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 Configuración at the bottom of the sidebar.

   

2. Open the Tabla de posiciones tab.

   

3. Turn on Retener los playoffs hasta publicarlos.

   

4. Click Guardar todos los cambios de configuración. The schedule isn’t affected.

   

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

   

6. Select the division if your event has several, then click Publicar los playoffs.

   

7. Confirm. To tell the division’s players, first tick Avisar a los jugadores de esta división (notificación y correo).

   

8. Teams are placed in the playoffs from the current standings. The button now reads Sincronizar cabezas de serie de los playoffs, which places them again after a later change to the standings.
