Fair play for every bracket

How this works

Esports often tilt toward pros — this format keeps players inside their own skill brackets and separates paid cash brackets from casual 10-player pools. Everything runs through Discord so results and communication stay clear, even when matches are off-stream.

Join the Discord lobby

Discord is where lobbies are called, rules are pinned, and staff verify scores. It is required for both tournaments and 1v1 pools.

Pick your format

Queue for a skill-bracketed 10-player 1v1 pool or pay to lock in a tournament spot when you want structured rounds; the host does not play.

Set up the lobby & ready up

The home side spins up the private match, shares the lobby name/password, everyone joins a side, then types R/Ready before kickoff.

Play and report

Finish the match, submit both scores with a screenshot. Matching reports auto-advance; disagreements are flagged for admin review.

Rules that keep matches fair

  • Stay in your assigned skill bracket. Smurfing or sandbagging removes you from the event.
  • Use the posted lobby name/password (or private lobby invite) exactly as shared by staff.
  • Post screenshots of final scores in the correct Discord channel after every match.
  • If both players submit the same winner, that side advances automatically. Conflicting reports trigger admin review and screenshots are mandatory.
  • If only one player reports before the cut-off, the other side forfeits the match. Leaving a live bracket also counts as a forfeit with no refunds.
  • Follow admin timing updates; competitions may not be live streamed and coverage is not guaranteed.

Quick reminder

Make sure Discord notifications are on during events — lobby calls and match timing live there.

Custom lobby (home team) checklist

The home team creates the private match, shares access, and everyone readies up before kickoff. Leaving a live tournament counts as a forfeit — no refunds — so if you can't make it, back out from your profile before the event goes live.
