A competition has one sport, one format, and editions that follow one another over time. The organizer creates it; players enter.

The six formats

League

4 to 100 players. Everyone plays everyone inside their group, round by round, with promotion and relegation.

Direct Elimination

4 to 32. A knockout bracket: lose once and you are out. Can include a third-place playoff and a consolation bracket.

World Cup

16 to 32. A group stage, then a knockout bracket.

Super 8

8 players, in doubles. Six matches per round, with rotating partners or fixed pairs.

Super 4

4 players, in doubles. Three matches — an afternoon’s mini-tournament.

Challenge Pyramid

4 to 40. No rounds: you challenge whoever is above you and climb by winning.
The sport decides which formats are offered. Singles sports (1 vs 1) use League, Direct Elimination, World Cup and Pyramid; doubles sports (2 vs 2) use League, Super 8 and Super 4. In doubles the League forms groups of 4 and your partner changes each match, so sign players up in multiples of 4.In every doubles format the pairs are formed by the competition itself — there is no pair registration. Sports with three or more per side have no competition format yet.

How the League works

It is the most used format and the least obvious.
1

Each round, the division is sorted

By the current standings.
2

Players are split into groups of 4 to 6

The best in group 1, the next in group 2, and so on.
3

Inside the group, everyone plays everyone

A group with fewer than 3 players does not play that round.
4

At the round turnover, players move

The top two of each group move up, the bottom two move down. It happens per round, not per edition.

How the Pyramid works

You challenge someone up to three positions above you. They have 7 days to answer — a deadline the organizer can adjust per competition. If you win, you take their position and everyone in between drops one. One open challenge at a time.

Divisions and editions

Divisions separate players by level inside the same competition. They only exchange players when the organizer chains them into a hierarchy — independent divisions never do. Editions are the seasons. Closing one freezes the standings, and the next starts with promoted players in their new places.
