Recommended Structure: 6 Pools of 4
This format is inspired by major international competitions. It offers an intense group phase and progression to a 16-team final bracket (Round of 16).Managing 24 teams on paper is risky; TournaManager secures your entire process.
| Phase | Format | Matches | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pools | 6 pools of 4 teams | 36 | Top 2 + 4 best 3rd places |
| Round of 16 | Final Bracket (16 teams) | 8 | Single Elimination |
| Quarters to Final | The Final Four | 8 | Final Podium |
| TOTAL | Complete Final Phase | 52 | Full Championship |
Managing the Best Third Places
With 6 pools, you qualify the 12 winners and runners-up. To reach 16 teams in the final phase, you need to pick up the 4 best third-place teams.This is where TournaManager becomes indispensable by automating this complex calculation in real-time as soon as scores are entered on the field.
Multi-Field Management
For 24 teams, we recommend 6 fields. Our software handles automatic assignment of fields and referees to ensure total fluidity for your event.
