  1. Tournament Design

  2. Up and DownKing or Queen of the Court • Best when you have a short period of time and limited courts or fields • Easy to run and allows for more playing time • Determine length of time you want games to be • Take total time and divide it by number of games you want to play

  3. How to run a King’s Court • Number all your courts • Assign players/teams to each court (try to put better players/teams on courts 1, 2 or 3. • Play your first game • When time is up: • Winners move up one court toward court #1 the King’s Court • The losers move down one court • The winners on court @1 stay and the losers on court 6 stay • If there is a tie, the team/player that had the highest score first wins. • If you have more players/teams than courts, have one player/team waiting to play next on a court.

  4. Round Robin • Are the best for league play or one day tournaments that guarantee a certain number of games • All team/players play each other at least once (for a large # of teams/players create a 3rd or 4th pool) • The smaller the number of teams/players in the pool the shorter time it takes to complete pool play • When using Round Robin for a one day tournament combine it with Single Elimination

  5. Round Robin Format Pool A Team1 Team2 Team3 Team4 Pool B Team 5 Team 6 Team 7 Team 8

  6. Single Elimination Tournament • Best when you have a large number of entries, a short period of time and a limited number of courts/fields • When players win they continue/when they lose they are out • Downside: half of your players will be out after the first round • Accurate seeding is needed to run a good tournament (min. Try to seed the top 4 teams) • Great to use at end of Round Robin tournament to determine an overall champion

  7. Consolation • A single elimination tournament with a loser’s bracket • After the first round the winners move on and the loser’s are put in a new bracket (if you start with 16 teams, use an 8 bracket for the consolation side) • On both brackets, after the first round, if you lose, you’re out. • The winner of the original bracket is the tournament champion. The winner of the “new” bracket is the Consolation Champion.

  8. Double Elimination Tournament • Very similar to Single Elimination with one major difference: you must lose 2 games to be eliminated from the tournament. • This type of tournament takes longer to finish • There is a “crossover” when losers of the quarterfinals move to the loser’s bracket which allows players to play a different team

  9. Ladder Tournament • Most popular form of extended tournament • Best with pairs or individual entries (racket sports) • Players challenge the individual or team above them on the ladder • If the challenger wins they exchange places with the loser of the game • If the challenged player wins they stay where they are • Do not allow players to play the same person or team twice in a row
