When: As soon as you announce your tournament
Create a Discord server for your event. You can do this by clicking the + button on the left of the Discord client



After the server is created, the first thing you’ll probably see is a message like this saying to invite people to your server. Dismiss that for now (the X in the top right), as you’re not ready to do so yet.

You should now see an empty server that looks like this:

Add the Discord bot to your server by using this link. This will load a Discord login page in your browser. Log in with your same Discord username/password.
On the next screen, you’ll be asked to connect the Tournament Bot to one of your servers. Click on the name of the server you just created and hit “Continue.”

Hit “authorize” on the next screen:


Go back to the Discord desktop app. You should now see the “Tournament Bot” having joined your server.
Type the following command in the chat bow in the #general channel to initialize your server:
.i –force

You should see it creating a bunch of channels. After a few seconds it should look like this:

Go to the #honor-pledge channel. Paste in the code of conduct for this tournament. TODO: Link.
Pin the message you’ve just typed by moving your mouse over it, selecting the “…” and then choosing “Pin Message”.

Head over to the #bot-commands channel and then type the following message to see the list of available commands from the bot:
.h

At this point, the basics of your server will be set up.
