Version history

Development steps and new features of Turnierplan.eu

Planned version

1.0.4

Planned feature

New playout modes (x3, x5, x7)

New playout modes allow clean placement matches below the main round.

Teams below the top positions can determine their placements separately.

For example, with 9 teams, the lower placements can be decided through separate matches.

The x3, x5, and x7 modes allow flexible placement systems for different participant counts.

This makes placement matches much cleaner and more flexible.
