Open the Compete tab to review an event, select its tournament mode from Play under By Epic, and enter only when the event is live and your account meets every displayed requirement.
Open Fortnite's main menu and select Compete. Choose the event and read its schedule, region, format, rules, and eligibility before the session begins.
If the event shows a lock, select it to see which requirement is missing. Requirements can include age, account level, rank, 2FA, prior tournament participation, or event-specific rules.

Select the tournament mode
Go to Play, open Mode Selection, and choose the tournament under By Epic. Confirm the selected event and region match the Compete card.

Enter during the session
Ready up while the event window is open and complete the match under its rules. Starting another mode does not count as tournament entry.

Check points and unresolved locks
Return to Compete to review points and remaining sessions. If locked, read the displayed missing requirement instead of changing the account's age or region.

If it does not work
