How to Export Your Tournament Roster to Challonge, start.gg and Battlefy
By KITAMEN Esports Solutions • June 2026
Executive Summary
- Re-typing every team name into your bracket tool is slow and a classic source of typos and missing entrants.
- One-click roster export hands your approved list straight to Challonge, start.gg, Battlefy or Toornament.
- KITAMEN ONE runs everything up to the bracket and then exports cleanly; it does not replace your bracket software.
Deep Dive: Exporting your roster the right way
KITAMEN ONE deliberately does not run the bracket. It runs everything around it and then hands off your roster in the exact format each bracket tool wants, in one click. Filter to approved entrants first so only eligible teams make the bracket.
| Format | For | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| Copy name list | Challonge paste-add, start.gg bulk add | Participant or team names, ready to paste |
| Battlefy teams CSV | Battlefy “Import Teams” | Team name, player, email (one row per player) |
| Generic CSV | Toornament and others | Name, email, country, team |
| Full registrations CSV | Your own records | Every field and custom answer |
The CSVs are written with a UTF-8 byte-order mark so they open cleanly in Excel without garbled characters, a small detail that saves a lot of reformatting. The point is a clean handoff, not a lock-in: keep running matches in the bracket tool your players already know.
Local Insight: Plays nice with the tools the scene uses
Malaysian organizers already run brackets on Challonge, start.gg, Battlefy and Toornament. The goal is not to make them switch; it is to stop the soul-destroying re-typing between the sign-up sheet and the bracket. A one-click export means the roster you approved is the roster in the bracket, with no transcription errors at 11pm the night before.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export a tournament roster to Challonge or start.gg?
Use a tool that exports the roster in the format the bracket wants. On KITAMEN ONE you click to copy a clean name list and paste it straight into Challonge’s paste-add or start.gg’s bulk add, so you are not re-typing names. You can filter to approved entrants first.
Can I import teams into Battlefy or Toornament?
Yes. KITAMEN ONE exports a Battlefy-formatted teams CSV (team name, player, email per row) for Battlefy’s Import Teams, and a generic CSV (name, email, country, team) that works with Toornament and others. The CSVs are Excel-safe.
Does KITAMEN ONE run the bracket itself?
No, by design. KITAMEN ONE runs everything around the bracket, from sign-ups to payouts, and exports your roster in one click to a dedicated bracket tool like Challonge, start.gg, Battlefy or Toornament, where you run the matches.
Can I export only approved teams?
Yes. You can filter to approved registrations before exporting, so ineligible or unverified entrants never make it into the bracket. Only the teams you have cleared get handed off.
