A bot to facilitate running tournaments entirely via discord

automatic-to's Issues

Support custom emojis for the checkin reaction.

Add a command to start the tournament

Add support for slash commands

Should probably learn how to actually use them lol.

Write critical metadata to persistent storage

When the command is run to open registration, we need to know the ID of the message people are reacting to in order to register people. If the bot crashes or is otherwise turned off before the tournament starts, it has no way of recovering. Things like that message ID should be written somewhere. Maybe a SQLite DB, or if we're lazy we could just pickle it I guess.

Add command to report/confirm scores

I believe the working idea is to @ the bot and the opponent with the score, and then to confirm it by having both players react to that message.

Message players when bracket is created

Can include a prompt to run !set-challonge-username, and maybe a "remove me" command once that's added.

Add proper logging

After each command run or any new events ("called X match", "DQ'd Y player", etc.) we should write to some log that can be looked at later.

Add usage guide

Basically explaining what the commands are, an example tournament scenario, etc. Screenshots would be A+.

DQ players if they do not start their match

Add proactive pinging of competitors

Allow specifying stations(/streams)

When calling a match with a station set (or setting the station for a match already in progress?), we can mention the players to inform them.

Add ability to limit signups to a single reaction on a specified message.

We can delete the tournament name optional param (since that can be changed in challonge after the fact) and replace it with this. If unspecified it can add everyone that reacted.

To avoid confusion we should support custom emojis from the get-go with this.

Add/Remove players from within discord

Need some sort of access control, maybe only accept it from the person that ran !begin?

Lets us add players after !begin and still have the discord-challonge association.

Recover from errors in the monitor_matches thread

Currently if an exception is raised it just permanently kills that coroutine.

Add some form of automated testing

Sanity checks are better than nothing, but some unit tests or similar would be nice.

Add a config file

Some of the constants at the top are more likely to be changed by TOs than others. Might as well make it a separate config file.

Add global rate limiting

Right now we set an arbitrary 10-second limit for how often we check challonge for any tournament. If we created a large number of tournaments though, we in theory could be rate-limited. Enforce some sort of intelligent global limits.

Pre-react to match call messages with check-in emoji

That way, players only need to click it instead of hunting for it in their emoji list.

Allow pair-challonge-username in the other direction

ie a TO manually adds via challonge instead of !add, so there's a challonge user without an accompanying discord id.

Add users to the tournament when they react to the invitation message

I started to do this in 8eeae09, but it's not done and needs work.
