As an organizer, you have the ability to assign points to the participants on your tournament page and then use those points to seed your bracket(s).

First, you need to enable Participant Points in the tournament settings to make this feature available.

(Manage -> Setup -> Settings)

Assigning points to participants

Head to the Participants section (Manage ->Participants), where you will notice a Points column.

There are 2 ways to assign points

  1. Assign points directly on the page by clicking the edit points button and entering a value

  2. By importing points via a CSV file.

    First, you need to Export Info (button is found on the Manage ->Participants page).

    Open the CSV file you just downloaded and assign points to all the participants that should have them. For team-based games, you may assign points to individual players and the website will sum them up per team, or you may assign all team points to a single team member.

    Once you have assigned all the points, save the csv file without making any changes to other columns and import it via the Import Info button.

    You may further adjust points by using method #1.

    Note: You can only upload points to real users on Battlefy. Manually created teams/players cannot be uploaded via CSV. You can set points on manually created teams/players using method #1.

Seeding bracket by points

When Auto-seeding a bracket, choose one of the ‘By Points’ options

By Points Ascending:

  • The participant with the lowest amount of points is given the highest seed.

  • Participants with no points are seeded lower than participants with points, in registration order.

By Points Descending:

  • The participant with the highest amount of points is given the highest seed.

  • Participants with no points are seeded lower than participants with points, in registration order.

To randomize seeds for participants with no points, lock seeding for all participants with points, then click the ‘Shuffle Current Seeds’ button.
