Tournament rules
What each setting under âTournament Rulesâ does.
When a loss means you are out
- â3rd Place Matchâ: the two losers of the semi-finals play for third place.
- âBest-of Seriesâ: one match becomes several games. In a best of 3, the first to win 2 games wins the match.
- âTwo-legged tiesâ: both players meet twice, home and away. The higher total score wins. If it is still equal, a third match decides. You cannot use this together with best-of.
- âGrand Final Resetâ (only in Double Elimination): the player from the losers bracket has already lost once. So this player must win the final twice.
When you play in a table
- âDouble Round Robinâ: everyone meets twice, home and away.
- âPoints Systemâ: choose the points for a win, a draw, and a loss. Normally this is 3, 1, and 0.
- âTie-Breaker Priorityâ: choose what decides when players have the same points. Drag the rules into the order you want.
- âTable zonesâ: colored areas in the table, for example for promotion. They do not change the result. Set a zone to 0 to turn it off.
Rounds and groups
- âNumber of Roundsâ (Swiss System): âAutoâ picks a good number for you. The app warns you if players would have to meet again.
- âGroup Sizeâ: 3 to 8 players per group. The app shows you the groups and warns you if they are not the same size.
- âAdvance per Groupâ: how many players from each group move on to the knockout stage.
Places and times
You can plan where and when matches take place. Open âTournament Settingsâ and find âWhere and whenâ. Enter the number of places, such as fields or tables, the match length, the break, and the first match. You do not have to use this.
