Tiebreak order matters

Gacrux calculates the selected criteria in their saved order. A criterion is used only when players remain tied after the previous one. Open Tournament settings to review the complete list and the description of each criterion.

Values during the tournament

Opponent-based values can change after every result and may be intentionally unavailable before enough rounds exist. This is especially important for cut criteria and Round Robin events. A blank or deferred value is not automatically an error.

Create prize categories

Open Prizes and define the overall prize list and optional categories such as rating band, age, federation or another tournament field. Set the number of places, amounts or descriptions, and the policy for overlapping eligibility.

Preview before final assignment

Run the assignment preview after the final standings are stable. Inspect ties, category eligibility and duplicate-winner rules. Change the prize policy or participant fields if the preview does not match the published regulations.

Export the result

The prize report is available with the other tournament reports. Generate it only after final corrections to results and player categories, and keep the exported report with the tournament backup.
