Format reference
Pick the right format.
Fastest. One loss = out.
Single Elimination
The classic playoff bracket. Best for one-day tournaments where everyone wants a clear winner without a six-hour event.
Best for: Open tournaments, league playoffs, casual events
Fairest. Everyone plays everyone.
Round Robin
Each team plays every other team. Standings come from cumulative wins. Best for small fields where you want guaranteed games per team.
Best for: 4–8 team leagues, doubles tournaments, in-house events
Most forgiving — coming soon
Double Elimination
Two chances before elimination via a losers bracket. Twice the games, twice the forgiveness. Currently in development for the Apollo generator.
Best for: Major tournaments, championship events
