What kind? Teams Scheduled games between teams, in as many rooms as you need. Collects rosters, packets, live stats and errata. Shootout Optimized for Discord: everyone for themselves, a buzz queue, typed answers and a chat. Starts with one room; add more from the console.

Tournament name Date List on Klaxon's own public tournament directory, so moderators browsing Klaxon can find this tournament and request to join it

Scoring format

Tossup point scheme Bonuses Live scoresheet for players (questions already read) Show categories on the scoresheet (after each cycle) Show question text after it's read Record every buzz, including ones that lost the race

MODAQ uses this format by default.

MASSINGER pick/ban before each game

Round packets optional

Upload several .json packets at once — each file's name becomes the round label. Rounds start hidden from moderators; release them from the director console.With one room (the usual shootout) it can read them right away, in this order; with more, you release them as in a team tournament. Still have .docx files? The packet parser converts them.

Require readers to have a director-approved account to access these packets

Roster optional

Paste from your registration spreadsheet, or upload a registration QBJ. MODAQ rooms default to it, and you can edit it later in the director console.
