Third-fourth place match or consolation game in tournament brackets

This is another feature requested by a lot of our users in our feedback forum: the third-forth place match for bracket tournaments.

So, if you’re organizing a knockout competition and want to assign also the bronze medal, you can do it so easily with Konkuri! From now onwards all bracket tournaments will have by default the third place game. You don’t even need to set it up.

The losing semi-finalists will be placed automatically in the third place match and you will just have to enter the game result.

Just in case you want not to have the match, go to the Draw/results page, click on the “setup tournament” button and choose the option “no” third place, as you can see in the image…

But, would you really take away an occasion for the losing semi-finalists to salvage some pride? ;-)

Have fun!

New feature: custom league table points for win-draw-loss

To reduce the pain of setting up the tournament, in Konkuri every sport or game comes with specific presets. This applies, for instance, to the league table points given for win, draw, loss.

However, we noticed that some users used to create many tournaments with the very same name and a different sport in order to find out the right scoring system they needed. Now, this is no more necessary.

Indeed, from now onwards the tournament manager can customize the points for win/draw/loss as he likes, regardless of the sport or game he has chosen.

Tournament Setup
In your tournament site, the setup box will automatically show the league table “Points for” win/draw/loss, as you can see in the image. In this way everyone will be able to see the points assigned before entering any result.

How to change the default settings
In round robin leagues, go to the Tables page and click on the “configure tables” button. Then you will be able to enter the win/draw/loss points you prefer, as showed in the image.

In the groups + playoff leagues you will find this feature by clicking the “Setup group stage” button. Then, you can enter the new W/D/L values for all the groups.
