My server crashed and players lost their items

There is a system in place that stores the players inventories and you can give those items back. See Admincommands#wiki-Listing_a_players_saved_inventories

What's the difference between Matches and Events

The primary difference is how they are started by default, and how you join.

• Matches have a waiting queue, and the competition will start when enough people join
• Events are usually started by an admin, where there is an announcement and a phase where people can join.

What makes it tricky is there are a lot of options to start both in different ways. Matches can be started with defaultOptions.matchEnableForceStart: true which will make the game start after a set time as long as the minimum number of teams have joined. Events can be started with defaultOptions.allowPlayerCreation which allows them to auto start their own events. Events can also skip the join phase by enabling a ready block defaultOptions.enablePlayerReadyBlock: true
