Weekly Tournaments

This is a Pro feature. Upgrade your group to access Weekly Tournaments.

Weekly Tournaments is an automated recurring tournament that runs on a schedule you set. Instead of manually creating a tournament each week, the app handles scheduling, sign-ups, and bracket generation automatically. Show up, sign up, and play.

How it works

Sign-up window opens — after the previous tournament completes (plus a cooldown period), a new sign-up window opens and group members can register to participate
Bracket is generated — at the configured start time, sign-ups close and the bracket is automatically drawn from all registered players
Play your matches — participants record results as they go; the bracket advances in real time
Champion is crowned — when the final is played, the winner is highlighted in the app

Signing up

When a Weekly Tournament is open for registration, you'll see a banner or notification prompting you to sign up. Tap Sign up to register. You can withdraw before the bracket is locked if you can't make it.

Bracket format

Weekly Tournaments use a single-elimination bracket by default. Seeding is based on current leaderboard ratings — top-rated players get the most favourable first-round draw.

Rating impact

By default, Weekly Tournament match results count toward the main leaderboard. An admin can disable this from the tournament configuration if you want the tournament to be purely for fun.

Configuring Weekly Tournaments

Admins can configure Weekly Tournaments from the Tournaments page:

Day and start time — when the bracket locks and play begins
Timezone — the timezone used for scheduling
Minimum participants — minimum players required for the tournament to run
Cooldown hours — how long after a tournament completes before the next sign-up window opens
Apply to leaderboard — whether results affect ratings

Notifications

Players who've enabled push notifications receive a notification when the tournament is about to start and if it gets cancelled due to insufficient players.
