Setting Up the Field: Creating and Seeding Brackets

R2 Sports takes the confusion out of building your event draws. This quick guide breaks down exactly how to manage participant lists, assign custom seeding, and switch bracket formats to fit any size division in seconds.

What This Video Explains:

  • The Divisions Dashboard: How to access your main hub to track entries, view conflicts, and see the number of rounds required per division from the top menu [00:01].

  • Assigning Custom Seeds: Step-by-step instructions for pinning top players to custom slots, along with how the system automatically fills out remaining slots based on geography and club data [00:39].

  • Modifying the Draw: How to easily swap player locations inside a live bracket tree using simple drop-down fields [01:16].

  • Changing Formats on the Fly: A complete look at converting small groups into a Round Robin format or adding a second-chance bracket by switching to Double Elimination [01:55], [02:49].

  • Summary of How It Works::

    Building your draws is quick and automated. Every group starts as a standard bracket. To organize matchups, you simply open the seeding layout and type numbers next to your top participants. The system automatically balances the rest of the players using automatic criteria like state, city, or club location to ensure a fair mix [00:55]. If you need to make adjustments later, you can swap player positions seamlessly with drop-down layout choices.

    For smaller entry lists or multi-match groups, you can convert the entire format using Division Options [02:07]. The software adapts instantly—whether you need to generate a five-player Round Robin grid where the top seeds square off in the final round, or a full Double Elimination setup with a complete consolation side. Everything calculates instantly behind the scenes so your operations stay smooth and professional at any level of play.
