In most chess tournaments held since the middle of the 19th century, there has been a very simple scoring system used. Players who scored a win in a game were awarded a point, while those scoring draws were given a half-point. Losing a game, as you might expect, was worth zero points. Bracket HQ's bracket maker allows you to make a bracket of any size and properly seed all participants.

Tournament Bracket Point System

Here are the new and improved point system benefits for all of our teams:

• The team with the most points as of the start of a tournament will have choice of Home or Visitor in Pool Play. If teams are tied, Home or Visitor will be determined by a coin toss.
• When two teams with the same seed meet in Championship Play, the team with the most points as of the start of the tournament will have choice of Home or Visitor. If teams are tied, Home or Visitor will be determined by a coin toss. Note: If different seeded teams meet in Championship Play, the higher seed will still have choice of Home or Visitor.
• Seeding for the State Tournament will continue to be determined by a weighted average of USSSA Points and USSSA Power Rankings.
