Overview
Tournament Manager is a Node.js web application with a companion Discord bot for running online tournaments. Teams register through a form, captains confirm their roster, and check-in opens at a time you set so the bracket is seeded only from teams who turned up. Single elimination, double elimination and Swiss groups are all supported, and a Swiss stage can feed a playoff bracket from a configurable cut.
Every match has its own page with the two teams, the scheduled time, the map or veto result and a reporting form. Either captain can submit a score, the other confirms it, and a mismatch opens a dispute for an admin. The Discord bot creates a private thread per match with both captains and the admin role, posts the match page link and reminders, and closes the thread when the result is confirmed.
The public side is a standings page and a bracket view that update as results come in, with an embed URL for a stream overlay. Admin tools cover reseeding, forfeits, schedule changes and a dispute queue with evidence attachments. Everything is delivered as source code with a SQLite database by default and a Postgres option, for you to run on a VPS or a platform of your choice.
As a server-owner plan, the operational material comes with it: a runbook for tournament day, templates for rules and a dispute policy, and a checklist for opening and closing registration. Revisions to those documents and updates to the app and bot for Discord API changes are placed in your Gaming Library while you are subscribed.
