PICK'EM BOT

After two years of running manual pick'em games for a group of friends, I decided to learn to code and make a bot to do the work for me. This bot allows users to run custom games with just a few commands.

Getting Started

After inviting the bot to your server there are a couple of steps that need to be completed.

1: An admin will need to run the /assign_role command to identify a game-runner role for each sport utilized.

2: A game-runner will then need to use /setup to identify a channel in which the leaderboard and games will post. They will also have the option of defining a role that the bot can tag when new games are posted.

Game Play

Now that things are set up, a game-runner can use /post to post the first set of games. Depending on the sport, there will be a variety of options with this command. Each game in the designated period will post a message with buttons for each team; these will be used to submit picks. If a button is clicked after a game has begun, the buttons will become disabled and the pick will not count.

A game-runner can use /lock to manually disable any game that has already begun. This will update the game messages with the pick distributions.

Once games have been completed, the game-runner can use /update that will score each game with the result and update the leaderboard.

Additional features and commands can be found in the documentation. Join the support server for more information, requests, complaints, or just to hang out!
