An Event Organizer's Best Friend
A complete, all-in-one home for everyone at the field.
Who I am
I'm Brandon Darby, MLGAnakin, from Vancouver, BC. I created and ran the Axie Infinity World Championships at AxieCon 2022 in Barcelona, with $1 million USD in prize pools. Format, schedule, qualification process, prize pool breakdowns, rules and on-site operations: all of it.
The biggest thing I took from running world championship events is that whether an event runs smooth or hectic comes down to the prep. When the schedule, the rules and the tools are right before day one, the day runs itself. Esports Authority is everything I wish I'd had, built for the people who run tournaments and leagues every weekend.
More about me“Brandon was instrumental to the execution of the esports operations at AxieCon 2022 in Barcelona. He designed a complex system of qualifiers that allowed us to run a robust and dynamic tournament with an exciting LAN finals. He has skills as a tournament designer, administrator, and project manager.”
No more 1am spreadsheets
No reprinted schedules or "when do we play next?" at the tech table. Build your entire tournament weekend, or a 20+ week league, in minutes. Every match from groups to grand finals is generated instantly, easy to edit, and updates live as things change, so you can see your entire event, start to finish, before it goes live.
Brackets fill themselves
Advanced formulas to choose from, so you control the exact group sizes, bracket sizes and which group feeds where, with a live bracket preview right below.
An automatic "does it fit" panel tells you right away whether your event fits your fields and hours, with quick buttons to adjust. There's even a "Make it fit for me" button, but use it with care: squeeze too many teams onto too few fields and the computer can cook up some funky rules and brackets.
Almost the entire site is free
The only thing locked is creating long, multi-month leagues. Weekend tournaments are free for organizers to create and free for captains and fans to follow.
