Q: What is this tool for?

C'est un gestionnaire complet de concours en poules : il tire les poules de 4, gère tous les matchs (avec le système classique gagnants / perdants / barrage), calcule les classements, puis enchaîne automatiquement sur un ou plusieurs tableaux finals à élimination directe (A, B, C) jusqu'aux vainqueurs. Idéal pour gérer un concours du début à la fin sur un écran, avec impression et sauvegarde.

Q: I closed the page, did I lose everything?

Non, si vous aviez cliqué SAUVEGARDER : le concours se recharge tout seul. Par sécurité, exportez régulièrement le fichier .json .

Q: How many teams at most?

Jusqu'à 332 équipes (ou joueurs en tête-à-tête).

Q: What's the difference between AB and ABC?

1. What is this tool for?

It is a complete pools competition manager : it draws the pools of 4, manages all the matches (with the classic winners / losers / playoff system), calculates the standings, then automatically continues on one or more final single-elimination brackets (A, B, C) up to the winners. Ideal for running a competition from start to finish on a single screen, with printing and backup.

2. Tournament settings

Setting	Role
Club / competition	The name shown in the header of printouts and PDFs.
Date	The competition date (automatically filled with today's date).
Number of teams	From 4 to 332 teams (or players in head-to-head).
Formation	Head-to-head, Doublette or Triplette — changes the number of players to enter per team.
Bracket after the pools	Then AB (2 brackets) or Then ABC (3 brackets) — see section 8.

3. Update / Draw the pools

UPDATE : applies the number of teams and rebuilds the pools in order (pool 1 = teams 1-2-3-4, etc.).

DRAW THE POOLS : performs a random draw of the pools (random order of teams).

💡 The pools are formed in groups of 4. If a small number remains, the last pool may have 3.

4. The team list

In the left column, each card lets you enter the team / captain name, the city / club and the player names (the number of player fields adapts to the formation). Everything is optional.

5. The 4 tabs

Groups : the match sheets for each pool, with score entry and statistics.
Pools standings : the detailed standings of each pool (wins, points for/against, qualification).
A / B / C brackets : the final single-elimination trees built with the qualifiers.
Full grid : a table view of the whole competition.

6. How a pool unfolds (4 teams)

The software follows the official 4-team pool system:

1^st round : 2 matches (teams 1-2 and 3-4).
2^e winners round : the two winners face off → the winner is qualified 1st^st.
2^e losers round : the two losers face off → the loser is eliminated from the pool.
Playoff : the loser of the winners' match against the winner of the losers' match → the winner is qualified 2nd^e.

The matches of the following rounds appear automatically as soon as the previous matches are entered.

7. Enter scores (click on the winner)

Click on thewinning team (its number or its score box): it automatically gets 13.

A small window opens with the numbers 0 to 12 : choose the loser's score. Both scores fill in at once.

The winning team turns green. You can also type the scores directly on the keyboard.

8. Qualification & AB / ABC modes

Each pool qualifies 2 teams (the 1st^st and the 2nd^e) to the A bracket. The others are distributed according to the chosen mode:

Mode	Distribution
Then AB	A = the 2 qualifiers from each pool · B = all the other teams (consolation).
Then ABC	A = the 2 qualifiers · B = the 3rd^th · C = the 4th^th (and the eliminated from the 1st^st round of the A/B brackets).

9. The final A / B / C brackets

They are single-elimination trees automatically fed by the pool qualifiers.
The rounds are named automatically: Round of 32, Round of 16, Round of 8, quarters, semi-finals, final.
Score entry works as in the pools (click on the winner).
At the end, a banner “🏆 Winner Competition A / B / C” is displayed (with a blinking effect).

10. Standings & full grid

The tab Pools standings sorts each pool by wins, then point difference, then points scored. The tab Full grid gives an exportable overview.

11. Large screen mode

The button LARGE SCREEN MODE switches to full screen display (ideal for projecting during the competition). A toolbar offers several views:

100% live matches : shows only the unfinished pools + the ongoing bracket matches.
Pool matches : compact display of all the pools.
Display by round : choose the round to display (1st^st round, 2nd^e winners, 2nd^e losers, playoff, to competition).
A / B / C bracket : displays a final tree in large size.
Print this page : captures the displayed view as PDF.

12. Save & resume

The button SAVE saves the competition in this browser. When the page is reopened, the competition is reloaded automatically (teams, scores, brackets).

13. Export / Import the backup

EXPORT BACKUP : downloads a file .json full (to transfer to another PC or to archive).
IMPORT BACKUP : reloads a file .json previously exported.

14. Export PDF & Print

EXPORT PDF : generates a summary PDF of the competition.
PRINT : launches printing of the current view, A4 landscape layout, black on white (economical on ink).

15. Clear results

The button CLEAR RESULTS clears all scores (after confirmation) while keeping the teams and the pools, to start entering again.

16. Frequently asked questions

I closed the page, did I lose everything?

No, if you had clicked SAVE : the competition reloads itself. For safety, regularly export the file .json.

How many teams at most?

Up to 332 teams (or players in head-to-head).

What's the difference between AB and ABC?

AB = 2 brackets (main + consolation). ABC = 3 brackets, to give more games to teams eliminated early.
