When tournament sign-ups are opened, you will see a interface drop down from the top of the chat area. There will be a button to join if you're not in the tournament and a button to leave if you are. Alternatively, the commands /tour join and /tour leave can be used instead. Please resist any urge to spam joins and leaves since it is a bannable offence.
Once you join the tournament, the bracket will already by displayed. However, do not challenge anyone yet. Please wait until someone starts the tournament.
When the tournament starts, you should see the leave button replaced with information about any match-ups you have. Challenge drop downs and buttons will appear if you are matched up to challenge another user. Please use the interface to challenge the user rather challenging the "normal" way because otherwise it won't count as a tournament match.
Tips:
- Run
/tourby itself for a list of currently running tournaments - The tournament bracket becomes draggable and will be able to be popped out if it grows too large
- You can toggle the tournament bracket by clicking on the header
- If the interface messes up (e.g., bracket disappeared or challenges not working), try running
/tour getupdate - You can cancel your challenge by running
/tour cancelchallenge
All commands are to be run under /tour. For example, the command start would be typed into chat as /tour start.

<format> is the battle format, such as OU. Don't worry, if you type this wrong, it will give you a list of valid ones.
<type> is the tournament type, of which roundrobin and elimination are currently supported.
roundrobinis your typical Round Robin tournament, but if you provide an optional argument, it becomes a Double Round Robin tournament, meaning that each battle is done twice. This type of tournament is more suited for a low number of users (e.g., less than 6).eliminationis the more well known Elimination tournament style, and accepts a number as an optional argument. The number represents the type of Elimination tournament. For example,2would mean Double Elimination.
Examples:
/tour new ou, roundrobin: OU Round Robin/tour new ou, roundrobin, 1: OU Double Round Robin/tour new ou, elimination: OU Single Elimination/tour new ou, elimination, 2: OU Double Elimination
