Last updated August 5, 2024
VICI Sports offers a variety of game modes to cater to different playing styles and preferences. Understanding the different modes available for each game is essential to choosing the right ones for you and maximizing your chances of success.
Common Game Modes
- Single-Elimination: This is a classic tournament format where players are eliminated after a single loss. Each match consists of a best-of-series, and the winner advances to the next round.
- Double-Elimination: This format offers a second chance for players who lose their first match. They get placed in the "lower bracket" where they can continue competing for a chance to reach the final round.
- Round-Robin: Players compete against every other participant in the tournament. Each player plays a set number of matches, and the player with the most wins at the end is declared the winner.
- Swiss System: This format uses a pairing system where players with similar records are matched against each other. It creates a balance between competitive matchmaking and ensuring everyone gets a fair chance to advance.
- Free-for-All: This mode involves a large number of players competing against each other simultaneously. The last player remaining undefeated wins the match.
- Team Modes: Many games offer team-based formats where players join forces with teammates to compete against other teams. These modes typically involve coordination and strategic planning.
By choosing the game mode that best suits your skills, preferences, and available time, you'll be able to select the right tournaments and leagues for a more enjoyable and rewarding competitive experience on VICI Sports.
