You can create a Bracket competition directly from the competition creation wizard in SalesScreen. The Bracket format runs participants through a Preliminary Round and up to three elimination rounds — Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Final — until one winner remains.
Prerequisites
Plan: Pro and Enterprise.
Role: Admin or Manager with competition creation rights
Steps:
Go to Competitions and click "+Create New", the blue button on top right.
Click on Bracket to create it:
On the Participants step, select your participant type:
User vs User — individuals compete against each other
Team vs Team — existing teams compete head-to-head
Custom Team vs Custom Team — create temporary cross-team groups (e.g., users from different teams placed together for the duration of the competition)
Remember; that you can filter by team/departments - you don't have to search for every single user:
On the next step, fill in the following:
Title — displayed on the competition slide in TV playlists (this can also be done in step 1)
Description (optional) — shown on the competition slide for context
Compete on — choose the metric (e.g., Sales, Meetings)
When is it? In this step you will be asked to set rounds.
First - make sure you set how many rounds you want, minimum 2 and maximum 4.
When you set the Preliminary round, click on "Continue" to be able to set the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and so on.
As you can see, we have set a few suggestions for how long each round typically lasts, feel free to set your own timeframe:
4. On the Prizes step, optionally add one or more prizes. Select Custom or Coins, enter a name and description, and click + Save. You can define prizes for multiple placement positions (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) if you click on "Other" to get the possibility to create multiple prizes:
5. On the Finish step:
Choose Publish immediately or Save as draft.
If publishing immediately, select the playlist(s) you want the competition to appear on.
Toggle Show competition events on or off as needed.
Click Save and publish
