King of the Court
Multi-court rotation where winners move up and challengers move in.
What it does
King of the Court is a continuous format rather than a bracket: players rotate across courts, with winning pairs moving toward the top court and losing pairs moving down. Brakto runs rounds, tracks the rotation, and keeps standings across the session.
