Frequently Asked Questions
What pairing systems are supported for internal academy tournaments?
The tournament engine supports both Swiss System (FIDE compliant) and Round-Robin (Arena) formats with automated tie-breaks (Buchholz, Sonneborn-Berger).
Can we restrict tournament entry to specific training levels or batches?
Yes. Coaches can organize open academy-wide championships or closed batch cups limited to Level 0-1 beginners so novices don't face advanced tournament kids.
Are podium certificates generated automatically after the final round?
Yes. The system automatically awards digital gold, silver, and bronze podium badges and generates academy-branded downloadable PDF certificates for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
