Toornament is launching the brand new “Customized Bracket” construction in the present day to present organizers much more freedom in creating their desired match format.
The customized bracket construction is obtainable in beta and works for all of your duel (1 vs 1 or staff vs staff) tournaments. It means that you can manually create brackets with customized participant development, which might not be possible with the various different codecs obtainable on Toornament.
For instance, you’ll be able to create brackets just like the LFL or LPL playoffs, a triple-elimination bracket, a twin-headed gauntlet and so forth.
A customized bracket construction is outlined by a “schema” that it’s a must to write, to create all the matches and relations between them.
Every match can be given a reputation, after which its two opponents can be recognized, with three potentialities:
- The opponent is positioned on this match, and they’re recognized by the seed quantity
- The opponent gained a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “W” and the identifier of the match they gained (i.e “W:A”)
- The opponent misplaced a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “L” and the identifier of the match they misplaced (i.e “L:B”)
Instance:
A = match identifier [1,4] = participant seeds full match syntax: A=[1,4]
The next syntax will generate a quite simple Single-Elimination Bracket with 4 members, with matches between seeds #1 and#4, and seeds #2 and #3, then a last between them and a third place decider.
A=[1,4] B=[2,3] C=[W:A,W:B] D=[L:A,L:B]
Observe that every match have to be positioned on a separate line.

And right here is the results of this sequence of 4 matches:
Beneath we have now written one other customized bracket schema not achievable with different Toornament constructions.
On this instance, we have now reproduced the construction of the French League of Legends match playoffs. It entails 6 of the ten groups from the championship common season, in a Double-Elimination Bracket wherein seeds #1 and #2 from the common season begin within the Winner Bracket, whereas seeds #3 to #6 begin within the Loser Bracket.
Here’s what the schema for such a bracket might appear like:
B=[3,6] C=[4,5] D=[W:B,W:C] A=[1,2] E=[W:D,L:A] F=[W:A,W:E]
As you’ll be able to see, you’ll be able to identify and set up the matches as you like, to make the schema simpler to prepared and/or perceive.
And right here is the visible rendition of the 2023 LFL Summer time Break up Playoffs, with its outcomes:
Now you can check and play with this new format. Observe that the “customized bracket” construction continues to be in “beta”, as we’re nonetheless working no a few of the edgier circumstances potential, and plan on enhancing the visible rendition of extra advanced bracket constructions.
