Super League

Progressive knockout competition over multiple rounds with placement points.

Super League (e.g. Super 16) is a progressive knockout competition played over multiple rounds. Each round is a seeded last-N bracket where every player receives a unique finishing position (1st through Nth). Players accumulate placement points, and the overall winner is determined by their best K rounds.

How It Works

  1. Admin creates rounds (sessions) over weeks or months
  2. Players register for individual rounds they want to enter
  3. Admin confirms entries, seeds players by rating, and generates the bracket
  4. All players play through a full-placement bracket (Cup, Plate, Bowl, Shield)
  5. Every player finishes 1st through Nth and earns placement points
  6. Overall standings are determined by best K of M rounds

Key Features

  • Full placement bracket - every player gets a unique finishing position
  • Best-K-of-M scoring rewards consistency across rounds
  • Flexible per-round registration - players pick which rounds to enter
  • Seeded draws ensure competitive matchups
  • Consolation tiers (Cup/Plate/Bowl/Shield) so everyone plays multiple matches

How are points calculated?

Points are based on finishing position: 1st place earns N points, 2nd earns N-1, and so on down to 1 point for last place.

What does "best K of M" mean?

Only your best K round scores count toward the overall standings. For example, in "best 5 of 8", your top 5 scores from 8 rounds determine your ranking.
