Tournament phases

After the draw, a tournament unfolds in successive phases.

1. Groups

Groups section (if the tournament has groups). Each group has:

  • its match schedule,
  • its mini-standings (same columns as the league standings).

At the end of the groups, the qualifiers (defined at the draw) advance to the finals.

2. Finals (bracket)

Finals section: the knockout bracket. Each slot fills in as results come in (semi-finals, final, and third-place match for the 3rd place where applicable).

3. Podium

Podium section: the final ranking — 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (if there's a third-place match). The champion automatically receives the tournament trophy, and the tournament joins the organization's honours list.

Admin panel

Admin section (admin only, after the draw): centralizes score entry, trophy awarding, reported matches, and matchday rescheduling.
