What was breaking?

A league night meant two volunteers babysitting cfg files. Captains could not start matches without admin help, and demo upload was manual.

Solution

How we built it

We deployed get5 with a Discord-bot match boot command, tuned cfg for tournament play, set up GOTV at proper bitrates, automated demo upload to R2, and pre-loaded the workshop map cycle.

Outcome

What changed

Captains now boot matches in under 30 seconds. Admin staffing dropped from two volunteers to one optional admin. Demo retrieval is instant from the league dashboard.
