How to use matchpoints in Round Robin brackets

In Round Robin brackets you have the option to calculate the winner based on two criterias, wins or points. In submission only events (jiu-jitsu) a common point method is to give 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

• Wins is the default value and will calculate the winner of the bracket based on 1 point for a win and 0 points for loss (and draws).
• Points gives you the option to assign points to a win, loss or draw and even assign points to the method.

If you are using a format where you give your fighters points based on how they win and even give points for draws and losses you should use points.

Here is a bracket based on points for wins by points (3p), wins by submission (5p), win by walkover (4p), draw (1p) and a loss (0p).

In Round Robin brackets there is a possibility of a draw at the end. Here Ivan Drago and Rocky Balboa got the same amount of points and to declare a winner you need to set up tiebreakers before the event. Wanna know how? Read about it here!

Here is how to configure match points.

1. Go to the match points menu

2. Click add points and assign points according to your rules and click save, to... save... (duh)

3. Create the point system you want to use, you can give points for any win (default) or assign points to a winning method (the way the match ends and what button the scorekeeper use). Decide what to award for draws and losses and then save.

4. When it's time to create your Round Robin bracket make sure to pick "Points" in the setup.

That's IT, good luck!
