Knockout Format for Single & Double Elimination Tournaments

Selected players will be placed in a knockout tournament.  Players can be seeded.  Non-seeded players will be randomly placed in the draw.

The Consolation Bracket will create a second bracketed event for 1st match losers.  This runs as a parallel schedule.  

The double elimination format creates two brackets - Championship and Elimination.  Players that lose a championship match get a second chance in the elimination bracket.  The final will be between the winner of each bracket.

From the Players tab, select the players for the tournament.  Players can be selected from any group and will be entered into one tournament event.  The Knockout Single Elimination caters for up to 64 players whilst the Knockout Double Elimination format is limited to 32 players.

From the Draw tab, select the Knockout Single Elimination event or Knockout Double Elimination.  Select the option for Consolation Bracket if required with the Single Elimination.

The number of courts is not considered for a knockout tournament and courts are not assigned.  

To seed the players, tap on 'Seeds'  in the table row.  The list of players will be displayed.  Move the seeded players and put in the order required.  

Once round 1 matches have been generated, save the event.  The knockout rounds will then be displayed.  As scores are entered, the winner of each match will be determined and move forward to the next round.  If Consolation bracket is included, the first round losers will automatically move into the Consolation bracket.  If a player has a bye in round one but loses their first match, they will be placed in the Consolation bracket.

The bracket views will be included in the report but you need to tap on the Bracket view first to build the snapshot for inclusion in the report.
