This public visibility helps tournament organizers grow their events and build a reputation as a reliable competitive destination. The web version updates in real time alongside the Discord bracket, ensuring consistency across platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can a bracket support?
Free tournaments support brackets up to 64 participants. Premium squads can run brackets with higher caps depending on their subscription tier. The bot handles power-of-two and non-power-of-two entry counts automatically, placing byes where needed to keep the bracket balanced regardless of the exact number of entrants.
Can I edit the bracket after it is generated?
Tournament organizers can swap seeds, add byes, and disqualify participants through the ReadyRaider dashboard before or during the event. Changes made on the web dashboard reflect in Discord automatically, so the /bracket command always shows the most current state. Once a match has been played, the result is locked to preserve competitive integrity.
Does the bot support best-of-three or best-of-five matches?
Yes. When creating a tournament you can set the match format per round, including best-of-one, best-of-three, or best-of-five series. You can even configure different formats for different stages, such as best-of-one in early rounds and best-of-three for the semifinals and finals, giving organizers full control over the competitive structure.
Can spectators view the bracket in Discord?
Anyone in the server can use /bracket to see the current state of the draw at any time. No special permissions or roles are required for viewing. The embed displays completed match scores, upcoming matchups, and the path to the grand final. Spectators outside the server can also view the bracket on the ReadyRaider website using the event's shareable link.
What seeding options are available for brackets?
The bot offers three seeding modes: random seeding for casual community events, manual seeding for organizers who want to place specific players at specific seeds, and Elo-based seeding that automatically ranks participants by their ReadyRaider skill rating. Elo-based seeding ensures the top-rated players are placed on opposite sides of the bracket, producing more competitive matches in the later rounds.
How does double elimination bracket tracking work?
In double elimination events, the bot maintains both a winners bracket and a losers bracket. When a player loses their first match, they drop to the losers bracket and continue competing. A second loss eliminates them from the tournament. The /bracket command displays both brackets clearly, and the bot handles all advancement logic automatically, including the grand final matchup between the winners and losers bracket champions.
