Compete

Competition formats explained

Choose the right structure for a matchup, league, bracket, goal, or territory game.

What you can do

  • Head-to-head tracks direct matchups between two competitors.
  • Group rivalry lets any two accepted members play at any time, with overall standings and a separate record for every pair.
  • Everyone at once puts the full accepted group into every round: one winner gets a win and every other player gets a loss.
  • Round robin schedules every participant against every other participant.
  • Single elimination advances winners until one champion remains.
  • Ongoing rivalries keep accepting new confirmed matchups without an end date.

How it works

  1. Choose an activity and its exact game variation.
  2. Choose the format that matches how participants should compete.
  3. Choose Group rivalry for an ongoing golf group, video-game group, or any group where different pairs play at different times.
  4. Choose Everyone at once when three or more people play the same round together, such as six-player darts. The organizer records the round once for everyone.
  5. Choose Ongoing for permanent record keeping or set an end date, then select the actual opponent whenever a result is recorded.
  6. Add the full roster before generating round-robin or elimination fixtures.
  7. Review the format summary before creating the competition.
