Ladder Formats

Auto-generation in Ladder formats

Auto-generation creates the next ladder round automatically after the current round is finished. Use it when you want a session to keep moving without starting each round by hand.

You must generate Round 1 manually before you can turn on auto-generation.

Enable auto-generation

  1. Tap the admin button.

  2. Select Enable Auto-Generation.

  3. Enter the total number of rounds to create, or leave it blank for unlimited rounds that continue until you stop auto-generation.

  4. Choose the sorting method for future rounds.

  5. Choose the Bye Mode for handling uneven player counts (optional).

  6. Confirm.

For more on Bye Mode, see Bye Mode for Ladder Leagues.

How auto-generation works

Auto-generation is triggered by match completion, not by a timer. As soon as all matches in the current round are complete, the next round is created with the sorting method you selected.

  • If you set a round count, you'll see progress such as 3/5 rounds completed.

  • If you leave the round count blank, generation continues indefinitely until you stop auto-generation.

  • Already-generated rounds stay in place if you turn the feature off later.

Disable auto-generation

  1. Tap the admin button.

  2. Select Stop Auto-Generation.

Disabling auto-generation stops future rounds from being created automatically. It does not remove rounds that already exist.

When to use it

Use auto-generation for single-session events such as a league night with several rounds in a row. If players opt in week by week or your rounds happen on different dates, manual round starts usually give you better control. To create the first round, see Starting games in Ladder formats. To manage dates or clear a round, see Managing rounds and dates in Ladder formats.
