Documentation section 2 of 7
Getting started
- Open Bracket Control. Anyone can see the public homepage.
- Choose Manage Your Tournaments or Sign in with Discord, and log in with the Discord account belonging to your community.
- At Your Discord servers, pick your server. Organisers use Open dashboard and Server settings; ordinary members can View tournaments where the server provides public access.
- The Dashboard is scoped to one server. The sidebar contains Home, Dashboard, Notifications for admins, My Teams, and Server Management with settings, team management, announcements, divisions and global Discord channels.
- Use the Tournament and Server dropdowns in the top bar to select your context. The top bar shows Bracket, Ladder and Match Results for a selected event. On phones, expand Navigation.
- If you have a direct link from an organiser, open it instead. A captain-specific link still requires sign-in and verified captain/server identity.
Important: A Discord member is not necessarily a Bracket Control organiser. Ask your server administrator for an authorised organiser role. The app is free at launch and does not handle fees or prizes.

Captain matches
After Discord sign-in, verified captains can open My Matches for active match assignments across their hosting servers. New fixtures use one verified winning scoresheet per game and a separate opposing captain confirmation. Legacy events may still use the two-scoresheet match report.
