Pretty easy and Straightforward, first you will need it to be enabled on your organization, To do that you will need to click on the intercom button in the corner of your screen while logged in to Battlefy. Then, give us your request and the URL of your organization.


โ€‹Warning: You need to request the featured to be enabled for your organization before creating the tournament.

Step #1
Create your brackets, head to your tournament page > Manage > brackets > Create a Ladder Bracket

Step #2
On the 2nd step, you will need to provide some information about your Ladder bracket:
1- Bracket Name (This is useful if you have multiple brackets in the same tournament).
2 - Start Date of the Ladder
3 - End Date of the Ladder
4 - The Start Time of the Ladder for each day
5 - How long will the Matchmaking be available each day (up to 8 hours)

In the example image at the bottom, the Bracket will allow players to access matchmaking from 10/06 to 17/06, specifically from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM of each day.

6 - Minimum matches to play before being ranked. (This is important to prevent players from reaching a high score with too small amount of matches, which could be attributed to luck)

7 - Defines many players with the best scores are shown separately in the rankings. (This is extra important if your Ladder stage qualifies players for a different bracket.

8 - How participants are ranked.

9 - Defines how many games they play against a given opponent for each matchup.

That's all regarding creation!
