Swiss System.

Everyone plays every round. After each round, Leagology matches winners against winners and losers against losers. Nobody is eliminated. After a set number of rounds, the player with the best record wins. The pairings, standings, and rankings all update automatically — you just press start each round.

You create an event, add players, press start. Round 1 is random. After that, Leagology pairs you against someone with the same record. Won your first two? You're playing another unbeaten player. Lost one? You're facing someone who also lost one. Standings update after every score. The TV shows live matchups and standings.

Leagology calculates it automatically. 8 players need 3 rounds. 16 need 4. 32 need 5. 64 need 6. For context — 16 players in a round robin need 15 rounds. Swiss does it in 4. You choose the number of rounds when you create the event.

The matchmaking that makes Swiss work. After each round, Leagology sorts everyone by record and matches you against someone with the same wins and losses. No rematches. The pairings appear on the TV and on everyone's phone — you just press start, we do the rest.

Round robin is fairer — everyone plays everyone. But 16 players need 120 matches. Swiss needs 32. On Leagology, both formats feed into the same player rankings. Small group with time? Round robin. Big group, one evening? Swiss. You can switch formats between events and rankings carry over.

Knockout for drama and spectacle. Swiss for competition and everyone playing. On Leagology, you can run a Swiss event one week and knockout the next at the same venue — player ratings carry across both. Knockout sends half home after one game. Swiss keeps everyone in all night.

Any 1v1 sport — Leagology has dozens of sports built in. Pool, darts, table tennis, snooker, chess — all preconfigured with the right scoring, stats, and rules. Pick the sport, pick Swiss, add players, press start. Pairings appear on the TV, scores go in live, standings update automatically.

First tournament? Round 1 is random. By round 3, the system's figured out who's good because winners keep facing winners. After that first event, every player has a Leagology rating. Your next Swiss tournament uses those ratings for better first-round pairings. It gets smarter every time you run one.

Every match adjusts your rating. Beat someone rated higher, yours jumps. Lose to someone lower, it drops. Swiss events feed directly into your Leagology rankings — the more you play, the sharper they get. Same rating system across all formats and venues.

Same number of wins? Leagology checks head-to-head first, then the strength of your opponents. All calculated automatically — you don't need to think about it. The standings are always accurate.
