's possible to play Premium-games among non-Premium-players in tournaments that way. Maybe you can also bypass IP-restriction if you hold the tournament as BGA-tournament.

I am not sure if you can play DIFFERENT games / tables from the same IP. Maybe you should check that before.

The only way to do it is to setup a tournament. Make it private, and invite your friends / students individually.
