Most youth sports include a two stage tournament. But, they use a pool structure to guarantee a game minimum. If Challonge can create a pool stage which can easily enable teams to be placed in to brackets (based on pool outcomes or just manually). It would open up several more sports (volleyball, baseball, softball, field hockey, lacrosse etc.)

I'd like a variation of this, but in a EVO-Like format

Hello Dev Team of Challonge.com
I see in this thread that the implementation and work of RR -> SE/DE is in the work and I think that as soon as this has been implemented, you will be better than BinaryBeast.com.
This as BB currently has the functionality, but not the sweet user-interface where I can change the round title's in any way I want to.
Currently, I must say that I prefer Challonge over BB, but BB will win the fight for larger tourney's where a Round Robin starts off and i.e. top 4 from each group advance to a Single or Double Elimination bracket.
Keep up the good work and I hope to see the function implemented within a short period of time.
PS. Would be great to get an info-mail on this or a possibility to join a newsletter so I can get updates DS.

I would love this!!! It would help me run my tournaments alot. I run a round robin into 2 double elimination brackets for cornhole so that I can also seed the brackets for prizes in each.
Please keep me informed!!!

An additional setup to this. If I run a Swiss style tournament on Saturday, I would like the results of that tournament to seed my single elimination bracket on Sunday.
Secondly, I would like the losers of the single elim. to be dropped down to an additional single elimination. This is a fairly standard Ultimate Frisbee tournament setup.
Now the kicker. I am running a tournament on Feb 16th & 17th of 2013. I would LOVE to have this running by then if possible. PLEEEEEEEEEEASE...lol

Hope to have this soon... my idea is round robin on group stage then get the top 32 or 16 or 8 will be rack on knowout stage, each knock out stage will be rank again to get the top result.
Stage 1: (round robin in each group)
Stage 2: (top1 vs top16)/(top2 vs top15)... so on..., result will be rank 1-8 again
Stage 3: (top1 vs top8)/(top2 vs top7).. so on..., result will be rank 1-4 again
Stage 4: Semi Finals (1 vs 4)/(2 vs 3)
Stage 5: Finals (3 vs 4)(1 vs 2)Hope this is clear. Thank you and more power guys

In billiards it is also very typical to have double elimination going to 1/2 or 1/4 final and then turning into single elimination, is this scenario going to be addressed?

This will be addressed in the next _major_ site update. Sorry for the long delay! I'm transitioning Challonge! from a pet project to something larger and getting at least one other developer involved.

ugh, can't believe so much time has passed since my Jan 30 comment. Look for a site layout change first, then additional features will start landing.

A common type of tournament that is run at my local game shop is as follows:
Preliminaries: 3-5 rounds of swiss
Top 4-8 Finals: Scores carry over from Prelims for pairings
Single Elimination (with match for 3rd place if needed)
--Highest seed plays lowest each round
----(1&8, 2&7, 3&6, 5&4)
----(1&4,2&3)
----(1&2)Would love to see this type of tournament to be possible as its a lot more work to properly configure a separate Challonge for Top 8, increasing the down time between Prelims and Finals
