Organizing a tournament relies on a delicate balance between available time, the number of fields, and the players' desire to play as many matches as possible.
1. Round Robin Format (Pools)
This is the fairest format. Each team faces all others in its group.
- Advantage: Guarantees a fixed number of matches for all.
- Usage: Ideal for qualifying phases.
TournaManager Software: We automatically manage perfect ties. If two teams are tied on points and goals, you can break the tie by simple drag-and-drop.
2. Single Elimination (Knockout)
The classic format for the final phase. The loser leaves the tournament, the winner progresses.
With our generator: No more need to draw your brackets on paper. Enter the score, and the winner automatically advances to the next round in an interactive HD bracket.
3. Format with "Consolation"
An excellent alternative for amateur tournaments. Losers of the first round are moved to a secondary bracket.
4. Reseeding
After a first pool phase, teams are distributed into new pools based on their level (Gold Pool, Silver Pool).
Simplify your life: TournaManager automates this complex process. The software calculates the global ranking and creates new pools in one click.
