# 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. ## Configuration options See also: [Common configuration options](/configuring-a-tournament/common-configuration-options.md). **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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
