First time running an event?

Not sure if this is for you?

You don’t need a polished sponsor program, a parent FB group, or ten years of event experience to qualify. Event Partner is built for first-time tournament directors and volunteer board members, smaller clubs running their first event of the season. We’ll help you figure out what makes sense for your scale on the 20-minute intake call. No commitment, no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do donated event credentials work?
Every Event Partner gets up to 100 free event credentials donated to your event, the PVC name badges your staff, athletes, and VIPs wear. If your event needs more than 100, the additional credentials are discounted at your partner pricing. Series Partners get a higher donated allotment that scales with your series, we’ll confirm the exact amount on the intake call based on your annual volume. The donated credentials are separate from your Tournament Tags® + Promotional Items discount.
How does the attendee promo code actually work?
Every partnership comes with a trackable promo code (e.g. TOURNEY15) that your teams, coaches, and parents can use for their own Skillzys® orders, team bag tags, coaching credentials, club-level credentialing, anything. You share it in your communications. Every redemption is tracked back to your event, so you can see the value of the partnership in real numbers. Discount value is tiered, we’ll set the exact code on the intake call based on your tier and volume.
What’s a host-club house account?
If your tournament is hosted by a youth club, league, or sports org, that org gets a standing discount and free creative services on their year-round orders, not just tournament credentials. Think team bag tags, trophy tags, banquet credentials, coaching passes, practice gear accessories. Available at Series and Governing Body tiers. It’s a real lever to deepen the relationship with your host org.
Who qualifies for the Governing Body tier and the 60% off?
The Governing Body tier is reserved for organizations like National Governing Bodies (USA Volleyball, US Soccer, USA Hockey, etc.), state and regional sport associations, conference / collegiate athletics bodies, and league authorities or sanctioning bodies. The deeper discount reflects the relationship depth, multi-year commitments, member-org pricing pass-through, association-wide branding programs. Tournament organizers and event series fit better at Series Partner.
What if I’m a reseller, agency, or B2B partner?
Resellers, event-production agencies, promotional-products distributors, and league-management platforms run on a separate track from event partners. Different terms, wholesale pricing tiers, white-label options, co-marketing case-by-case. Pick "Reseller / B2B" on the application form and we’ll route to the right B2B conversation.
What if I only run one event per year?
Event Partner tier is designed for single events or small local series. If your volume fits and you can offer the invisible placements, it’s a fit. For one-off lower-volume orders, standard Price Match may be a better route.
Can I stack Partner & Save with Price Match?
Generally no, Partner & Save pricing is already below our standard, so it usually beats a price match outright. We’ll always walk through both options during intake and land on whichever is better for you.
Is there a contract?
Yes, a simple written partnership agreement covering pricing, exposure deliverables, and term length. Typically 1–2 pages. It protects both sides and locks your pricing.
Does the discount apply to all Skillzys® products?
Most partnerships cover event credentials, lanyards, and TapTags™. Specialty products (metal tags, custom items) are included case-by-case. We’ll map the covered catalog during intake.
What happens if my event changes or shrinks?
Life happens. We’ll work with you to adjust the tier or pause the partnership mid-term. No punitive clauses, we want long-term partners, not one-sided contracts.
Do I have to host a booth or put Skillzys® staff on-site?
No. We specifically don’t ask for booth space or on-site presence, you’re already running an event, the last thing you need is another vendor to manage. Our asks are digital: your website, your emails, your social, your recap video. The one physical placement is a small footer + QR on the credentials themselves, which your attendees carry around for you.
What’s the difference between “invisible” and “active” placements?
Invisible placements (logo on website, QR on credentials, end-card on recap video) take zero ongoing effort from you, set it once, done. Active placements (dedicated emails, tagged social posts, parent-community posts) require a little work from your team, which is why they only unlock at Series and Governing Body tiers. We provide templates and drafts for all of it.
