How to reserve places in a public tournament ?

I'm creating a Public Tournament. But I want to make sure that some specific friends play that tournament.

Let say the tournament is for 20 people and I have 5 friends.

How to make sure that the 5 vacants are reserved for my friends ?

Where is the link to the tournament?. Send a mail, pleaaassssssssssssssseeee

bribe with marshmellows and kittens

Pone fecha y hora y arrancamos todos. Por ejemplo, proximo lunes a las 18 hs argentina

1. make tournament

2. invite only the 5 friends at first

3. they join

4. invite others

Typically very few people join before you start inviting large amounts of people or publicizing it.

Wait, you're referring to a chess.com tournament, right? Eh, whatever same applies to OTB tournaments.

aleorlando: in english, please, i dont not speak spanish.
