Adding a multi-stage tournament
A multi-stage tournament is a tournament consisting of several parts that are played separately from each other, sequentially or in parallel. For example, first 2 groups (A and B) are played, the winners of which advance to the play-off. Such a tournament consists of 3 stages, and all 3 stages can be played within 1 tournament in the system. The main features of a multi-stage tournament:
- up to 4(free) and 12(paid) tournament stages;
- each stage can have its own type - round-robin or single-elimination;
- statistics are calculated for each stage separately and for the tournament as a whole.
Adding a new tournament
To add a tournament, go to the
"tournaments" page and
click the green "Add" button.
The new tournament adding page will open:
You need to select the "Multi-stage" type and create the stages of your tournament. In this example, 2 groups will be played, the winners of which will advance to the tournament play-off and play against each other for the title — 3 stages in total. At this point the tournament can be created by clicking the "save" button.

The next step is adding members. See the tutorial Tournament members
Switching between stages
Buttons for switching between stages have been added to the tournament header:
Each stage is essentially a nested tournament; when you select it, the system switches to working with this nested tournament. In the stage mode you can generate a game schedule, etc. For details, see the sections:
