How Group Knockout Works

The Best of Both Worlds

Group knockout combines the fairness of round-robin with the excitement of elimination brackets. Teams first compete in groups where everyone plays multiple matches, then top finishers advance to a knockout stage. This World Cup-style format ensures guaranteed games for all participants while building toward a dramatic championship finish.

Group Stage

Smart Group Stage Management

Automatically distribute teams into balanced groups. Within each group, teams play round-robin matches against every other group member. The system tracks standings, calculates points, and determines which teams qualify for the knockout phase based on your advancement rules.
