The six formats
League
Everyone plays everyone inside their group, round by round, with promotion
and relegation.
Direct Elimination
A knockout bracket: lose once and you are out. Can include a third-place
playoff and a consolation bracket.
World Cup
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
No rounds: you challenge whoever is above you and climb by winning.
How many players each format takes. Super 8 and Super 4 have a fixed
number — 8 and 4. The other four have only a minimum, and it depends on
the sport: on the format step, each card shows the number that applies (for
example 3+ players) as soon as you pick the sport. There is no ceiling — how
many join is up to you.
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
In singles, groups of 4 to 6; in doubles, of exactly 4. The best in group 1,
the next in group 2, and so on.
3
Inside the group, everyone plays everyone
In singles, a group with fewer than 3 players does not play that round. In
doubles the group has to be a full 4: anyone left over sits the round out,
and the organizer is told who was left out when opening the 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.What you see as a participant
