Player Guide

Last updated: June 06, 2026

Read through all the information posted at the top of your division channel. It provides details on your opponents, your moderator, and deadlines for the season, as well as handy links to resources you’ll need. These posts will be pinned for easy access.
Fill in the check-in form (pinned in your division channel) to confirm that you’ll be playing and provide an overview of your availability.
Use your division channel to contact your opponents to arrange your matches. Tag the whole division so that all your opponents will get a notification. Example post:

Ruapadi being a fantastic scheduler

Be proactive about scheduling! Asking if someone is online to play spontaneously does not often work well, so you should regularly post your upcoming availability in your division channel; make sure to tag the division or specific players. If you decline an opponent’s suggestion for a time to play, offer another in response.
Once you’ve arranged a time with an opponent, add your match to the matches calendar using the Calendar form pinned in your division channel. This helps your moderator to keep track of scheduling progress and additionally allows for spectators; they might be willing to share their discussions from the game chat afterwards to help you learn and improve.
For answers to questions about scheduling, see Section 3 of the FAQ.

Create a new table on dominion.games, or find your opponent’s table by adding them to your friend list and then clicking Join next to their name on the Automatch tab. It is also possible to search through the list of tables, but remember that usernames are case-sensitive.
If you created the table, in most cases you just need to enable the “League Match” option, and you’ll be ready to play. If you are playing an extra/non-standard match (i.e. a tiebreaker), or are unable to use the “League Match” option for any reason, you’ll need to tweak a few other settings. See Section 4.5 of the rules for more information.
If you and your opponent both want to, you can change certain other table settings (see Section 4.7 of the rules).
Each match consists of six games.
After the first game, if you aren’t using the “League Match” option, turn off “Random player order” and set the player order manually each game so that you alternate who goes first.
Immediately after you’ve finished a playing session, report the results using the Results form (pinned in your division channel). Only one player should report the results; typically the winner does this, unless you agree otherwise. Report the games you’ve just played even if the match is not complete. Later, when you’ve played the remaining games, only report the new games; the system will add everything together.
For answers to questions about playing matches, see Section 4 of the FAQ.

You can message @DomBot on Discord to see information about your division and games you’ve played.
The bot responds to messages that start with an exclamation mark (!), in your division channel or in a DM.
For example, !standings shows the current standings for your division, and !match <player1>, <player2> shows recent games between two players. This can be useful if, for example, you don’t remember the match score or which player went first.
DomBot will also respond automatically to results submissions to confirm that the games on record match up with the report.
Message !help to @DomBot for a full list of commands and help with using them!
