TournamentSR / Pool Tournaments

Would like to see upgrade to run 2 and 4 pool tournaments with pool winners and runner ups going to final / semi finals.

Dan,
When you get a moment, please email us an example bracket showing the desired pool sizes and how you want to install the 4 finalists into an elimination ladder. Please email the information to tournamentsr@smartrunsys.com.

We need this to understand your requirements. For example, is a maximum of 6 wrestlers in each pool sufficient or are your pools larger? If more than 6 are needed in each pool, do you need some wrestlers discarded after losing a few matches?

Alex, here is a Google doc you should be able to view. I run a couple of tournaments a year and the ad's would like a pool option. We use baumspage.com now which works great but is not that user friendly. Here is a link to a tournament on that site I would love to see you offer the setup for.

By the way used for the first time yesterday (ECC at Milford High School) and it went great. I updated regularly so I had no need to provide brackets to anyone. Great product!

Dan - thank you for granting access to the information. I've downloaded the information and submitted an enhancement request.

Any luck with setting this up for this season?

Dan,

The enhancement was not addressed this summer and won't be available this season. We took too long getting 32-man, 1 day ladders and 64-ladder support.

I'm hoping we'll have time to add pool support this winter. The feature would then be available next spring or summer.

We are running our tournament this weekend and were just discussing wanting that same option. Have pools of 3-5 wrestlers, with the ability to send the pool winners to a championship match against each other or to a 4 man tourney. Would be a great way to guarantee tons of matches.

Today we approved adding pool tournament support for this fall. The work will be performed this summer and has not been completely specified. We need feedback on which round-robin and elimination bracket sizes need to be supported. We also need input on team point and tie-breaker rules needed to set the round-robin placings.

I will attempt to contact Dan and Pete (posted above). Anyone else who wants input on what support is needed should contact me at the email address: smartrun@comcast.net.

Looking for software to do the same exact thing. Was also maybe looking to have the second place in each pool go to a losers semi if the win they would wrestle for 5/6th place.
