Delay tournament start / postpone signup deadline

[DerIKM]

My tournament https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=344241 may get started with a number of participants between 61 and 85, which would mean that 6 players would reach the semifinals, so one player would advance to the final for free.
Is there a way to postpone the signup deadline so i can get 86 players participating?
Does it help if I change the date of the first match?

You can't change tournament settings once players have already registered.

If you're desperate for at least 86 players, just DM some players and ask if they'd like to join, your best bets being looking at other tournaments, and look for regular tournament players who haven't yet joined.

I screwed up the settings for a tournament once (forgot to set playing hours) and canceled the tournament, which you can do before it starts. Then I directly invited every single person who had already signed up before. Luckily it was in the 20s, not the 60s.
