Generating a double elimination bracket

Generate the bracket after your teams are set. The system builds both the winners bracket and losers bracket in one step.

Generate the bracket

  1. Open the bracket view for the division.

  2. Tap the Admin button.

  3. Select Generate Bracket.

What happens when you generate

  • The system creates a bracket with 4, 8, 16, or 32 slots.

  • Teams are seeded by DUPR rating when ratings are available.

  • If ratings are missing, teams are placed randomly.

  • Byes are added when the field does not fill the bracket.

For more detail on seed order and byes, see How seeding and byes work in bracket formats.

What you see after generation

The bracket opens with Main Draw and Consolation tabs. Matches can be scored as soon as both teams are set.

Use the button to the right of the rightmost tab to switch to one scrollable view with all brackets shown together. Tap it again to return to the tabbed view.

You can still update the bracket after generation. See Editing bracket matches, Managing the match queue in bracket formats, and Court management in bracket formats.

Clear and generate again

Clearing the bracket is irreversible. All bracket scores are removed.

  1. Open the admin menu.

  2. Select Clear Knockout Bracket.

  3. Confirm.

  4. Select Generate Bracket again.

If your event starts with pool play, use Generating the bracket after pool play instead.
