Counter-Strike 2
With the CS2 module, Auto Tournament loads each match on your CS2 servers, and the match plugin reports every round, the result and the demo back. These are the plugins and tools that run on the servers.
Plugins and tools

Auto Tournament CS2
The older CS2 plugin, on Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp. What Auto Tournament 2.x talks to; 3.0 moves to Ready Up.
What Ready Up does
Everything Ready Up does in a match. Each feature is its own small plugin on top of a tiny core, so you run only what you need and CS2 updates only touch the core.
Running the match
Ready up and go live
Players type .r to ready up; once enough of each team is ready, a countdown runs and the match goes live on its own.
plugin: match
Knife round and side pick
The knife round winner picks a side, or chooses to stay, switch or swap, before the match starts.
plugin: match
Tactical and tech pauses
.pause and .unpause for a tactical break; a tech pause covers a broken PC or connection instead.
plugin: match
Forfeit on a no-show
If a team does not come back within a set time, the match ends in a forfeit.
plugin: match
Call an admin
.admin [message] pings the admins on duty and tells them what happened.

Admins and fairness
Admin commands
Admins get their own command set, from adding admins to running a raw console command, kept in a small file with no database.
plugin: essentials
Round backups and restore
Every round is backed up; an admin can restore any of them with .restore <round> if something goes wrong.
plugin: match
Crash and restart recovery
If the server crashes or restarts mid-match, the live match, score and stats carry on from where they left off.
plugin: match
Only listed players join
Full bundle onlyA whitelist keeps a practice or scrim server to the players on the list; a loaded match roster decides once a match starts.
plugin: whitelist
Map and server commands
Admins change, reload or restart the map from chat; it refuses to during a live map unless forced.
plugin: essentials
After the match
Demos, recorded automatically
GOTV demos record for every map and stream to the platform as they record, so there is no upload wait at the end.

Running a tournament? That’s Auto Tournament.

Free for non-commercial use
For players, clubs, schools and non-profit events.
Earning money from your event? You need a license — every server running Ready Up counts. See pricing
Spares count too. The license is sized by how many game servers you run, and CS2 Server Manager counts every server it set up.
The license key is checked offline and never blocks, disables or slows anything.
The Auto Tournament CS2 plugin is MIT licensed and never needs a license on its own.
