Here is a list of things that need to be completed before your students can compete in a tournament. This list has been created with regard to a school representative managing the team.
1. Creating an account - only new users
2. Creating your team
3. Joining Battle Of The Bands community
4. Inviting members to your team
5. Creating rosters
6. Purchasing the passes for your team - if the school is paying for the passes
7. Registering your rosters into the tournament
Below you can find a detailed description of each step.
1. Creating an account - only new users.
Both school officials and students need to sign up for a Generation Esports account: Sign Up
The sign up process requires you to fill out the registration form and verify your email. Once you do that, you can log in to your account.
2. Creating your team
If you currently have a team that belongs to another community, you will have to create a new team for BOTB. To create a team, complete the following steps:
- Select Teams on the left side of your dashboard
- Choose Create Team from the drop down menu
- Enter your team name, and upload a logo (optional)
- Be sure to click save in the upper right-hand corner
- Congratulations! Your team has been created!
3. Joining Battle Of The Bands community
Only the team owner is required to join BOTB community with their team. All members of that team will automatically be considered a part of that community, when the team is approved. In order to join as a team, you have to:
- Select Communities from the left-hand side panel.
- Search for the Battle Of The Bands High School or Battle Of The Bands Middle School depending on your school type.
- Hit the plus sign icon on the top right-hand corner of the tile to start the joining process.
- Choose to join as a Team and select the team you created in step 2.
- Agree to the community guidelines and fill out all necessary information on the form.
After that, your application will be reviewed by our representative and approved/denied. You will receive an email notification in either case. The process takes approximately one to two days.
4. Inviting members to your team
While your approval to join the BOTB community is pending, it's a good time to send team invites to your students. Go to the Team section by clicking on Teams and choosing the right team from the drop-down
- Click the Members tab and then the 'Add Members' button to invite others to join.
- This will generate a popup, giving you two options for inviting a team member, either through an email or direct link.
- Add the email address of the player you wish to invite if you want to send an email invite and hit send. You can send invites to multiple students at once if you wish.
- Generate an invite link if you prefer to share the link with your players. They will be able to join by clicking on that link. - Your players must accept the invite and have their accounts created in order to show up under your members list.
At this point you should communicate to your players that they need to accept their team invites, and add game connections to their profiles.
Students can add game connections to their profile by selecting Connect Games from the left-hand side panel on the dashboard and choosing the Add Game Connection button. In the pop-up that appears they will need to select the game they wish to compete in, and type their in-game name in the Screen Name field below. The Screen Name field should match their nickname they use while playing that specific game.
5. Creating rosters
This step requires you to have all members of your team ready to play. This means they must have accepted your team invite and created game connections for games they are going to compete in.
- While looking at your team's page, select the Rosters button on top of the page, and then slightly below Create New button.
- Fill out the roster name and choose the game this roster is for.
- Hit the Add Members button and select all members you want to add to this roster. Please note that you will only see members who added a game connection to their profile corresponding to your game selection on the roster. If you do not see a team member on the list, they still may have to set their game connections for that game.
- When you are done adding members to the roster, make sure you check the check boxes found below and hit the Save button to create your roster.
Things to note: - Rosters for team games have a limit of double the minimum players required, minus 1.
- Players competing in solo games (1 vs 1) can register as individuals, therefore don't need to be on a roster. Once they add their game connections, they can simply register for a tournament on their own.
- If you are registering your solo players into the tournament, you will have to put them on a roster (you can put all players for that solo game into one roster). Solo games can not have substitute players, so each player will be enrolled into the tournament as a solo player when that roster is registered.
6. Purchasing the passes for your team
If your students are purchasing their own passes, this step can be skipped and your students should be responsible for obtaining the pass.
- From your Dashboard click on the Purchase Passes on the left side panel.
- Choose the BOTB pass corresponding to your school type (HS or MS).
- Go through the purchase process and make sure to purchase enough passes for all your players (every player needs a pass assigned), and choose to purchase the passes for the team you created in step 2
If you haven't done so during the purchase process, you will have to assign a pass to each of your players.
- Go to Teams, selecting your BOTB team and choose Battle Pass Inventory from the buttons on top and select the battle pass you want to assign
- Assign passes to the appropriate members of your team
7. Registering your rosters into the tournament
Once your rosters are ready and passes are assigned, it is now time to enroll them into the tournament.
- While looking at your Dashboard click Communities on the left-hand side panel and then select Battle Of The Bands community which you should be a part of
- From the BOTB community page, select Tournaments in order to see all tournaments for various games in this community
- Select the game you want to compete in to register for that tournament
- From the new page that you are taken to, select Register Now and select the roster you want to enroll - please remember that the roster you select must match the tournament you selected (e.g. you won't be able to enroll a roster you created for Rocket League into the NBA tournament).
You will have to repeat this process for every roster that you want to enroll.
