Plan game day

Placement games so that every team has a place.

Without them, you end up with one winner, one finalist, and a bunch of teams that are “eventually eliminated.” With them, every team has one last game.

Placement games so that every team has a place.

In short

  • Game for 3rd place: the two semi-final losers, parallel to the final on the second field.
  • Places 5 to 8: the four quarter-final losers, two games and then the games for 5th and 7th place.
  • Each placement game costs one full slot. It's better to miss one than the final after the hall closes.

The game for third place

The losers of the two semi-finals play against each other. It is a single game and runs parallel to the final on two fields. It hardly takes any time.

In the event it is a single game in the final phase. You use the two teams as soon as the semi-finals have been played. There is a placeholder there beforehand.

Places five to eight

Same rule one round earlier. The four losers of the quarterfinals play two placement semifinals. Their winners play for 5th place, the losers for 7th place. That's four additional games.

If “places 5 to 8 shared” is enough for you, all four are eliminated. If one decision for fifth place is enough for you, it's three. The group phase is similar: the third places play for the places behind the qualifiers, the fourth places play for the last place.

Whatever time you need for it

Each placement game is a full slot. Eight teams with semi-finals, third place game and final are four knockout games after the group, not three. In two fields, the semi-finals are one wave, third place and the final are the next.

It's better to cancel a placement game than to whistle for the final after the hall closes.

Frequently asked questions

Does the game for third place change the group table?

No. It awards 3rd and 4th place. The event ranking list places the places from the knockout round above the group table.

Do the semi-final losers have to play again?

Only if you create the game. Without it, they share third place and both go home early.

Does this also work with double knockouts?

Every team plays at least two games there because the first defeat leads to the losers' bracket. The final of the losers' round decides third place, you don't need an extra game.

Create your first tournament. It costs nothing for up to eight teams.
