Set up the Discord bot

MelCat Interactive adds the Tournament System bot to your league’s Discord server. Until you set it up, only the server’s owner and administrators can use its commands. Everything here happens in Discord.

Before you start

• You need to be able to change your Discord server’s settings, as an owner or administrator.

Choose who can use the commands

1. In Discord, open your server’s Server Settings and select Integrations, then Tournament System.
2. Under Roles & members, select Add roles or members and add the roles that should use the bot’s commands. To stop everyone else, set @everyone to ✗.
3. To keep the commands to some channels, set All channels to ✗ under Channels, then select Add channels and add them.
4. To set one command differently, select it in the list below and choose its own roles and channels. A command’s own choices replace the ones for all commands.

Let the bot into private channels

The bot sees the channels everyone can see. A private channel hides it like any other member, so the bot can’t post there.

1. In the private channel’s settings, open Permissions and select Add members or roles.
2. Add the Tournament System role and allow View Channel and Send Messages.

The Tournament System role is Discord’s own role for the bot. You can change its permissions and move it in the role list, but you can’t give it to anyone.
