Each key signs one kind of thing. Only the league key can sign a result, a ladder or a tournament.

• League key ladders, tournaments and their calendar, attestations and chess game records of every result, the season chain npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 Profile
• Trust key trust ranks and the anchor list npub1vln5ty4su48exenjdznrp9jag4jqqzva0v4hrnu2ht9ump3744hs3ehc5v Profile
• Badge key rank badges and their awards npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 Profile
• Notification key the encrypted notifications sent to players npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 Profile
• Stream key the 24/7 stream and its live events npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 Profile
• Stream bot chat lines and tournament notes on the stream npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 Profile

The two sets are separate on purpose: a relay chosen for encrypted chats is not a place for league events, and the other way round.

With nak, a command-line Nostr tool, you read the league’s events straight from a relay and check their signatures.

1. The tournaments as calendar events nak req -k 31923 -a npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 wss://relay.primal.net

4. Check every signature of what came back nak req -k 2154 -a npub1mapwq05fcwe2qk5ftd7qeerwpswwzpgcjfkum8w23csruj2dyjwq6lu3y5 -l 5 wss://relay.primal.net | nak verify

nak verify prints nothing when every signature holds, and names the event that fails. Get nak
