Your first night

A checklist for running your first bracket on Smashy. Button names are written the way they appear on your event page.

Before the day

Make the event with Host an event: game, time, place, format, best of 3 or 5, a player cap, a check-in window if you want one, and your ruleset.
Share the event's link. For the venue, open Venue poster on your event page and print it: players scan it to sign up and check in.
Already took sign-ups on start.gg? On your event page, use Bring players over from start.gg and paste the event's link.
Add anyone helping you as a co-TO (Add co-TO, by their Smashy handle). They can check people in, seed, start the bracket and record results.
Streaming? Copy the overlay link from your event page into OBS or Streamlabs as a browser source (1280 × 160).
Play through the demo bracket once, from the player's side and the TO's side.

Players sign up and check in on their phones. If someone forgot to check in, tap Check in next to their name under Seeding.
No phone or no account? Add a walk-in with just their tag. You record their sets.
Set the seeding: move people up and down, or start from Last results (in a weekly series), By record, or Shuffle. Press Save seeding.
Have a TV or projector? Open Venue screen on your event page on a laptop plugged into it, and press Full screen. Before the bracket it shows the QR code to sign up; during it, who plays now and on which setup.
When everyone is in, press Start bracket. With check-in on, only checked-in players are in it.

Sets being called lists every set that is ready. Give each one a setup: type its number, or tap the suggestion. Put one on Stream if you are streaming.
Players strike stages and report games on their phones, or report the final score. Reported results wait under Results to confirm: press Confirm, or Confirm all when both players agree.
For a walk-in's set, or one played off the app, open the set and use Host: set the final result directly. The same place has the DQ button for a no-show.
A set waiting too long? Nudge the players. A player who needs you can press Call the host on their set.
Recorded something wrong? Open the set: Undo result, or Fix the result.
Need to tell everyone something? Use Message players on your event page.

Results post on the event page by themselves, and every player gets their placement.
Share them: Share the results posts them to your feed, and Copy results gives you text for Discord.
For your scene's rankings: Copy to Challonge (for Braacket), or send the ranking site the event's results file.
Press Run it again next week. Next week's event is made for you with the same co-TOs, and Last results seeds it from tonight.

The seeding was wrong and the bracket has started: If no results matter yet, press Reset bracket on your event page, fix the seeding and start again.
A player can't sign in or their phone died: Add them as a walk-in (before the bracket starts) and record their sets yourself.
Two players disagree about a result: Their set shows both reports. Open it and set the final result yourself.
Someone has to leave: Open their next set and DQ them. They are out of the bracket and their opponent moves on.
