Bracket Style Formats

Scoring bracket matches

Score bracket matches from the bracket view or from the live match list. The system advances teams automatically after each result.

Enter a score

  1. Open a match from the bracket view.

  2. Enter the score for each team.

  3. Confirm the result.

What happens after scoring

  • The winner advances to the next match in the correct bracket.

  • A winners bracket loss sends that team to the losers bracket.

  • A losers bracket loss eliminates that team.

You do not need to move teams manually.
