New custom bracket structure available

Toornament is launching the brand new “Customized Bracket” construction at present to present organizers much more freedom in creating their desired match format.

The customized bracket construction is accessible in beta and works for all of your duel (1 vs 1 or workforce vs workforce) tournaments. It means that you can manually create brackets with customized participant development, which might not be possible with the numerous different codecs accessible on Toornament.

For instance, you may create brackets just like the LFL or LPL playoffs, a triple-elimination bracket, a twin-headed gauntlet and so forth.

A customized bracket construction is outlined by a “schema” that you must write, to create the entire matches and relations between them.

Every match might be given a reputation, after which its two opponents might be recognized, with three potentialities:

• The opponent is positioned on this match, and they’re recognized by the seed quantity
• The opponent received a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “W” and the identifier of the match they received (i.e “W:A”)
• The opponent misplaced a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “L” and the identifier of the match they misplaced (i.e “L:B”)

Instance:

A = match identifier
[1,4] = participant seeds

full match syntax: A=[1,4]

The next syntax will generate a quite simple Single-Elimination Bracket with 4 contributors, with matches between seeds #1 and#4, and seeds #2 and #3, then a last between them and a third place decider.

A=[1,4]
B=[2,3]
C=[W:A,W:B]
D=[L:A,L:B]

Notice that every match should be positioned on a separate line.

And right here is the results of this sequence of 4 matches:

Beneath now we have written one other customized bracket schema not achievable with different Toornament buildings.

On this instance, now we have reproduced the construction of the French League of Legends tournament playoffs. It includes 6 of the ten groups from the championship common season, in a Double-Elimination Bracket wherein seeds #1 and #2 from the common season begin within the Winner Bracket, whereas seeds #3 to #6 begin within the Loser Bracket.
Here’s what the schema for such a bracket may appear to be:

B=[3,6]
C=[4,5]
D=[W:B,W:C]
A=[1,2]
E=[W:D,L:A]
F=[W:A,W:E]

As you may see, you may title and arrange the matches as you like, to make the schema simpler to prepared and/or perceive.
And right here is the visible rendition of the 2023 LFL Summer season Cut up Playoffs, with its outcomes:

Now you can check and play with this new format. Notice that the “customized bracket” construction remains to be in “beta”, as we’re nonetheless working no a number of the edgier circumstances attainable, and plan on enhancing the visible rendition of extra advanced bracket buildings.
