Weekend Tournaments
Every weekend the bot runs an automated knockout tournament - a random game, a real pot, and a champion crowned by Sunday night. Anyone can enter; there are no ratings and no teams, just a straight single-elimination bracket.
The weekend at a glance
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Friday 6pm | A random game is drawn (Death Roll / Roll Duel / Rock Paper Scissors) and signups open. Join with !tournament join. |
| Saturday 2pm | Signups close, the bracket is drawn (random seeding, byes as needed), and Round 1 pairings are posted. |
| Sat → Sun | Rounds run at weekend pace. Play your assigned match whenever you're both around. |
| Sunday evening | The final is played and the champion is crowned - the pot pays out. |
Fewer than 4 entrants and the whole thing is cancelled Friday-night-style and everyone's refunded.
How to play
- Join - click the Join button on the announce (or
!tournament join) while signups are open. The buy-in is escrowed (refunded if you leave before close, or if the tournament is cancelled). Prefer not to think about it? Run!tournament autojoin ononce and you'll be auto-entered every weekend - the buy-in is taken when signups open, and you're simply skipped any week you can't afford it. Turn it off with!tournament autojoin off. - Ready up & play - when you're paired you'll be @-pinged. Both players click the ✅ Ready
button on the round message; once you're both ready the bot says go. Then play the tournament's game
against your opponent as a normal friendly game with a bet of 0, e.g.
!g deathroll @opponent 0. There's no special "tournament mode" - the bot auto-detects the result and advances the bracket. Only the first result between a paired-up couple counts. (Readying up also marks you as "showed up" for the no-show rule.) - Win - survive every round to take the pot.
You'll be @-pinged when it's your turn each round. If your opponent ghosts and you turned up to play, you win at the deadline - only a genuine double no-show is decided by coin-flip. So show up.
