Tournaments

All players on GamePoint can organize tournaments. Official GamePoint Tournaments organized by our Tournament Directors have priority. Popular games have special tournament rooms for TD’s and Players. Keep to the players tournament rooms if you do not wish to have to change a room when a official tournament is starting.

When creating a tournament you can choose between two tournament types:

Knock-out

A simple tournament that follows the lose you’re out rule. Winner advances to the next round. Tournament ends when only one player is left.

Poule

A much more custom tournament option. Multiple games are played – players with the highest amount of points advance to the next round. How many poules and round there are depends on the settings and amount of players that are in the tournament.

Go to the tournaments page on GamePoint.
