#Tournament

Quaver provides customizable tournament settings and skin elements for the players who want to host a tournament.

• Skin Elements
• Settings.ini

#How do I start setting up my tournament?

• First, you must have a Tournament folder in Quaver directory. This is where you will place the required files to start setting up the tournament settings in multiplayer.

• Second, make sure that you place these files in Tournament folder:

• settings.ini
• tournament-overlay.png
• winner-1.png
• winner-2.png

• Third, make sure that you have selected the custom tournament skin in the Skin settings for both Custom Skin and Co-op Player 2 Skin.

• It is advised that the skins loaded for the tournament use a different color per player.
• In default settings, the Custom Skin/Player 1 Skin uses red color while Co-op Player 2 Skin uses blue color.

After setting up the miscellaneous assets for tournament, you may now start configuring the tournament settings by adjusting values in settings.ini file. In order to know how the values work in the file, please go to Settings.ini tab.

Other skinnable elements may be found in the Skin Elements tab.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Make sure to go into Settings and turn Display 1v1 Playfield Scores off and turn Display 1v1 Tournament Overlay on.
• In Settings.ini, under the [MatchRound] setting, you must set MatchRoundCustomText to the current round of the tournament.
  • For example, if the round of the tournament is Semi-Finals, you must set the value to Semi-Finals.
• Under the [BestOf] setting, you must set BestOfCustomText to the current best of count such as B07, BO11, etc.
• You must update these values each round of the tournament.
• Keep track of all your original settings so you can switch back to them after streaming.
• Keep in mind that adjusting any values in settings.ini will update the tournament overlay in real time.

#Setting up the tournament for streaming/recording

As for the tournament timer in stream, Snaz is recommended to use for countdowns. You may check their wiki to install the program.

OBS is a recommended program used for streaming or recording tournament in Quaver and Snaz has a tutorial on how to set up the program for OBS.

• To set up the timer, open Snaz and go to Countdown to specific time. Set the output format to $m:$s and Msg when done to 00:00.

• Click Copy Path to Clipboard. In OBS, create a Time Counter source where you can set up the timer in the Scene. To set the counter, open the source, click Browse, and paste the path next to the "File name". Then, click Open.

NOTES:

• Snaz counts down to a specific time. You should set this time before starting the stream. Usually it will be the current day on the next hour.
• For Example: If the match is at 10:00 UTC 02/26/2022, you should set the Snaz to that time so it'll start counting down to it.
