Matcherino Brackets are now live and out of beta!
To create a bracket on your event, you'll go to the admin section on your event page, and then find "bracket" on the left side.
Please Note - There are some minor setting differences between single-elimination and double-elimination brackets.
Bracket Size - If you have a maximum bracket size, you'll set that here. If the size is set to 0, it'll allow unlimited players to join the bracket.
Bracket Format - Single Elimination and Double Elimination are the support format currently.
Match format - If all rounds for the bracket duration are the same length, set your length in the Best Of or the First To dropdowns. If the length of rounds varies by where you are in the tournament, check the By Players Remaining Box. You're then able to set a separate "Best Of" value for each stage of the bracket.
Game by Game Match Reporting- If enabled, this sets match reporting on a game by game basis. For example - If a round is set to best of 5 and a player won 3-2, reporting would be done on each game, requiring 5 individual game result reports to proceed.
Match Readying - If enabled, this will require plays to ready up for their match each round on the bracket.
Consolation Match(Single Elimination Only) - If enabled, this will add a 3rd place consolation match to the bracket.
Grand Finals Reset(Double Elimination Only) - If enabled, the finalist who comes from the losers bracket will have to reset the bracket to win the tournament.
Automatic accept score on loss report - If enabled, scores will be considered automatically approved if the loser reports them; otherwise, both winners and losers will have to report.
Match Timer - Sets a timer that tracks the duration of a match and notifies admins if that time elapses. This timer is purely informational as no action is taken as a result of this timer going off.
Remaining Matches Admin Notification(Only enabled if a Match Timer is set) - ???
Admin Notified of a match with no readied player(Only enabled if Match Readying is enabled) - Admin will receive a notification if neither player in a match readies up in the set amount of time.
Readied player is advanced vs Unreadied player(Only enabled if Match Readying is enabled) - In the event one player readies up, and the other does not, this will automatically advance them after the set amount of time.
One player reported score automatically accepted - If enabled, scores will automatically be accepted after a set amount of time even if only one player reports the score.
Registration - Select open for a bracket which anyone can join, or Restricted for one which the tournament runner must add them to.
Once you have everything set up, click Create to finish creating your bracket.
Your bracket is now created and ready to run! Follow us to the next guide, where we show you how to run your bracket!
