Hey Summoners, In this support article, we'll walk you through the process of creating a tournament for League of Legends. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to set up your first League of Legends tournament.

*This article is only related to regions managed by Riot Games, you can find the list of the servers here. If you are using an Ex Garena server/region please use the game "Garena LOL" for your tournament.

*Before creating tournaments on Battlefy you will need to have a tournament organization first, more info can be found here.

Let's waste no time and start creating the tournament

  1. Sign in to your account > Click on Organize Tournament > Select your Organization > Click on New Tournament

Now search or select League Of Legends from the game selection 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:

  • 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.
