Command Basics​

All NeatQueue commands are slash commands, which means they are invoked using a / prefix.

Example commands:

/startqueue
/info
/leaderboard

Simply type / in Discord and start typing the command name to see available options.

Understanding Arguments​

In this documentation, argument notation follows these conventions:

  • [required] - Arguments in square brackets are required
  • (optional) - Arguments in parentheses are optional

Example:

/startqueue [name] [team_size] [number_of_teams]

All three arguments are required.

/config save [name] (description)

Name is required, description is optional.

Permissions and Roles​

Admin Commands​

Any Admin command requires one of the following:

  • User has Manage Channels permission in Discord
  • User has one of the configured NeatQueue staff roles

You can configure custom staff roles to allow certain users to manage queues without giving them Discord admin permissions.

Queue-Specific Commands​

Important

All commands are queue specific unless otherwise stated. This means when you run a command in a queue channel, it only affects that queue.

Some commands work server-wide or across channels:

  • /link - Links a channel to a queue in another channel
  • /leaderboardconfig sharedstats serverwide - Applies stats server-wide
  • Server management commands

Core Concepts​

What is MMR?​

MMR stands for Match Making Rating. It's a hidden rating system used by most competitive games to measure player skill.

In NeatQueue:

  • Players start with a default MMR (configurable)
  • MMR increases with wins, decreases with losses
  • Teams are balanced based on MMR
  • Rankings and leaderboards are determined by MMR

See the MMR and Ranks guide for detailed information.

Queue Types​

NeatQueue supports multiple queue types:

  • PUGs (Pick-Up Games) - Players join individually
  • Matchmaking - MMR-based player matching
  • Team vs Team - Pre-formed teams compete
  • Select Team On Join - Players choose their team when joining

See the Setup Guide for details on each type.

Stats System​

Player statistics are tracked and stored based on unique identifiers. This allows you to:

  • Share stats across multiple queues
  • Keep separate stats for different game types
  • Link queues together or keep them independent

Default behavior: Stats are tied to the queue name.

Example scenarios:

  • "Rocket League" queue and "Overwatch" queue have independent stats
  • "Ranked 5v5" and "Casual 5v5" can share stats if configured

For comprehensive information on stats management, see the Leaderboard and Stats guide.
