Challonge's default setting for round robin tournaments is to rank by match wins. However, there are plenty more ranking options than that can break ties in different ways. One of those ranking options being our custom point system. Here is how to find and use it for your own tournaments:


First navigate to the 'Settings' tab in your tournament.

Next, in the 'Game Info' section of the tournament settings find the 'Rank by" drop down menu and select 'Custom (points system)'


From here you will see this screen and have the ability to customize how points are awarded.


Additionally, Swiss tournaments default to this type of customization.
