Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode provides a streamlined registration interface designed for shared devices at event venues. It allows walk-up participants to register without needing a personal device or prior account.

Page Location

  • URL: /kiosk/:eventSlug
  • Access: Public (unauthenticated)

Purpose

Kiosk stations are typically tablets or laptops placed at check-in areas during events. They provide a simplified, touch-friendly registration flow optimized for quick throughput.

Layout

The kiosk interface uses a full-screen layout with:

  • Large event branding and name at the top
  • A simplified registration form with large input fields and buttons
  • No browser navigation chrome (designed for full-screen or kiosk browser mode)

Registration Flow

  1. The kiosk displays a welcome screen with the event name and a Register button
  2. The participant fills in the registration form (callsign, name, and any event-required fields)
  3. After submission, a confirmation screen shows the registration status
  4. The screen automatically resets after a short timeout, ready for the next participant

Form Fields

Field Required Description
Callsign Yes In-game name for the tactical map and scoreboard
Name Yes Real name for organizer reference
Additional fields Varies Configured per event by the organizer

Auto-Reset Behavior

After a successful registration, the kiosk displays the confirmation for a brief period (typically 10–15 seconds) before resetting to the welcome screen. This prevents the previous participant's information from remaining visible.

Kiosk Setup

For the best experience, set the device browser to full-screen or kiosk mode. Most browsers support this via an F11 toggle or a dedicated kiosk mode flag.

Auto-Approval

Organizers can configure kiosk registrations to be auto-approved, skipping the manual approval step. This is useful for events where all walk-up participants should be immediately enrolled.
