Playoff tournament software creates easy to manage Match Play events using cloud based draws
Playoff tournaments bring a climax to a final of a season or as a stand alone match play format. Create the drama online with a choice of exciting formats at Match Play World.
Create a playoff tournament to run over a day, a weekend or a season for teams, pairs or individual players. Match play draws can set up as an unseeded or a seeded draw using our two options for tournament formats.
Knockout is the classic playoff tournament format where winners of each match advance and losers are knocked out. Match Play World Knockout software enables results to be entered, reports to be submitted and details of the time and courts to be used for the game.
If you need a plate or consolation tournament first round losers, then this can be created in the same way as a knockout event.
Alternatively the unique Match Play Matrix format is ideal for playoff formats as it ensures that every player or team plays every round. The winner is the last team or player left standing with a 100% undefeated record. The Match Play Matrix is ideal for events where you want to keep everyone involved throughout the tournament.
The Matrix also avoids the issues with using Group Stages, as it means that everyone plays the same number of games and that there are no repeat fixtures.
Using this format, players quickly and easily find their level more quickly, which leads to more equal games for experienced and developing players and more enjoyable games for spectators.
The tie breaker for scoring could be games, points or any other method of scoring that your playoff event uses. Whichever is chosen as the scoring unit is added together from each match to create the Score Difference for each player. Players are then ranked first by wins and then by Score Difference.
