Feature catalog

Everything Tempo does, in the order you'll need it.

Grouped by the job, not the command. Each section starts with what it does for your league and lists the commands underneath. Pick a sport. Nearly every section here can be switched off if your league doesn't run it.

Setup

Empty server to week one, without a checklist.

One guided setup

A single wizard walks through league name, channels, staff roles, join and leave messages, and which features you want. Re-run it any time to change an answer. Nothing is locked in on day one.

/setup run

Your league, already loaded

All 134 FBS programs or all 32 Madden teams, seeded with abbreviations, team colors and a starting conference layout you can realign in one command. You pick the set; Tempo fills in the rest.

A setup check that finds what's missing

Audits your saved configuration against the live server and names what is unset or broken. A deleted channel, a missing role, a permission somebody revoked. You find out before your coaches do.

/setup status

Turn off what you don't run

Points, upgrades, drafts, rivalries, Game of the Week, the rulebook, the open-teams board and schedule posts each toggle independently. Switched-off commands disappear from the Discord picker entirely.

Rename without starting over

Change the league name and every embed, board and welcome message follows.

/setup name

Teams & coaches

Who runs what, and what's still open.

Assign a team, get the role

Give a coach a program and Tempo creates the Discord role, colors it to the team, and applies it. Removing them hands the team back.

/team assign/team remove

A recruiting board that updates itself

A live list of every program still available, posted in its own channel and edited whenever a team changes hands. That includes when someone rage-quits the server at 2am and their program comes back on the board without you.

/openteams/team open/team close

Open the whole board at once

Start a recruiting cycle in one command instead of clicking through teams one at a time. Works per conference too.

/team openall/team closeall/conference open/conference close

Realign to match your league

Move teams between conferences, rename a conference, or see the whole alignment with team counts. Your league doesn't have to match real life.

/conference move/conference rename/conference list

Hand-edited roles stay in sync

If someone adds or strips a team role manually in Discord, Tempo notices and updates its own records to match. It also reconciles every role on startup, so a restart repairs drift instead of causing it, and you can force a resync yourself.

/team syncroles

One card per coach

Team, points balance, upgrade history and record in a single card that any member can pull up.

/profile

Edit any team's details

Name, conference, abbreviation, colors, rating and notes. For custom teams, relocations, or fixing the typo you have been looking at all season.

/team edit/team info

Welcome & departures

The first thing a new coach sees, and the cleanup when one leaves.

Write your own welcome message

Not a fixed greeting you toggle on. The actual text is yours, with inserts that resolve to your real channels, so a new coach gets pointed at your rules, your league info and your open-teams board by name.

And your own leaving message

The same control over departures. The default announces who left and which team just opened up.

You never have to open the template

Both messages ship with wording that already reads well and already contains the right inserts. Pick your channels in the setup wizard and the defaults are good enough to leave alone.

A departing coach frees their team

When someone leaves the server, their program is released automatically and the open-teams board refreshes. No stale roster, no orphaned role.

See it exactly as they will

Preview both messages fully rendered, with real channel links and your real league name, before anyone joins.

/welcome preview

Drafts

Signup through final pick, run in the server.

Signups with a button

Post a signup board and coaches join or leave by clicking it. The board survives bot restarts, so a redeploy mid-signup costs you nothing.

/draft open/draft join/draft leave/draft list

Order revealed one pick at a time

Close signups and run the randomized order. It's shuffled once and stored, then revealed with suspense rather than dumped as a list.

/draft close/draft start

On the clock, and pinged for it

Coaches pick their program in order. Whoever is up gets mentioned by name, and picks are validated against what's actually available. The selection board can be reposted at any time.

/draft selection/draft pick/draft board

Keep it moving

Skip a coach who's gone quiet, re-run an order if you have to, and post the final results.

/draft advance/draft reroll/draft results

Week to week

Deadlines, storylines and reasons to show up.

Schedule posts that count themselves down

Post the week with the advance deadline as a Discord timestamp. It renders in every coach's own timezone and ticks down on its own, so nobody asks what time that is for them.

/schedule

Rivalries with an all-time record

Coaches can challenge each other directly and accept with a button, or you can set a series yourself. Every result is kept, so the record and streak follow the series season to season. A rivalry that's run its course gets archived rather than deleted.

/rivalry invite/rivalry set/rivalry result/rivalry list/rivalry archive

Game of the Week voting

Put the headline matchup up for a server-wide vote. Record the winner and everyone who picked right is paid automatically, including the members who don't hold a team.

/gotw create/gotw close/gotw winner/gotw list

Coaches announce their own streams

A coach saves their Twitch channel once, then runs the command on its own whenever they go live. Tempo posts the announcement with a watch button, so nobody has to dig up the link. Saving or correcting a channel never pings the server, and going live is capped at once an hour per coach.

/stream

Points & upgrades

The league economy, if you run one.

Points with a reason on every line

Award, deduct or set a balance outright, each with a reason attached.

/points add/points remove/points set

A ledger anyone can check

Every point in and out is appended, never rewritten. Balance disputes end in ten seconds because the coach can look it up themselves.

/points history

Coaches spend points on ratings

The cost scales with how many rating points they're buying, at a per-point rate you set. Requests land in a queue instead of your DMs.

/upgrade

Approve or decline from your phone

Every request is a card with buttons. The cost is held the moment a request goes in, so the same points can't be spent twice, and a decline refunds them automatically and exactly once.

/upgradepending/upgradehistory

43 ratings out of the box, or your own list

Ships with EA's skill ratings across seven categories: passing, receiving, ball carrying, blocking, defense, special teams and athleticism. Add your own, rename one, or remove any you don't allow. Removed ones stay readable in old history.

/attribute list/attribute add/attribute rename/attribute remove

Rules & announcements

The things people ask about twice a week.

A starter rulebook, pulled up by section

Tempo ships a standard dynasty ruleset in five sections: starting off, gameplay, fourth down, scheduling games and violations. Anyone can read it in the server without hunting for a pin. It is a starting point, not a custom rulebook. If your league already wrote its own, switch this off and keep your own.

/rules

Announce as Tempo

Write in a popup and post it to any channel as the bot, with mentions under your control.

/say

Clean up a channel

Bulk-delete recent messages, optionally only from one member.

/clear

Staff controls & safety

Control, accountability and the boring-but-important parts.

Commissioners without Administrator

Name the roles that count as staff. Your commissioners get Tempo's staff commands without being handed the keys to the whole server.

A log of every staff action

Team changes, point adjustments, upgrade decisions, draft events and conference moves all post to a channel you choose. When a coach insists you never took those points off him, you have the line.

Your league's data is yours

Every setting, team, balance and transaction is scoped to your server. Nothing is shared or visible between leagues.

Billing never leaves the server

The same command subscribes the server and, once it is active, hands you a button into Stripe's billing portal to change the card or cancel. If a renewal fails you get seven days before commands lock, not an outage mid-season.

/activate

Turn on what you need. Ignore the rest.

Most of what is on this page is optional. /setup run lets you pick, and you can change your mind mid-season without starting over. A switched-off feature's commands disappear from the Discord picker entirely, so your coaches never see an option that does nothing. $24.99 per year, per server, whichever sport you run.
