Tournament formats
The format sets the match scheme: round robin, a bracket, or groups with a playoff.
The format defines how matches are scheduled and how the winner is determined.
| Format | When it fits |
|---|---|
| Round robin | Few participants; everyone plays everyone, the fairest placement. |
| Single-elimination bracket | Many participants and little time; a loss knocks you out. |
| Groups + playoff | A group stage seeds a bracket — a balance of fairness and time. |
The constructor itself suggests the number of matches, the estimated duration and a recommended number of tables — those figures react as you type, so they are not repeated here.
Note
In the tournament constructor most fields already carry a clear explanation. The help is here only where the meaning is not obvious from the field label — playoff placement, how the group stage is scored, several finals.
