Tournaments let you run competitive bracket events for your organization. This guide covers creating tournaments, configuring divisions and pools, managing team registrations, and running brackets.

Creating a New Tournament

Navigate to Tournaments in the admin sidebar. Click the New tournament button to begin setting up your event.

Tournament Structure: Divisions, Pools, and Brackets

Tournaments are organized into a hierarchy that gives you flexibility over how teams compete. Understanding this structure helps you plan your event effectively.

• Divisions — Organize teams by skill level, age group, or category. Each division runs independently with its own pools and brackets.
• Pools — Within each division, group teams for round-robin pool play. Pool results determine seeding for the elimination bracket.
• Brackets — Single or double elimination brackets are generated from pool results. Winners advance through rounds until a champion is determined.

Managing Teams and Registrations

• Teams register through the public tournament page, which displays event details and a registration button.
• The Teams & Registrations tab on the management page shows all registered teams and their status.
• Admins can approve or reject registrations and assign teams to divisions from this tab.

Running the Tournament

• Generate brackets from the Bracket Overview tab once all teams are assigned to divisions and pools.
• Click individual matches to enter scores as games are completed.
• Winners advance automatically through elimination rounds based on match results.
• The bracket visualization updates in real-time as scores are entered.
