Tournament Formats
Pick the format your competition actually uses — the bracket, pairings, and progression are generated for you.
Barrage (Poules)
Teams split into poules with snake seeding and automatic bye handling, then qualified teams move into a finals stage — either one single-elimination bracket or A/B/C/D group brackets.
Single Elimination
Classic knockout bracket generated automatically from the registered field, with round-by-round progression and no manual bracket paperwork.
Group Elimination
Group stage into knockout, with snake seeding, configurable teams advancing, an optional lower (consolation) bracket, and a target bracket size for balanced playoffs.
Round robin, precision shooting and team championship formats are in development.
