- A map pool ready (you can use the default Active Duty pool).
2. Create the tournament¶
- Go to the Tournament page in the sidebar.
- Click “Create Tournament”.
- Fill in:
- Name – what you want to call the event.
- Description – optional short text for your own reference.
- Choose the tournament type (for example Single Elimination or Double Elimination).
- Choose the match format (BO1 / BO3 / BO5, or Round Robin/Swiss).
3. Select teams and map pool¶
- Select the teams you want to include.
- Choose a map pool:
- Use Active Duty if you are unsure.
- Or pick one of your custom map pools.
Click “Generate Bracket” to create all matches.
4. Share team pages and start¶
- From the tournament view, copy the public team URLs.
- Send each team their link so they can:
- See their upcoming matches.
- Join veto and view server info.
- When you are ready, start the tournament from the Bracket or Matches view and monitor progress.
