Tournament brackets & byes

Tournaments run in 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4. A team registering for 2v2 or 4v4 needs exactly that many members — a 3-person team can't enter a 4v4 event, for example.

A tournament moves through four stages: sign-ups, check-in, live, and finished. You can see exactly where it is at the top of the tournament page.

Registering during sign-ups doesn't lock in your spot in the bracket — you still need to check in once check-in opens, or you won't be seeded when the bracket generates.

Brackets are single-elimination, seeded by current rating in your format, best seed on top. Any number of checked-in entrants from 2 upward works: if the count isn't a clean power of two, the best-rated seeds get a bye in round 1 — an automatic advance with no match to play and no rating change, exactly like a real-world tournament walkover.
