Learn English – Another word for “private”

word-request

I am writing about poker tournaments. I need to express the idea that there are two types of tournaments – open (everyone can participate) and the tournament where there are certain terms for participation (promo code, invitation, etc.)

What's the right word for that second kind? Restricted, private, exclusive, limited? I can't find the right word for that one.

Closed may be the word that you are looking for.

The descriptor "open" is used in a number of sports, and especially in golf, to describe a tournament that is "open" — in theory to all — rather than being closed, i.e., one that is restricted to a particular group.
