Different Types of Tournaments?

[cdogs1964]

The page talks about tournament goals as if the game is a single-player game only. What if you have a head-to-head game and you want to have a tournament where it is single elimination and the winner moves forward to the next level? For example, let's say we want to have an 8-player tournament where it randomly assigns each player 1 to 8. In round 1, 1 play 4, 2 plays 3, 5 plays 8 and 6 plays 7. The winner of 1 and 4 plays the winner of 2 and 3. The winner of 5 and 8 plays the winner of 6 and 7. The winner of these 2 games plays each other to determine the winner of the tournament. Is this possible? For 16? 32? 64? Etc.

Our docs say tournaments to mean competitive events that occur over some period of time while the commentor is looking for support of match-based elimination brackets. I can see how this is the expectation given the use of tournaments in other contexts. We can update the language to not use "tournament" and instead describe the supported time-based experiences.
