Tournament Modes

Tournament modes are a new concept which applies to tournaments that are run in season-enabled environments. They affect three distinct parts of the tournament process as follows:

  • Tournament Entry: The different modes limit which teams are allowed to enter a tournament: Teams may be required to be in end-of-season state, and teams with more games played in the season than allowed in the ruleset may be excluded from joining.
  • During tournament behaviour: The redraft behaviour during a tournament is affected. Some modes will allow redrafting during the tournament (most won't). There are also controls for if a team may manually end their season mid-tournament.
  • Tournament Exit behaviour: This affects what happens with teams once they exit the tournament. In certain cases, the teams will be forced into end-of-season state or even forced into redrafting.

The list of tournament modes are defined as follows:

   Entry  During  Exit 
 Tournament Mode  Require end-season  Allow excess games  Redraft mode  Allow end season  Redraft mode 
 Transparent  No  Yes  Default  Default  Default 
 Free-form  No  Yes  None  No  Default 
 Minor  No  No  None  No  Default 
 Qualifier  Yes  No  None  No  End Season 
 Major  Yes  No  None  No  Redraft 
 Invitational  Yes  Yes  None  No  Redraft
