Tournament registration

1. Every user interested in joining their country's team signs up individually.

   • Tournament Management will create a list of potential candidates for a country's team.
   • Tournament Management declares one candidate to the captain of the country's team, albeit temporarily.
   • The declared captain can form their team from the candidate list of their country.
