Six tournament formats and four ways to enter a field — mix and match them freely. Every one has been driven end to end to its final standings, including the awkward cases: byes, a single board, multi-way ties, and a double forfeit for third.
The format decides the shape of the tournament. Whichever you choose, scheduling, scoring, corrections, payouts, and exports all work the same way.
Lose once and you're out. The quickest way to get a big field down to a champion, and the natural choice when you're tight on boards or on time.
Winners' and losers' brackets, with a grand final that can be reset. One bad leg early doesn't end a player's tournament — they drop to the losers' side and fight back.
Everyone plays everyone. The fairest read on a field, and the format where nobody drives home after two matches.
Split the field into groups, play a round robin inside each, then send the qualifiers to a single-elimination bracket. Guaranteed games for everyone, plus a knockout finish.
The same group stage, feeding a double-elimination bracket instead. The longest and most forgiving format — best for a marquee event with the boards to support it.
One group containing the whole field — everyone plays everyone — and then the top finishers go straight into a single- or double-elimination bracket. Available as a one-click preset.
A round-based mixed-doubles points game. Every round the whole field is reshuffled into fresh teams, so nobody is stuck with one partner — and points follow the player, not the team. Nobody is ever eliminated.
Entry type is chosen separately from the format, so a doubles tournament can run any bracket you like. Teams play exactly like individuals once the tournament launches.
One player per slot. Type the names, and the draw does the rest.
You pair the players into teams. Names render as "B. Smith & J. Doe", and if two players share a surname the first-name prefix extends until every label is unmistakable.
Enter individuals and let RabbidBracket pair them at random — never putting two ranked players together. An odd field gets an optional Ghost partner so nobody sits out.
Its own entry flow for the Dixie Darts format, with teams redrawn every round and ghost fillers keeping the field a multiple of four. Choosing it picks the format for you — there's no bracket to choose.
Pool = entry fee × players, less a dollar or percentage house cut. Pay places three ways — by number of entries (a clean multiple of the buy-in), by dollar amount, or by percentage of the prize pool for the classic 50/30/20 split. One mode for the whole table, up to 8 paid places, no mixing.
Entries and dollars must reconcile to the pool exactly — off by a cent is a validation error, not a silent adjustment. Percentages must total 100%, round down to whole dollars so you're handing out notes rather than coins, and give the leftover to the top place. A $170 pool with a 15% house cut leaves $144.50; split 60/40 that pays 1st $87.50 and 2nd $57.00.
