Brackets & seeding

Tournaments (and round-robin → bracket leagues) play out a bracket. This page covers the bracket types, how Skoryd seeds them, and the seed sources you can choose from.

Bracket types

• Single elimination — lose once and you're out.
• Double elimination — a Winners and a Losers bracket; you're out after your second loss. The Grand Final can include a reset game if the Losers-bracket finalist wins the first one.
• Round robin → bracket — a group stage seeds players/teams into a playoff.

Byes are filled automatically when the entry count isn't a power of two, and an optional third-place match can be added.

Seeding

Seeding decides who plays whom in round one — typically strongest vs weakest. Skoryd ranks entrants by average PPR (gross throwing production), which is a better skill signal than raw win count, then places them into the bracket using a snake seed so the strongest and weakest are kept apart early.

Seed sources

When you generate the bracket you pick where the seeding numbers come from, using one dropdown of options grouped by source:

• This event's round robin — seed the playoff from the group-stage results (the default for RR → bracket).
• This club — overall results across the club.
• Quick Play — casual-play results.
• Previous leagues / tournaments — a recent completed event at this club (bounded to the last ~90 days so the list stays short).
• Global — results across all clubs (good for an open, cross-club tournament).
• Seasons — a season's standings, either a club season or a global season.

Entrants with no history in the chosen source seed at the bottom.

During the bracket

Winners advance automatically as matches are approved; in double elimination, a loss (including a forfeit) drops the team into the Losers bracket. The bracket page shows the live state, and a finished bracket match returns you to the bracket view rather than the event page.
