# How to change your name

#### I am a new player and the tournament organizer misspelled my name

* Contact the tournament organizer and ask them to fix the spelling of your name
* If the misspelled name has made it to the IFPA website, you should also [update your IFPA profile](https://www.ifpapinball.com/user-profile-3/).

#### I have changed my name due to gender transition, marriage or divorce

* Make sure your IFPA profile reflects your name name. You may have to [update your IFPA profile](https://www.ifpapinball.com/user-profile-3/)
* Once your IFPA is updated please email <play@matchplay.events> with the following information:
  * Your new name. This is the most important part!
  * A link to your IFPA profile
  * A link to your Match Play profile, if you have one

Name changes like these are done by manually updating multiple systems and it may take a day or two to process.
