BattleBot is the free Discord tournament bot from the BattleTabs team — it builds the bracket, handles sign-ups, and tracks results live, for BattleTabs or any other game. Here's the short version of getting from an empty channel to a finished bracket.
Install BattleBot free from battlebot.battletabs.io — click Add to Discord and approve the permissions (you need admin access on the server). The commands appear immediately; there is nothing to configure.
In the channel where you want the tournament, run /tournaments_create. An interactive wizard asks for a tournament name, the player count (4, 8, 16, or 32), and which game you're playing.
Choose single elimination for a shorter event or a first-to-X series for longer head-to-heads. BattleTabs tournaments track results automatically; any other game works with one-tap manual reporting.
BattleBot posts a message with a Sign Up button in the channel. The bracket can start automatically when it fills, or you can start it yourself with /tournaments_admin.
Each pairing gets its own private match thread where players report the winner with one tap, and the live bracket updates after every result. For standings or anything else mid-event, /ask answers in plain English.
