F.A.Q.

Match.tf is a tournament hosting system, crafted just for TF2.

We provide a complete and free service that will help you to run a competition of any size: from 1-night cups to LANs and competitive leagues. We have tournament brackets, rosters, divs, easy pick/ban system, match scheduling, medal distribution helper and much more.

Yes, that means you no longer need to keep track of your participants if you are lucky enough to be given an ability of medal distribution.

You no longer need to ask captains to report scores in Discord (seriously, it's 2018 right now!).

    No, you don't have to. But this site is currenly in beta state. Which means that not everything might be self-explanatory and work as expected. We try to provide as much documentation as possible, but you are always free to ask if you need any kind of help. Plus, you get a unique possibility to chat with other tournament hosts!

  • Create your first tournament

    Go to "Tournaments" > "Create new tournament" (or simply click here if you are lazy). Fill in all the required fields and make sure you are ready to face the responsibility of maintaining a tournament you are about to create.

  • Advertise, review signups and run!

    Once you have your tournament parameter "Signuppable" active, captains that have teams fulfilling your tournament requirements will be able to sign their teams up. Don't forget to review signups regularly.

    When you think you have enough teams, close signups and start generating rounds or matches.
