Defining Stages and Rounds

Before moving forward, a distinction needs to be clarified between stages and rounds:

    A stage is a collection of rounds or matches.
    A round is a collection of matches.

    A stage is typically an entire bracket, or a round robin, or a qualifiers stage.
    A round is typically within a bracket stage.

For example, if a tournament has qualifiers, and then a double elimination bracket of 32 teams, then:

• The qualifiers would be a stage.
• The double elimination bracket would be a stage.
• The double elimination bracket would have multiple rounds, which are:
  • Round of 32
  • Round of 16
  • Quarterfinals
  • Semifinals
  • Finals
  • Grand Finals

Stage Creation

To create a stage, use the /stage_create command in an admin channel that you had designated during the tournament creation section. Ensure you fill in all the required parameters.

When creating a single/double elimination stage, the Corsace Discord bot will automatically decide on and create the rounds for you. You currently cannot create/edit/delete rounds manually, but support for this is planned in the future.

Next Steps

Once you have created a stage, you can proceed to creating mappools for the stages and rounds.
