1. Linking Your Accounts

Step 1: Link Start.gg to Discord

Run this command in the tournament Discord server:

/link-startgg

The bot will:

1. Provide an authorization URL
2. You click the link and authorize with Start.gg
3. Your Discord account is now linked to your Start.gg profile

Verify Linking

Check your linked account:

/my-profile

This shows your connected accounts and any tournaments.

2. Registering for a Tournament

Step 1: Find Your Tournament

When a tournament is announced, the bot will post in the announcement channel with:

• Tournament name
• Registration deadline
• How to register

Step 2: Register

Run:

/register

The bot will:

1. Ask which event (game) you're entering
2. Confirm your registration
3. Notify you when registration is complete

Check Registration Status

View your registrations:

/my-registrations

3. Checking In

When your match is called, you'll be notified in a Discord thread:

Step 1: Check Your Mentions

Look for a DM or mention from the bot in the match thread.

Step 2: Click Check-In Button

Click the "Check In" button in the thread.

Time limit: You typically have 5-10 minutes to check in.

Step 3: Wait for Opponent

Once both players check in, the match begins.

If You Can't Check In

• Technical issues: Contact a TO immediately
• Running late: Message your opponent in the thread
• Need more time: Ask TO to extend check-in

4. Reporting Scores

Step 1: Report Your Win

When your match is complete, the winner runs:

/report

This opens a modal to:

• Select the winner (yourself)
• Enter the score (e.g., 2-1)

Step 2: Opponent Confirms

Your opponent receives a confirmation request. They must confirm for the score to be final.

Auto-confirm: If your opponent doesn't confirm within 5 minutes, the result is auto-submitted.

Step 3: Score Reported to Start.gg

Once confirmed, the result is automatically reported to Start.gg.

5. Common Issues

"I can't find /link-startgg"

Solution: The command might be restricted. Make sure you're in the tournament Discord server.

"Registration failed"

Possible causes:

• Tournament registration not open yet
• You haven't linked Start.gg yet
• You're already registered
• Event is full

"Check-in button not working"

• Make sure you're clicking the button in the correct thread
• Try refreshing Discord
• Check if check-in deadline has passed

"Can't report score"

• Only the winner should run /report
• Wait for opponent to confirm
• If opponent is unresponsive, contact a TO

"I reported the wrong score"

Contact your opponent or a TO immediately to correct it before it's confirmed on Start.gg.
