The most common tournament and league formats in American football

Choose the format that fits your competition – Blyzer generates the schedule, standings and bracket. You can set up any format in the wizard in a few minutes.

Groups + play-off

Teams are split into groups, play round-robin, and the best advance to a knockout bracket. The most common format for one-day flag football tournaments.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → number of groups and advancing teams → Generate groups → Generate play-off.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → 1 group, no play-off → Generate matches.

Guides and FAQ

American football – FAQ

Is it suitable for flag football and school tournaments too?

Yes. 5-on-5 or 7-on-7 flag football uses the same schedule, results and standings as tackle football – Blyzer handles school and corporate tournaments just as well.

How are standings calculated – by points or by win-loss record?

You set the points for a win, draw and loss yourself. You can use a classic win-loss record or the points system your competition uses.

What if a match ends in a draw?

You enter the draw as a regular result and the standings apply your points settings. In the play-off you can set the match to be decided in overtime.

How many teams do I need for a tournament?

3 teams are enough for a round-robin. With 6–8 teams we recommend 2 groups + play-off; with more teams, use more groups or a knockout bracket.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run an American football tournament or league at no charge.
