Get started

Your first tournament,
up in a few minutes

No setup, no config files, no spreadsheets. Add the bot, run one command, and let your community sign up. CLUTCH builds the bracket and runs the rest.

Three steps

1
30 seconds

Add the bot to your server

Click the button, choose your Discord server, and approve.

You'll need the Manage Server permission on that server. The bot only asks for what it uses — creating match rooms, posting messages, and reading room history. Nothing else.

1 minute

Create a tournament

In any channel, type the create command and pick your game.

/tournament create

A short form asks for a title, a date & time (plain English like “Friday 8pm EST” works), and how many can join. Pick your game and CLUTCH fills in sensible competitive defaults. The bot then posts a signup message in your server.

Then it runs itself

Players sign up — you press Start

Everyone clicks Sign Up on the message. When you're ready, hit Start.

CLUTCH instantly builds the bracket, creates a private match room for every pairing, and gives you a live web page anyone can follow. From here you barely touch it — players report their own results with a button.

What your players see

One message. One click to join.

After step 2, this is the post that lands in your channel. No links to follow, no accounts to make — players just tap a button.

  • ●Sign Up adds them to the tournament instantly
  • ●The player count updates live as people join
  • ●Bracket opens the live web page — shareable anywhere
Example — your real post uses your game & settings

Common first questions

Do players need to sign up for anything?
No. All they need is a Discord account and to be in your server. They tap Sign Up and they're in — no website, no extra login.
How many people can join?
Up to 512 entrants in a single tournament, across single/double elimination, Swiss, round robin, and Battle Royale. Small weekly cups and big one-off events both work.
Which games does it support?
19 games with tuned presets — CS2, VALORANT, League, Rocket League, GOALS, PUBG, Apex and more — plus a Custom option for anything else. Pick one at create time and the defaults are set for you.
Is it free?
Yes. The Free plan runs real tournaments with check-in and the live web bracket included. Pro adds seeding, templates, auto-archiving and more when you want them — but you don't need it to get started.
What if a result is reported wrong?
Admins can fix any result — from the match room, the web dashboard, or with /tournament correct. The bracket re-flows automatically. Players can also Contest a result to flag it.
Do I have to babysit it during the event?
Not really. Once you press Start, players self-report in their rooms and the bracket advances on its own. You're there to handle the occasional dispute — everything else is automatic.
