Tournaments (beta)
Run a tournament for any game. Teams sign up in Discord, captains check in, the bracket starts by itself, every match gets a private thread, and captains report and confirm results. You follow everything in the Studio, in Discord and on stream.
How it works#
- Formats: single elimination (optional 3rd place), double elimination (optional grand-final reset), round robin and Swiss.
- Picking a game fills in team size and best-of; you can change both.
- Results are reported per map/game by one captain and confirmed by the other. Disputes go to the staff role.
- Live bracket as an image in Discord, as an OBS overlay and in the Studio; a server leaderboard counts all tournaments.
Set it up#
In the Studio sidebar, under GAMES & FUN, click Tournaments (beta).
Click New tournament, pick the game, format, max teams and best-of.
Set a start time (check-in opens 30 min before) or leave empty to start manually.
Pick the channel, participant role and staff role, save and click Publish in Discord.
Captains click Sign up team and pick teammates. 1v1 is a single click.
Captains click Check in; then click Start bracket (or wait for the start time).
Each match gets a thread; captains report, the other confirms.
