How to create Knockout tournaments?

Sort:
e4c5

I was wondering whether I can create a tournament with knockout options? Im trying to setup a tournament of 12 members with 2 group of six memeber each. And 3 qualifies for the next round. Therefore making 6 to the second and final round. Is it possible for me to set this up? Admin, please reply.

P.S: Group:123This must be less than 1/2 of the group size.

The original help entries will no longer work.

Gold members cannot create multi-round tournaments.

Note the help entry is incorrect. Basic members cannot create tournaments.

Here are examples of the format.
