MAJOR UPDATE — 6 TOURNAMENT FORMATS
This is the biggest update to Tournament Generator yet. Four completely new formats, a full player rating system, and detailed player profiles.
NEW TOURNAMENT FORMATS
Swiss System — pair players by standings each round. Everyone plays every round, and live standings update as results come in. Ideal for longer events where you want clear skill separation without elimination.
Double Elimination — give everyone a second chance. Lose in the winners pool and you drop to survivors — only two losses ends a run. Includes an automatic Grand Final between the last survivors of each pool.
Group Stage + Knockout — divide players into groups for round-robin play, then automatically advance the top finishers into a knockout bracket. The classic sports event format, fully automated.
Ladder — rank players and challenge your way up. Winners swap positions with their opponents, so the ranking evolves with every match. The ideal format for club nights and casual sessions.
PLAYER PROFILES & RATINGS
Tap any player to open their full profile:
• Career stats — matches, wins, losses, win rate, and best streak
• Rating sparkline — a live chart of their rating across all matches
• Tournament history — every event, with results and format
Ratings use smart Bayesian blending: your seed rating is preserved for the first 10 matches and gradually gives way to real match performance. Ratings are normalized across sessions with different court counts so they're always comparable.
SETUP IMPROVEMENTS
• Tap (i) on any setup section for a plain-English explanation
• Set your default tournament format in Settings
• When a tournament finishes, jump straight to its history recap
BUG FIXES
• Fixed Swiss and Double Elimination pairings from round 2 onwards
• Fixed bracket duplication after pause/resume in Single Elimination
• Undo now correctly restores all fields across all formats
• Swiss standings now update live as each result is entered
• Ladder doubles now correctly swaps full teams, not individual players
