| Playoffs | Typically top 4 | Qualifier 1 (1 vs 2), Eliminator (3 vs 4), Qualifier 2, Finals |
Important limitation
Teams KO generation in the API currently accepts FormatId 3 or 5 only (round robin + knockouts/playoffs). Format 6 / 7 (Teams Swiss) can run group rounds, but KO generation rejects them today. Prefer RR + KO/playoffs until Swiss KO generate ships. See Limitations.
