Formats

Choose the bracket format that best fits your event size and structure. Each format has different implications for how many matches are played and how a winner is determined.

Single Elimination

The standard bracket format. One loss and you are out. The last team standing wins the tournament.

Best for: Large player pools, fast events, and situations where you want a clear, quick path to a champion. Requires fewer total matches than other formats.

Double Elimination

Players compete in both a winners bracket and a losers bracket. You must lose twice to be eliminated. The losers bracket winner faces the winners bracket champion in the grand final.

Best for: Competitive events where one bad match should not end your tournament. Gives players a second chance and tends to produce more matches and better competition.

Round Robin

Every participant plays every other participant. Final standings are determined by win/loss record, with tiebreakers applied if needed.

Best for: Small groups (4–8 players or teams) where you want everyone to get maximum playtime. Works well as a group stage before a knockout bracket.
