ProAM Royal Rumble

For this new year and our first PS5 tournament, we want to do something different! !

We used to make single elimination brackets but they are too drastic and some teams can be eliminated in the first round without proving themselves.

So we thought about a system that will give more fun to the organizer and the players and grow the chance of every participating teams to win !
So we focused on 3 elements :

  1. The duration of the tournament
  2. The excitement of the games
  3. Number of games to play

This is why we decided to go for the format! Round Swiss !

We see you coming… no, we don’t copy the NBA2KLEAGUE, we had thought long before about this Swiss format 😉

How the Round Swiss Format Works ?

The Swiss-system tournament is a non-eliminating tournament format that features a fixed number of rounds of compétition depending on the number of participants. It gives all teams or participants a fair chance to progress through to the elimination stages of any given tournament. Additionally, it gives those teams equally balanced matches of people on the same score.

The advantage of this format is that as the Swiss Round progresses, the matches become more and more balanced and you don’t especially know who you are going to play against until the end of the previous round because you are playing against teams with the same results as your team.

Explanation

The basic idea is “winners play winners; losers play losers”. Even if a team loses its first game, it is still possible for it to finish high in the final rankings if it wins all of its other games.
  • Round 1
Every team start with a record of 0-0 so everyone is in the same group and play another team once.
  • Round 2
Each team that win plays another team that win. (1 Win -0 Loose) – Each team that lost plays another team that lost. (0 Win – 1 Loose)
  • Round 3
– each team that has won two games plays another team that has won two games. (2 Win -0 Loose) – each team that has won one game and lost one game plays another team that has won one game and lost one game. (1 Win – 1 Loose) – each team that has lost two games plays another team that has lost two games. (0 Win – 2 Loose)
  • Round 4, 5, 6….
And so on for the successive rounds.

Cashprize

At the end of all rounds a ranking will be established.

The TOP 4 will be sent to a mini knockout tournament in BO3 with the final in BO5 to try to win the 500€ cashprize.

Will you be able to finish the tournament without losing any matches?
