FAQ 2 ORGANISING GAMES

Once you're registered for your first online gaming competition, please follow this checklist guideline to help you get playing some games!

If you do not have all of the below you CANNOT register for this competition until you do so. Please refer to the next section on how you can find these items

STEP 1 

FIXTURE SCHEDULING, ADDING SCORES & MATCH REPORTS

How do I know who I’m playing against?

Captain who registers will be sent an email with a link that will direct you to your own fixture portal.  That portal will contain your fixtures for the competition.  All communications between players needs to take place via the Discord server, using the appropriate text channel within the server e.g. Group A channel .  Esports Live will not be able to release any of the players’ personal details. 

What do I do once I know who I’m playing against?

Once you login to your portal and you know your opponents, you will be able to set the date and time for your home games only.  All games will  be set to Friday of the week by default.  The home team  must update the game date and time on the portal once a new date and time is agreed with the opposition team. It is then the responsibility of the home team captain to create the private match (see Step 3 on how to).

COMMUNICATING  WITH OPPONENTS - DISCORD 

Using Discord means everyone in the competition can easily communicate with each other. This is where you will organise and finalise kick off times with your opposition.
