Matches & Brackets

Reading the bracket

Every event has a live bracket page. Matches are grouped by round (double elimination shows a winners and a losers bracket). A dash (—) means the slot is still TBD — its feeder match hasn't finished. Byes are applied automatically when the field isn't a power of two; top seeds get them first.

Scores, advancements, and match states update live — no refreshing needed.

Your match room

Each match has its own page at /m/<match-id> — your hub for the match: who you're playing, the current state, score reporting, and (on supported Riot titles) official result verification.

For team matches, any roster member can act for the team.

Reporting scores

Score reporting is two-sided so no one can submit a result unilaterally:

1. When your match is ready (both sides decided), either side reports the score from the match room. Ties aren't allowed in elimination formats.
2. The other side confirms the reported score. You can't confirm your own report.
3. On confirmation the match is finalized: the winner advances, the bracket updates live, XP is awarded, and any predictions settle.

If the opponent reported a wrong score, don't confirm — report the correct score instead or raise it with the host.

Disputes

Can't agree on a result? The event host can resolve any match directly (host rulings override reports). If something bigger is wrong — cheating, identity issues — use the report tools; disputes escalate to GamerHosts admins who can inspect and rule on the match.

Official result verification (Riot titles)

On supported Riot titles, the match room can verify results against the official Riot match record — both players' linked accounts are matched to the game's actual outcome. When verification is available, use it: a verified result can't be disputed by a wrong report.

Predictions

Spectators (and players not in the match) can predict the winner of a ready match from the match room. Predictions lock when the match finalizes; correct picks earn XP. It's for bragging rights — there is no wagering on GamerHosts.
