Announcing the VPC Tournament

To drive more tournament interest, use the scheduler to message the #competition-corner channel on Discord of the currently active tournament every Tuesday at midnight.

---

Expanded Spec

Problem

There is currently no automated way to generate community interest for active tournaments. Manually messaging the #competition-corner channel is inconsistent, and players may miss active events.

Acceptance Criteria

• Automation: Add a new cron job in src/services/scheduler.js that triggers every Tuesday at 12:00 AM (midnight) Pacific Time.
• Functionality:
  • Query active tournaments using findActiveTournaments from src/services/database.js.
  • If active tournaments exist, format them using buildTournamentListEmbed from src/lib/tournaments/embed.js.
  • Send the generated embed to the COMPETITION_CHANNEL_ID.
• Handling: Ensure the bot handles cases where no active tournaments are found gracefully (e.g., skip sending or send a "no active tournaments" notification).

Notes for implementer

• Use node-cron in src/services/scheduler.js, mirroring the syntax of initScheduledJobs.
• Ensure the job respects the America/Los_Angeles timezone as per existing jobs in the same file.
• The COMPETITION_CHANNEL_ID is already imported and available in scheduler.js.
• Reuse buildTournamentListEmbed which is already imported in scheduler.js and designed for this purpose.
