Tournament Mode disables all features that may give users an unfair advantage such as Scripts, Macros, and GamePacks. Cross-Over Controller and Automatic Button Remapping are fully supported.

First, connect Cronus Zen to a Windows PC *(or Mac with Windows 10 installed)* using a mini-USB cable from the **PROG USB Port*** (See highlighted in red below).* Then open Zen Studio.

Open the Zen Operational Mode interface by selecting **Tools 👉 Zen Operational Mode**. Then select **'Tournament Mode'** and click **Finish**.

Once Tournament Mode is active, the letters TE will appear to the right of Zen's firmware version (**FW v2.1.0-beta 17** Device Settings: Tournament Mode selected in the above example). The active Operational Mode is displayed in the **status bar**, and you can also click this area to load the Zen Operational Mode interface.
In case you are in a Tournament setting and need to display that your Cronus Zen is in fact in Tournament Mode, the OLED 

Message Screen displays the following graphic.
