Matches

The bracket division clearly states which matches will be played in the first round. Since there are only 4 players per bracket, this round is actually a semi final.

End results

When all the matches are played and all the scores are submitted, the ‘Bracket’ screen should look something like this:

Bracket A:

Bracket B:

Since this tournament has two brackets (A and B), there are two winners. One per bracket. The ‘Results’ screen will look something like this:

Results bracket B:

The amount of points each player receives directly affects the ranking of the leaderboard that was connected to the tournament during the setup. The amount of points each player eventually receives is determined by the position of each player on the leaderboard. Every round and every mutual difference, in the ranking of the players, matters.
