# Head-to-head match play

Head-to-head match play tournaments are simple but versatile. Over a number of rounds, players are paired against each other in two-player games. Each game win results in a point earned. At the end of the tournament, the player with the most points is the winner.

**Value of byes**

By default, any player who receives a bye will receive one point for that round. This setting can be changed to award either half a point or no points at all.
