Game Mode
Bracketed multi-game series. Single-elim, double-elim, round-robin. 4 to 32 teams. Each match runs as its own game in any mode you want, and the bracket auto-advances the second a match ends.
Captured from a live game
From seeding to trophy
Drop in your teams. 4, 8, 16, 32. Manually rank them or let the bracket randomize. Persistent team identities stick across every match.
Pick a format: single-elim, double-elim with a losers bracket, or round-robin where every team plays every team. Bracket renders. Public display URL drops in your hand.
Trivia round, Brainpardy duel, Lightning showdown, whatever. Each match is a real Brainflood game with the team identities pre-loaded.
Final scores report back. Winner moves up. Public display flips. Tiebreaker rules (W/L, then point-diff, then points-for) handle close calls without a host argument.
Final round, trophy graphic on the display, bragging rights for a season. Re-seed the same teams next quarter and run it again.
What makes it shine
Most trivia software treats each night as a one-off. Tournaments treat eight weeks as one event with a real arc.
"The Brainiacs" stays "The Brainiacs" across every match. Same colors, same logo, same regulars. Records build over weeks.
Pick the format, pick the team count, you're done. Single-elim, double-elim with losers bracket, full round-robin. We handle byes and odd-team padding.
Big-screen display URL. Live matches glow. Completed matches show scores. Walk-ins can see exactly where the league stands at a glance.
Match wraps. Winner pops up to the next slot. No manual bracket bookkeeping, no pen-and-paper sheet pinned to the wall.
Round-robin gets messy with three teams at 4-1. Brainflood resolves with W/L → head-to-head → point-differential → points-for. No spreadsheet, no debate.
Round 1 is classic trivia. Quarters are Brainpardy. Final is Lightning. Mix modes across rounds for variety. Same bracket, different formats.
A tournament round is just an Activity inside an Event. So a tournament night can also include a karaoke set, a slideshow, and a poll on the same calendar slot. The venue projector cycles bracket display, leaderboard, and karaoke queue from one URL. No second laptop, no second host.
Where it works
Tournaments need a returning crowd. They reward venues that already have a Tuesday trivia night and want to take it up a notch.
