Toornament is launching the brand new “Customized Bracket” construction as we speak to offer organizers much more freedom in creating their desired event format.
The customized bracket construction is obtainable in beta and works for all of your duel (1 vs 1 or crew vs crew) tournaments. It lets you manually create brackets with customized participant development, which might not be possible with the numerous different codecs out there on Toornament.
For instance, you may create brackets just like the LFL or LPL playoffs, a triple-elimination bracket, a twin-headed gauntlet and many others.
A customized bracket construction is outlined by a “schema” that you need to write, to create the entire matches and relations between them.
Every match might be given a reputation, after which its two opponents might 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 members, with matches between seeds #1 and#4, and seeds #2 and #3, then a ultimate between them and a third place decider.
A=[1,4] B=[2,3] C=[W:A,W:B] D=[L:A,L:B]
Notice that every match have to be positioned on a separate line.

And right here is the results of this collection of 4 matches:
Beneath we’ve got written one other customized bracket schema not achievable with different Toornament constructions.
On this instance, we’ve got reproduced the construction of the French League of Legends event playoffs. It includes 6 of the ten groups from the championship common season, in a Double-Elimination Bracket by 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 may appear like:
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 set up 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 check and play with this new format. Notice that the “customized bracket” construction continues to be in “beta”, as we’re nonetheless working no a number of the edgier circumstances doable, and plan on enhancing the visible rendition of extra advanced bracket constructions.
