Written by Preet Jain

Use the Playoff Builder to generate bracket-style playoffs for your league, complete with seeding, consolation options, and automatic game scheduling.

Requirements:

  • Available free with TeamLinkt Core.

Create a Playoff

  1. Go to Schedule > Playoffs and click Create.

  2. Enter the Name, Dates, Game Duration, and Time Between Games.

  3. Click Create.

  4. Set the Bracket Settings: Number of Teams, Consolation type (No Consolation, Full Consolation, Third Place Playoff, or Double Elimination), Start and End Date and Time, Round Frequency, and Division/Group.

Note: these settings can also be updated later from the Settings tab inside the playoff.

Update Settings After Creating

  • Configure Seeds: Manually update seeds, or use season standings to prefill them.

    Note: configure seeds before making any manual changes — configuring seeds rebuilds the brackets.

  • Games: Click Edit beside any game to update details such as teams, status, location, and date/time.

Add Another Bracket

Click Add Bracket next to the bracket dropdown to create an additional bracket within the same playoff.
