SquadsSpace generates groups automatically based on your configuration. You set the rules — the platform builds the groups and assigns teams.

​
How It Works

  1. Set group size — how many teams per group (e.g., 12)
  2. Set group count — the platform can calculate this from total teams ÷ group size, or you can set it manually
  3. Set assignment preferences — how you want registrations distributed (e.g., balanced across groups)
  4. Choose invited slot handling — spread across groups or dedicated group
  5. Click Generate — the platform creates all groups and assigns teams instantly

​
Assignment Preferences

When registrations are assigned to groups, you can set preferences:
  • Balanced — teams are distributed as evenly as possible across all groups. If you have 192 teams and 16 groups, each group gets exactly 12 teams.

​
Handling Invited Slots

If your stage has invited teams, you decide how they’re placed:

​
Spread Across Groups

Invited teams are distributed evenly across all groups. Each group gets roughly the same number of invited teams. Example: 6 invited teams across 3 groups = 2 invited teams per group. The remaining slots in each group are filled by qualified teams.

​
Dedicated Invited Group

All invited teams go into their own separate group(s). Qualified teams fill the other groups. Example: 24 invited squads → the platform creates 2 dedicated “Invited” groups of 12. The remaining 168 qualified teams fill the other 14 groups.
Tip: Use dedicated groups when you want invited teams to compete among themselves first before mixing with qualified teams in later stages.

​
Scaling

The group creation system works the same whether you have 12 teams or 192:
  • 12 teams, 1 group of 12 — simple scrim setup
  • 48 teams, 4 groups of 12 — standard qualifier
  • 192 teams, 16 groups of 12 — large-scale open tournament with 24 invited slots in 2 dedicated groups
You set the preferences once. The platform handles the rest.

​
After Groups Are Created

Once groups are generated, you can:
  • View all groups and their team assignments in your dashboard
  • Start scheduling and running matches for each group
  • Groups are independent — enter results for any group at any time
