Tournament format FAQs
Q: Can I change the format of my tournament?
A: Yes, you can change your format at any time. However, changing your format clears all existing games and schedules.
Q: What are flights?
A: Flights split your playoffs into multiple brackets, for example an A bracket for the top teams and a B bracket for the rest. They're useful in larger tournaments so that more teams keep playing after pool play.
Q: What if I don't see the format I want to use?
A: We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us at support@tourny.ca.
Q: What is a custom bracket?
A: A custom bracket is a bracket with its own set path for every team, for tournaments that don't fit the standard formats. Brackets for Ontario Baseball provincial championships are built in for baseball events. For anything else, reach out to us at support@tourny.ca. See Custom brackets.
