Wager mode

Wager is a game mode like Battle Royale, Resurgence and Matchpoint, but with a different structure: instead of accumulating points across matches, teams face each other in pairs on a knockout bracket. The loser is out, the winner advances.

Note

Wager is a mode, not a payment type. It works perfectly well without a prize pool, exactly like the other modes. If you want to charge an entry fee, that is a separate choice available on any mode: see the paid tournaments page.

How teams are formed

Wager supports teams of 1 to 4 players, in two ways.

ModeHow it worksWhen it fits
Pre-formedTeams register already formed.Stable squads that already play together.
DrawnPlayers register individually and get paired up.Open events, where not everyone has a team.

The bracket

Once teams are formed, NEMIX generates the bracket and advances it on its own: as soon as a match has a winner, that team moves to the next round.

  • Each round can be a single match or a best of three.
  • The typical choice is single early rounds and a best-of-three final.
  • Each match has its own channel, where teams find codes and announcements.

From the dashboard

Team size, registration type, number of teams and round formats are set from the dashboard, in the tournament wager section.

With or without a prize pool

Wager works as a format on its own: you can run it free, for the competition itself or for a prize you handle outside the bot. If instead you want to collect an entry fee and build a prize pool, that is a separate feature, and it applies to the other modes too.

Frequently asked questions

Does wager have to have an entry fee?

No. It is a game mode and can be run completely free. The entry fee is a separate feature, available on any mode.

How many teams do I need?

The bracket is generated from the number of registered teams. Powers of two keep it clean, but NEMIX handles other numbers too.

Can I use wager for 1v1?

Yes, just set team size to one player.

Does scoring work like the other modes?

No. In wager what counts is who wins the match, not accumulated points: the bracket advances on winners.
