We’re enhancing our tournament structures

Good news for you today! We’re enhancing three of our tournament structures, reinforcing Toornament’s leadership in terms of tournament structures and options.

Let’s have a look at the new features!

Swiss system: new pairing rules

Our community has been very happy since we released our Swiss system. Today, we’re enhancing it, adding new pairing algorithms, to fine tune way you want your participants to meet each other.

The default pairing method so far was “Score Group + Random”, which pairs random players with similar Win / Draw / Lose performances in the group.

With our update, you are given the choice with 3 additional methods :

  • Score Groups + Adjacent: The strongest participant of a group is paired with next strongest one of the same group, and so on.
  • Score Groups + Balanced: The new default setting. The strongest participant from the first half is paired with next strongest one of the second half, and so on.
  • Score groups + Opposite: The strongest opponent is paired with the weakest one.

Group stage: new tie breaker options

Deciding the final standings in a group with tied participants is always a tricky situation. We thus added new tie breaker options to help you rule this out.

You can stack up all those rules, the one on the top being the first rule to apply, while the bottom being the last rule to apply.

Note that we’ve added three new rules dedicated to the match score: match score for, against and difference. You can apply these rules to the overall performance, or just focus on the performances between the tied participants.

A League of its own

Last but not least, our League structure has been largely enhanced, now boasting great features:

  • league’s divisions
  • match day view
  • the same new tie breakers rules as in Groups and Swiss system

We hope you’ll enjoy and use these new features and options, stay tuned for more!

EVO 2015: Street Fighter IV Top 64, Smash Bros Melee Top 32

As we were covering all the major Esport tournaments of this past week end, one of our favorite event proved to be both a huge success, and a huge headache to cover. With its thousands of registered players and dozens of tournaments, EVO 2015 was a monster event.

In the end, we saw a lot of partial results scattered all over the web, between the vods, the official schedule and the community sites.

Following thorough researches, we gathered the Top 64 results for the Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament, with detailed scores and characters – when we could get them.

 

Bonus: here’s the Super Smash Bros Melee Top 32 recap. Enjoy!
