Keep everything where your community already lives — from registration to payout.
Yes, you can run a full gaming tournament inside Discord. The Rivals Discord bot handles brackets, match scheduling, result collection, and winner announcements — all inside your server. Players never need to leave the community to compete.
Your community is already in Discord. Running tournaments on a separate platform means asking your players to leave, create another account, and come back. Most won't. The drop-off between “saw the announcement” and “actually registered” kills more tournaments than bad brackets ever will.
You need Manage Server permissions. Invite the bot from your Rivals Organizer Dashboard. The process takes a few minutes.
Connect the bot to your account so it can sync with your events, brackets, and tournament data. This is a one-time setup.
On the Organizer Dashboard, set your game (Dota 2 is live now), format (single elimination, double elimination, or round robin), entry fee, prize pool structure, and your rake (0–30% of entry fees). This is your earnings.
Once your event is live, the bot posts the registration link and countdown in your designated channel. Players see it in the server — no external links, no app downloads.
Players register through the link. Entry fees go directly into secured escrow the moment they pay. The bot tracks registration count in your channel. You can see totals on the Organizer Dashboard.
Registration closes. Brackets are generated automatically. The bot handles match schedules, lobby details, results collection and verification, real-time bracket updates, winner announcements, and payout status confirmation.
The bot handles the infrastructure. You handle the community.
If a player has a question the bot can't answer — unusual circumstances, connection issues, team roster problems — they'll come to you.
Hype posts, community engagement, and pre-event announcements are still your job. That's a feature, not a limitation — your community voice should sound like you, not a bot.
Tournament channels can get heated. Keep your server rules visible and enforced.
Post your rules, schedule, and no-show policy before registration opens. The more your community knows in advance, the fewer issues you'll handle during the event.
Your community already lives in Discord. The Rivals bot lets you run tournaments there — brackets, entry fees, results, and payouts — without asking players to leave. The infrastructure works inside the server. You focus on building the community.
