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
Assign points directly on the page by clicking the edit points button and entering a value
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.
You can also create this CSV from scratch. This will require up to three column headers in the correct order and with proper capitalization:userID
inGameName
points
To update points for current players you need userID and points if points are enabled on the tournament.
To update names of players userID and inGameName are required.
To update names and the tournament has points enabled you will need all three columns.
Lines with a blank userID and at least inGameName will create a fake player for solo 1v1 tournaments only. It is not possible to bulk update fake players so inGameName and points need to be included upon first create or the system will just make more fake players if multiple uploads occur.
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.
