To create a tournament on Battlefy you'll need to create your Organization on Battlefy first. Here's a quick video on Creating your esports Organization

After you've created your organization on Battlefy you can now create your tournament.


Now search or select a game from the game selction page

Section 1: Basics (All fields of this section can be edited after creating the tournament):

  • Tournament Name: Here you can put your tournament name

  • Start Date & Time: The date and time of your tournament (This time is in your timezone, you can double check your timezone here (From the account settings page), also all of the players will see this time converted to their own timezones so you don't need to worry about that anymore)

  • Tournament Description (About): Here you can tell the players more about your tournaments.
    Also from this section, you can upload your tournament art/cover.

Section 2: Info (All fields of this section can be edited after creating the tournament):

In this section, you can add more details about your tournament, including Tournament Rules (In the rules tab), your contact info/tournament support (In the contact tab), tournament prizes (In the prizes tab), and tournament schedule (In the schedule tab)

This section will be displayed in a user-friendly way for your players so they can easily navigate between each of the sections like the screenshot below:


Section 3: Settings (Not all fields here are editable):

  • Game Region/Server: here you can pick the server in which you want to host the tournament. (Not editable after creating the tournament)

  • Game Format/Type: here you will pick the in-game lobby format (Not editable after creating the tournament)

  • Tournament Format: here you can pick the tournament format, that's where you decide how you want the players to be competing in the tournaments (Not editable after creating the tournament)

  • Match Score Reporting: You will pick who can report the scores of the matches, for League of Legends we have full lobby automation, the system will create the in game-lobbies and fetch the scores automatically after the game.

  • Check-In: here you will decide the time of the check-in period, more info about the tournament check-in can be found here.

  • On the advanced fields, you can even adjust more settings for your tournament, like Showing country flags on the brackets, setting participants limit, or even allowing only players from certain regions to join the tournament.

  • After tweaking your advanced fields, you can customize your registration fields, more info about them can be found here


    Then, the system will ask you to create the brackets, but you don't need to do that now.
    More info about our Brackets system can be found here.
    Then you will be asked what publishing settings you want.
