Toornament is launching the brand new “Customized Bracket” construction right now to provide organizers much more freedom in creating their desired event format.
The customized bracket construction is on the market in beta and works for all of your duel (1 vs 1 or staff vs staff) tournaments. It permits you to manually create brackets with customized participant development, which might not be possible with the numerous different codecs accessible on Toornament.
For instance, you may create brackets just like the LFL or LPL playoffs, a triple-elimination bracket, a twin-headed gauntlet and so forth.
A customized bracket construction is outlined by a “schema” that you need to write, to create all the matches and relations between them.
Every match will likely be given a reputation, after which its two opponents will likely be recognized, with three potentialities:
The opponent is positioned on this match, and they’re recognized by the seed quantity
The opponent received a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “W” and the identifier of the match they received (i.e “W:A”)
The opponent misplaced a earlier match, and they’re recognized by a “L” and the identifier of the match they misplaced (i.e “L:B”)
Instance:
A = match identifier
[1,4] = participant seeds
full match syntax: A=[1,4]
The next syntax will generate a quite simple Single-Elimination Bracket with 4 contributors, with matches between seeds #1 and#4, and seeds #2 and #3, then a remaining between them and a third place decider.
A=[1,4]
B=[2,3]
C=[W:A,W:B]
D=[L:A,L:B]
Observe that every match should be positioned on a separate line.

And right here is the results of this collection of 4 matches:
Beneath we have now written one other customized bracket schema not achievable with different Toornament constructions.
On this instance, we have now reproduced the construction of the French League of Legends event playoffs. It entails 6 of the ten groups from the championship common season, in a Double-Elimination Bracket through which seeds #1 and #2 from the common season begin within the Winner Bracket, whereas seeds #3 to #6 begin within the Loser Bracket.Here’s what the schema for such a bracket might appear to be:
B=[3,6]
C=[4,5]
D=[W:B,W:C]
A=[1,2]
E=[W:D,L:A]
F=[W:A,W:E]
As you may see, you may title and arrange the matches as you like, to make the schema simpler to prepared and/or perceive.And right here is the visible rendition of the 2023 LFL Summer season Break up Playoffs, with its outcomes:
Now you can take a look at and play with this new format. Observe that the “customized bracket” construction remains to be in “beta”, as we’re nonetheless working no among the edgier instances doable, and plan on bettering the visible rendition of extra complicated bracket constructions.
