Dashboard
Settings
Your account, your servers, and per-server settings: time zone, the role alerts ping, and quiet hours.
Server settings
Each server has its own settings page: open a server's alert rules and click Server settings, or use the buttons under "Server settings" on the account Settings page. You need "Manage Server" on that Discord server. Saved settings reach the alert pipeline within a minute.
Time zone
Pick the zone your community lives in. It controls:
- The hour an Edges of the Day rule posts (the rule form shows the zone next to each time)
- When quiet hours start and end
- Game start times shown in pre-game alert embeds
Default is Eastern (America/New_York). Existing Edges rules keep their post hour; changing the zone moves that hour to the new zone.
Alert ping (default role)
Choose a role and every scoring alert and daily Edges post in the server starts with @Role. The usual setup is an opt-in role (e.g. @Alerts or @TD Watch) members give themselves.
- Any rule can override it: in the rule form, Ping role offers "Server default", "No ping for this rule", or a specific role — so #nfl-alerts can ping @NFL while #nhl-goals pings @NHL.
- @everyone and integration-managed roles can't be selected.
- "Send Test" on a rule includes the ping so you can confirm the role fires before game day.
Quiet hours
A daily window (in the server's time zone; it can cross midnight, e.g. 11 PM → 8 AM) when live scoring alerts calm down. Choose what happens inside the window:
- Send alerts without the role ping (default) — the embeds still post, nobody gets notified.
- Don't send scoring alerts at all — alerts inside the window are dropped, not queued for later.
Quiet hours apply to channel scoring rules only. Edges of the Day posts go out at the hour you chose, personal /follow DMs are unaffected, and test alerts always send.
Alert managers
By default only members with Manage Server can open a server in the dashboard. Pick an Alert managers role and anyone holding it can create, edit, test, enable/disable and delete alert rules too — without being a Discord admin.
- Managers see the server on their dashboard home like any admin does.
- Only Manage Server can change Server settings themselves (time zone, pings, quiet hours, announcements, the managers role).
- Every rule card shows BY · name so you can see who set what up.
Pick'em
Pick'em threads open automatically from a Pick'em alert rule. Here you choose a Pick'em host role: members with it can run /pickem to open a thread for any upcoming game. Manage Server and the alert-manager role can always do that.
- 10 points per correct pick, +10 for a perfect pre-game card; streaks are tracked.

Bot announcements
A few times a season the bot posts one message about new features (new markets, commands, dashboard tools). Never ads. Choose where it lands:
- Auto (default) — the channel of your most active alert rule; if you have no rules, the server's system channel.
- A specific channel — pick any text or announcement channel.
- Off — untick "Receive bot announcements" and the server is skipped.
