Teams & Players
The draw turns an event's entered teams into matches (fixtures). It's generated per event, once the teams are in.
Wait until every team has been entered. A team added after the draw isn't included. Re-generating the draw deletes every existing fixture in that event, including any schedule and results already entered.
Generate the draw
- Open Games & Events and click Draw on the event's row.
- Arrange the seed list. It starts in a random order. Drag a team up to seed it higher, or use the ▲ / ▼ buttons (on a phone or tablet, only the buttons work). Anything you don't move stays random.
- Knockout: seed 1 and seed 2 are placed in opposite halves of the bracket so they can only meet in the final. Byes go to the top seeds.
- League: everyone plays everyone regardless, so the order only changes which matches come first.
- If the page lists eligibility problems that block the draw, either fix them or (org admin / host only) tick the override box and give a reason.
- Click 🎲 Generate automatic draw.
What you get
- Knockout: a bracket by round. When a result is entered, the winner moves into the next round automatically.
- League: a list of matchdays plus a live Standings table (played, won, lost, points; 2 points per win). With an odd number of teams, each team sits out one matchday.
- 🖨 Print draw sheet: a PDF of the bracket or schedule (with standings for a league), for notice boards.
