Getting Started
1. Join 👥 Discord
Tournament announcements and communication are posted on Discord. Being present during tournaments is highly recommended.
2. Read 📄 Guidlines
Familiarize yourself with tournament rules and structure. You don’t need to learn everything at once.
3. Sign up for a 🏆 Tournament
Choose an event, select the one that suits you, and join. Tournaments typically last 3–4 hours.
Event Flow
1️⃣ Announcement
A short announcement about upcoming tournaments is posted on Discord, with a link to the event page containing full details — including date, time, platform, format, and player limit.
2️⃣ Registration
Players register on Discord or via Limitless. Registration usually closes 15 minutes before the tournament. If the player limit is reached, additional participants are placed on a waiting list.
3️⃣ Check-in
Check-in begins 15 minutes before the tournament start time. This confirms attendance and continues until the event begins.
4️⃣ Rounds
Pairings are announced at the scheduled time. Players contact their opponent and begin their match. A round ends once all matches are completed. The next round starts immediately afterward. Each round announcement is posted on Discord.
5️⃣ Results
After each round, results are reported and entered into the bracket by organizers, judges, or automatically through Limitless.
6️⃣ Tournament End
When the tournament concludes, the winner and final standings are announced.
7️⃣ Feedback
After the event, optional feedback is collected to help improve future tournaments.
Next Step
After your first tournament, you can continue participating in future events, test new teams, or simply play at your own pace. Regular tournaments help players gradually adapt to the competitive environment and structure.
Over time, many players begin experimenting with different teams, learning the meta, and observing strategies from other participants. Lanakila aims to be a place where players can improve through consistent play.
