All tournament management softwares provide a match result with a score, but often without the possibility to automate the calculation, especially when this score is a time. Toornament allows that now, and it makes managing race and speed run competitions even easier!
The score type based on the duration works for all your competition with match including more than 2 opponents and using one of our FFA structure. Thus, during your FFA stage creation process, you can decide whether the score type will be based on points or a duration, from the “Advanced” section.
There, you can also decide the “Score direction”, be it “Highest” or “Lowest”. It means you can choose if the participant with the lowest score or time will either be first or last in your ranking.
Score type duration is compatible with our numerous match formats and advanced calculations: the final result of a match can be the aggregated time of all of its games.
When using time as score, you can enter a value ranging from hours down to milliseconds.
For more information on how to use the duration as score you can visit our Help Center which has a new dedicated article on it: https://help.toornament.com/match/time-as-score
