===== Brackets =====
^ Config ID | Configuration ID to link this bracket to the configuration. |
^ Division ID | Set to 0 if all divisions have the same brackets, otherwise set the Division ID this bracket is valid for. |
^ Bracket number | Number the brackets if the match has more than one bracket. |
^ Games | Number of games in the bracket. |
^ Frames | Number of frames per game in this bracket. |
^ Players | Number of players per game in this bracket. Can be 0 (team game), 1 (singles), or 2 (doubles). |
^ Player check | Number defines how many times the same player is allowed to play in this bracket. Set to 0 to disable player check. |
^ Set Away\\ Set Home | If a sequence is defined in all brackets, then the player names are auto-filled following sequence in bracket 1. This list is comma separated, e.g. 1,2,3 for bracket 1 - 2,3,1 for bracket 2, etc. This allows to force playing a different player in all brackets, e.g. player 1 plays opposite player 1, then 2, then 3. |
^ Game Points | Number of points to award per game. Default is 1. Modify this to change game win points for specific brackets, for example the team game. |
^ Draw Points | Number of points to award per game for a draw. Default is 0. Draws can be enabled by bracket, if set to a value different from 0. |
^ Title | Title of the bracket, as it should be displayed in the Standings overview. |
<if league=pool || user=bco>
^ Special Games | Defines which special games (e.g. table runs) are enabled for the bracket. The runs are enabled (binary) bit-wise in sequence of the special games in Season setup. Refer to the numbers below, to enable Table Run, 8-Ball Run, and Break and Run for a bracket, set Special games for the bracket to 7. The special games to be displayed per bracket are the result of a bit-wise AND from the value set in the season and the value set here. If your league does not have different billiard games in different brackets, then you can leave Special Games on default value 65535 which enables all Special Games which are enabled in the season. |

^ Add the numbers below the Special Games you want to enable ^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Table run | 8-Ball run | 8-Ball break&run | 8-Ball on the break (winner) | 8-Ball on the break (loser) | 9-Ball run | 9-Ball break&run | 8-Ball on the break | 10-Ball run | 10-Ball break&run | 10-Ball on the break (winner) | 10-Ball on the break (loser) |
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 | 1024 | 2048 |

  - The names of the points cannot be modified.
  - Ordering defines in which order the points are considered in sorting for ranking, if the points are published. The respective next order is taken into account if the current order evaluates to an equal score. Enter the sequence number to change the order of sorting, for example change ordering to 3 for **game_points** to have it sorted before **draw_points**.
  - Only Aliases with the **Published** checkbox checked are considered for sorting.
  - Tap <span btngreen>{{fa>pencil-square-o}} Save</span> or <span btnwhite><span green>{{fa>check}}</span> Save %%&%% Close</span> after making changes to the points definition.
  - Definition here must be consistent with the points selected in season setup, which are added below for reference.

===== Calculation =====
^ K-factor | See formula in table below --> line **''d''** delta - rating change (The K-factor is divided by **Divider** in the formula in the table below) |
^ D-factor | See formula in table below --> line **p** win expectancy |
^ Base rating | The rating every player starts with when playing the first game |
^ Precision | The precision all rating calculations are done with |
^ Display precision | Decimal points displayed when higher precision is necessary for display |
^ Decimals | Decimal points to display |
^ Divider | Divider the internal rating representation is divided by. All internal calculations and database storage are done with integer numbers, so for example, to have a base rating of 5, 5000 is used, Divider should be 1000, and Decimals should be 3. |

  - **CAUTION**: if you change these settings you must recalculate all seasons already entered into the database. All ratings of all players throughout all seasons will be changed based on the new settings.
  - Tap <span btngreen>{{fa>pencil-square-o}} Save</span> or <span btnwhite><span green>{{fa>check}}</span> Save %%&%% Close</span> after making changes to the calculation formula.
  - The //Calculation Example// shows the rating change after 1 and after 100 games. The opponent in these calculations is always a player with Base rating.
