# Single-elimination on a logged visit metric

What is a sales bracket contest is a single-elimination tree on one logged metric. Knockdesk is field sales software, and Bracket is one of nine Compete formats: Sprint, Marathon, Head to head, Team battle, Custom Team Challenge, Territory War, Survivor, Achievement race, and Bracket. Territory War is admin only.

## A group-chat bracket is not a sales bracket contest

You feel it when the graphic has eight names and nobody can say which visits counted. What is a sales bracket contest on this desk is the tree after enrollment is closed and the field is full. Maya's 6 appointments are visits on pins. Jordan's 4 are too. The loser is out. A Sprint that just ranks a list is a different format.

**Close the field.** Close enrollment before you generate the Bracket so the field is 4, 8, 16, or 32.

**Score the visit.** Pick the metric on Scoring, such as Appointments. Only logged visits in the window count.

**One of nine.** Sprint, Marathon, Head to head, Team battle, Custom Team Challenge, Territory War, Survivor, Achievement race, Bracket. Do not call every game a Bracket.

## Bracket sits beside eight other games, not on top of them

A sales bracket contest is the elimination tree. A Sprint is first to a target or highest score when the clock ends. Head to head is two people. Territory War is admin only. Pick the format that matches the week.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Compete runs Bracket as seeded, single-elimination on 4, 8, 16, or 32 people. Scoring reads a logged metric such as Appointments, which are visits already on the pin. A draft stays off the field. Territory War stays with admins. The other eight formats, including Bracket, can be started by an admin or a sales manager. Full desk is on the pricing page.
