Reading the Lineup

The lineup embed is the central display for your team's schedule and scores. It lives as a single message in the Discord channel and updates in place whenever anything changes.


Embed structure

Title

The embed title follows this format:

TeamName - Title
  • TeamName is set when the lineup is created via /lineup create.
  • Title is set by a manager using the Title button. It defaults to Schedule and is typically used for the opponent team's name.

Description

Below the title, the description shows:

Times are shown in your local timezone

Current Score: W-L

The current score is the total wins and losses across all slots. Each slot contributes up to 3 wins (a best-of-3 match).

Slot fields

Each league slot appears as its own field. A slot looks like this when fully filled in:

Slot Name [W-L]
Trainer: @username
Time: Saturday at 2:00 PM
  • Slot Name is determined by the league (e.g. Great League, EUIC Cup 1).
  • [W-L] shows the score for that slot. Unset scores show as 0-0 in italics.
  • Trainer shows the Discord mention of the assigned player, or ~not set~ if the slot is empty.
  • Time is a Discord timestamp — it renders in each viewer's own local timezone automatically. Shows ~not set~ if no time has been entered.

The footer always shows when the embed was last updated.

If the lineup has been reset at least once, an additional field is shown indicating who performed the last reset and when.


Buttons

The embed has three rows of buttons:

Admin buttons (red)

These are intended for the team manager. Any Discord user can press them, but they should be restricted by channel permissions in practice.

Button Action
Title Set the opponent team name shown in the embed title
Lineup Assign or change which player is in each slot
Override Score Correct a score for any slot
Reset Clear all match times and scores (keeps roster)

Utility button (grey)

Button Action
Update Your Timezone Change your saved timezone preference

Player buttons (blue)

These are for individual players. They only work if the pressing user has been assigned to a slot.

Button Action
Set Your Match Time Enter when your match is scheduled
Set Your Score Record your match result (0–3 wins)

Note

If you press a player button but are not in the lineup, you will see the message: "You are not currently part of the lineup, try again once you've been added."
