Tournament Sponsor Deliverable Sheet

What game studios receive when title-sponsoring a 4i grassroots competitive tournament circuit. Authenticated players, verified Discord registration tasks, and organic community campaign impressions.

Sponsor Spec Sheet • September 2026
Sample Circuit: 560 Teams (2,500+ Players) • $2,500 Illustrative Baseline

01. Core Sponsor Deliverables

Primary KPI Contractual Floor

2,500+ Verified Wishlists / Pre-Registrations

Minimum baseline floor of 2,500 authenticated Steam wishlists or Google Play pre-registrations completed by competing team members via mandatory Discord registration tasks before bracket seeding locks. No upper cap: viral community invitations and ladder momentum scale organically beyond the floor at no extra cost.

Verification: screenshot proof, 30-day+ Discord account age filter, and WhatsApp OTP authentication before bracket issuance. If completions fall below 2,500, 4i mobilizes supplementary community scrimmages at zero charge until fulfilled.
Reach KPI Community Baseline Floor

150,000+ Verified Community Impressions (Baseline Floor)

Operational impression baseline generated directly by tournament recruitment, captain registrations, Discord task channels, and schedule circulation across 560 competitive teams and 100+ community groups.

Impression sources: WhatsApp scrim group announcements (50K-75K), Discord partner server pings (50K-75K), Discord task channels and check-in tickets (25K-35K), and schedule/bracket circulation (15K-25K).

02. Impression Breakdown by Channel and Phase

Start-to-end operational community impression estimates for a sample circuit (Free Fire MAX: 432 squads + Valorant: 128 teams; 560 teams total), driven through Discord tournament registration tasks, WhatsApp scrim hubs, and bracket operations.

Phase / Channel Activities Conservative Realistic Target
Phase 1: Recruitment & WhatsApp Scrim Hubs (Days 1-7) Flyers in 80-100 scrim groups, WhatsApp status shares, captain guild announcements across 560 slots 50,000 75,000
Phase 2: Discord Partner Server Announcements (Days 1-7) Registration announcements and pings across 20-30 partner esports servers linking to tournament hub 50,000 75,000
Phase 3: Discord Tournament Registration & Task Gate (Days 1-12) Mandatory sponsor task channels and check-in tickets where 2,500+ players view game details and complete wishlists 25,000 35,000
Phase 4: Schedule, Bracket, & Roster Circulation (Days 8-15) Daily tournament schedules, bracket sheets, and qualified roster notices circulating across 560 competing teams 15,000 25,000
Total Operational Baseline Organic community reach without paid media or external ad spend 140,000 210,000
Operational Focus: Pure Community Engagement & Conversion

Unlike speculative ad campaigns or untracked video impressions, 100% of sponsor visibility is tied directly to the tournament registration and bracket progression funnel. Players must actively inspect the sponsor's title, complete the verified store task, and submit proof to participate.
