How to hold the playoffs until you release them

Normally, teams are placed in the playoffs as soon as pool play ends. If you’d rather check the standings first, for example to settle a protest or correct a score, hold the playoffs. Teams stay out of the bracket until you release them, and from then on the playoffs follow the standings again.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event to turn the hold on, and to manage its results to release the playoffs.
• The hold is a standings setting, so it applies per division when the divisions use different settings.

Steps

1. In your event’s planner, click Einstellungen at the bottom of the sidebar.

   

2. Open the Tabellen tab.

   

3. Turn on Playoffs bis zur Freigabe zurückhalten.

   

4. Click Alle Einstellungsänderungen speichern. The schedule isn’t affected.

   

5. When pool play is over and the standings are right, click Tabellen in the planner’s sidebar.

   

6. Select the division if your event has several, then click Playoffs freigeben.

   

7. Confirm. To tell the division’s players, first tick Spieler dieser Division benachrichtigen (Push und E-Mail).

   

8. Teams are placed in the playoffs from the current standings. The button now reads Playoff-Setzliste synchronisieren, which places them again after a later change to the standings.
