Registration

Joining a MAGK event starts with registration. Your event organizer will share a registration link, QR code, or direct you to an on-site kiosk. This page covers each registration method from the player's perspective.

Registration Methods

There are three ways to register for an event:

Method How It Works Best For
Web Link Open a URL in your browser and fill out the form Remote registration before the event
QR Code Scan a printed QR code with your phone camera On-site registration at the venue
Kiosk Station Use a shared device at the event check-in area Walk-up registration without a personal device

All three methods lead to the same registration form — the only difference is how you get there.

Your organizer will share a registration URL (e.g., https://magktech.com/register/spring-exercise-2025).

  1. Open the link in any web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer
  2. Fill in the registration form:
Field Required Description
Callsign Yes Your in-game name visible on the tactical map and scoreboard
Name Yes Your real name for organizer reference
Contact Info Varies Email or phone — depends on event settings
Team Preference If enabled Select your preferred team (organizer may override)
Player Role If enabled Choose a role such as Rifleman, Medic, or Squad Leader
  1. Submit the form
  2. You'll see a confirmation page with your registration status

Approval Required

Some events require organizer approval before your registration is confirmed. You'll be notified when your registration is approved.

Registering via QR Code

Organizers often display printed QR codes at the event venue, briefing area, or staging location.

  1. Open your phone's camera app (or any QR scanner)
  2. Point it at the QR code
  3. Tap the link that appears — it opens the registration page in your browser
  4. Complete the same registration form described above
  5. Submit and wait for confirmation

The QR code simply encodes the event registration URL. No special app is needed.

Registering at a Kiosk Station

Kiosk stations are shared devices (tablets or laptops) set up at the event venue for walk-up registration.

  1. Approach the kiosk station at the check-in area
  2. The screen displays the event registration form
  3. Enter your callsign, name, and any other required fields
  4. Submit the form
  5. The kiosk resets automatically after a short timeout for the next player

Kiosk Tip

Kiosk registrations may be auto-approved depending on event settings. Ask your organizer if you need to wait for approval.

After Registration

Once registered (and approved, if required), you'll receive:

  • Confirmation — Your registration status and assigned team
  • Certificate package — A .zip or .p12 file for TAK client authentication
  • Server connection details — The server address and port for your TAK client

Keep these details handy — you'll need them for TAK Client Setup.
