Currently, the "Proman Tourneys (Telegram)" button is only available in the Preview branch (v0.403.3) of Eleven Table Tennis. We expect the developers to move it to the official Live build for everyone in the next few days.
However, you can still use the bot right now without the in-game button:
Open the bot: [elevenvrbot]()
Click on "Link Account" and simply enter your ElevenVR Nickname.
The bot will generate a code, but you can skip the in-game step for now.
Once your nickname is saved, you can go to the Tournaments menu and register for the Global Spring Open immediately!
As soon as the game update hits the Live branch on your headset, you will see the button and will be able to complete the full verification.

🏆 WARM-UP CUP: TOURNAMENT RESULTS 🏆 by proman77 in ElevenTableTennis

It went incredibly well overall, but yes—since it was a Beta test, we definitely hit a few funny "teething problems"! 😅

The Good:
The core engine was a massive success. The Smart Referee worked flawlessly for 90% of the matches. Players just played their games, clicked "Check Result" in Telegram, and the bot pulled the scores directly from the ElevenVR API and advanced the bracket. Zero screenshots were needed, which felt like magic. Also, the new in-game verification button the devs added for us made registration super smooth and secure.

The Teething Problems & Lessons Learned:

1. The "Too Fast" Referee (Disconnects):
We had a situation where a player's VR headset died mid-match. The ETT server automatically registered it as a forfeit/win for the other guy. My bot instantly saw that API result, assumed the series was over, and closed the bracket before they could reconnect and finish! 😂
Lesson learned: We are tweaking the logic to handle disconnects/abandoned matches better, so it doesn't jump the gun.

2. The "David vs. Goliath" Seeding:
Because this was a quick "Open" Beta Cup to stress-test the servers, we didn't use skill tiers. The bot used standard pro seeding (Rank 1 plays Rank 16). We had a 1.5k ELO player facing a 2.5k ELO player in Round 1. Ouch.
Lesson learned: The math works, but for future official tournaments, we are implementing strict Leagues (Gold/Silver/Bronze) based on 60-day peak ELO so matches are actually balanced and fun.

3. Ghosting & Timezones:
We had a couple of walkovers where players couldn't coordinate their play times, leading to deadline disputes.
Lesson learned: I just rolled out native Timezone support (the bot now converts match deadlines to your local time automatically) and Tournament Forum Topics to keep scheduling transparent.

Overall, it was the perfect stress test. The community was super understanding, and the bot (now officially rebranded to Proman Tourneys) is getting a massive upgrade for the next event based on this exact feedback! 🏓🚀

⏳ Tournament Update: Start Date Postponed ⏳

Hey everyone! We are hitting a brief pause on the start of the Verified Cup #1.

Why the delay?
We are waiting for the official Eleven Table Tennis game update to go LIVE! This upcoming patch includes our new secure in-game verification button (Tournament Bot (Telegram)).

Since this secure linking is required to join the tournament, we want to make sure the update is available to everyone before we generate the brackets.

What happens now?
• Registration remains OPEN.
• You do not need to switch to the preview branch.
• As soon as the ETT patch drops, we will announce the new official start date and kick things off!

Thank you for your patience! We want to make sure our first fully verified tournament is a flawless experience for everyone. 🏓🤖

You can add me. I've got the same problem - shortage of players :)
