Repechage gives competitors who have already lost a path back into the competition for a bronze medal. It is common in judo, wrestling, and taekwondo. Eligibility depends on the specific ruleset in use.

How many matches does single elimination produce?

Exactly n − 1 matches, where n is the number of participants. With 16 participants you get 15 matches. Adding repechage increases this by roughly 20–30% depending on the system.

How long will my tournament take?

Total duration depends on match count, average match length, changeover time, and number of mats or stations. The estimator calculates this for you based on your specific format and setup.

We are accepting a small number of clubs to test Event Planning before the public launch. Selected clubs get Club tier free for one year — smaller clubs up to 15 athletes fully included, larger clubs with unlimited athletes. Spots are limited.

What is a bracket?

A bracket is the map of a competition: who plays whom, who moves forward, who drops into repechage or a loser bracket, and how a winner or medal placement is decided.

Read the bracket guide

Single elimination

One loss ends the run. Fast, simple, and easy for athletes and spectators to understand.

Round robin

Everyone meets everyone. More matches, better ranking data, and useful for small divisions.

Swiss

A fixed number of rounds with pairings based on current record. Common when full round robin is too large.

Repechage

A second path to bronze or placement for selected athletes, depending on the sport and ruleset.
