FAQ

What sort of format is Swiss-style?

Swiss-Style Features

In this tournament format, all participants play the same number of matches and are ranked based on those results.

Even with a lot of teams, rankings are determined in at most 10 rounds. This makes it possible to hold large-scale tournaments in fewer rounds.

Unlike elimination-style tournaments, all participants play until the end.

Opponents are determined based on win-loss records. Whenever possible, teams with similar results are matched together.
