Generating a Compass bracket
Generate all four Compass brackets in one step from the EAST tab: open the Admin menu, choose Generate Bracket, confirm the seed order, and the app builds EAST, WEST, SOUTH and NORTH with the drop paths between them. You cannot generate the brackets separately.
Before you start
Compass is listed under Specialty Formats in the event format list, not under Bracket Style Formats.
Add every team first. Compass holds at most 16 teams. With more, generation stops and asks you to remove the extra teams.
Generate the brackets
On the event page, tap View Matches and pick the division.
Open the EAST tab (the main draw).
Tap the Admin button and select Generate Bracket.
In the Seeding dialog, drag teams into order. The top of the list is seed 1.
Tap Generate Bracket.
The Admin button appears only on EAST, because WEST, SOUTH and NORTH are filled from EAST's results.
Set the seed order
The Seeding dialog opens sorted by DUPR rating (highest first) when any team has a rating. Drag to adjust, or tap Sort by DUPR to reset. With no ratings, teams start in roster order. The app then applies standard placement, keeping top seeds apart and giving byes to the strongest.
If you are running Round Robin to Compass, the bracket seeds from pool standings instead. See Generate the playoff bracket.
Fewer than 16 teams
Empty slots fill with byes. A team facing a bye advances without playing, and the app carries that through the drop paths, so the lower brackets fill correctly without manual scoring.
What gets built
EAST: all 16 teams, decides 1st to 4th
NORTH: EAST quarterfinal losers, decides 5th to 8th
WEST: EAST first-round losers, decides 9th to 12th
SOUTH: WEST first-round losers, decides 13th to 16th
Each bracket has its own bronze match, fed by its two semifinal losers. For the movement rules, see How Compass brackets work.
After generating
Score from the bracket cards, and winners advance and losers drop automatically. See Scoring bracket matches.
The Admin menu also has Configure Courts and Auto-Assign Courts. See Court management in bracket formats. To swap a team into a different slot, see Editing bracket matches.
Rebuild
Clear Knockout Bracket in EAST's Admin menu removes all four brackets at once. Then generate again.
Clearing deletes every match, score and court assignment across all four brackets. It cannot be undone.
