Events
Events live under a tournament. Use the stepped wizard (What is this event? → How is it played? → group / knockout options). A live preview panel shows What gets generated (games, rough time on N venues, configuration sound / needs attention).
Events list on a tournament
Step 1 — What is this event?
- Event name (required), e.g. Singles Open
- Format cards:
- Singles — one player per side
- Doubles — two-player pairs
- Team — club or pickup teams with singles and doubles inside each tie
Step 2 — How is it played?
| Option | Availability | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Swiss, then knockouts | All | Group stage paired on standings, then KO draw |
| Swiss only | All | Standings from Swiss — no KO draw up front |
| Knockouts only | Singles / Doubles | Straight elimination — no Swiss / RR |
| Round robin, then knockouts | Teams only | Every team plays every other in group, then KO / playoffs |
Unavailable combinations show: “That combination is not available without adding a new format.” See Limitations.
Step 3 — Group stage (if not KO-only)
Swiss
- Groups, Rounds
- With knockouts: use 1 group or an even group count (2, 4, 6…) for crossover
Teams round robin
- Groups
- Sets per RR game: One set / Best of 3 (no Bo5 in RR setup)
