When hands are created for your event without being immediately assigned to a participant — such as hands sold in bulk, hands from cancelled mobile deliveries, or hands created in advance — the Assign Registrations screen lets you link them to the correct participant on event day.
This is different from creating a new hand. Assign Registrations works with hands that already exist in your event but aren't yet tied to anyone.
📍 Where to Find It
Manage Events → Select Event → Assign Registrations
🔗 How to Assign a Hand
From the Assign Registrations screen, select the unassigned hand you want to assign, then choose how to link it to a participant:
✅ Option 1: QR Code Scan
Use this when the participant has the Aces Poker Run app installed and is present with you.
Select the unassigned hand
Tap Scan QR Code
Scan the participant's User QR Code from their app
The hand is immediately linked to their account
🔍 Option 2: Search by Participant
Use this when you know who the hand belongs to and want to assign it directly.
Select the unassigned hand
Use the search field to find the participant by name
Select the correct participant from the results
Confirm the assignment

💡 Tips
QR scan is the fastest and most reliable method when the participant is present
Search is useful when assigning hands ahead of time or when participants haven't arrived yet
Once assigned, the hand appears in the participant's account immediately and they can begin collecting cards
