Competition formats

Updated June 16, 2026

Knockout

Single elimination: lose once and you are out. RacketLive seeds the bracket and advances winners automatically. Best for shorter events with a clear champion.

Round robin

Every entry plays every other entry in the group. Standings rank players by wins and tie-breakers you configure. Ideal for smaller groups where everyone should get multiple matches.

Group + Playoffs

Players are split into groups for a round-robin phase. Top finishers from each group advance to a knockout bracket. Common for larger fields — you get meaningful pool play plus an exciting finish.
