Blackjack tournaments
Open a bracket, drop the link in your chat, and everyone plays at their own table. No queue to manage, no accounts to make, nothing to pay. You can play in it, or just run it and watch.
Run one in a minute
- Open the game and go to Multiplayer → Tournaments.
- Name it, pick a size (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128) and choose whether you’re playing too.
- Share the link or the six-letter code. Players join from the link, even on their first visit: a name is all they need.
- Start whenever you like with two or more players. The bracket fills the gaps with byes.
- When a table opens, both players get a Sit down button. The bracket updates live as tables finish.

The matches get longer
Early rounds are quick. From the quarterfinals on, they stretch out, and the final is a proper fight:
| Round | Win | Or |
|---|---|---|
| Round of 128 | First to 5 | 3 in a row |
| Round of 64 | First to 5 | 3 in a row |
| Round of 32 | First to 5 | 3 in a row |
| Round of 16 | First to 5 | 3 in a row |
| Quarterfinals | First to 7 | 4 in a row |
| Semifinals | First to 8 | 4 in a row |
| Final | First to 10 | 5 in a row |
Smaller brackets start further down the table: an 8-player bracket opens with the quarterfinals.
Good to know
- Single elimination. Tournaments never change anyone’s rating.
- Somebody who doesn’t sit down within 4 minutes of their table opening goes out, and their rival goes through.
- The host can remove players before the start.
- Players who step away keep their seat: rejoin with the code from the same device.
