Top Cut Calculator
Note: Melee lookup is currently in testing but should be functional. Let us know in Discord if you run into any wonkiness with it.
Look up from Melee.gg (optional)

Notes
- This calculator does not factor in people dropping from the tournament or other situations that would lead to people getting paired up or down for each round.
- The impact of those outcomes skews the actual top cut record and chances vs what the calculated perfect numbers are via the tool.
- An example of this would be a 116 person event where there would be one 7-0 player, six 6-1, and then one person getting in at 5-2. In reality there are scenarios with people paired up/down where seven people could be 6-1 and therefore zero 5-2 players would make the cut.
- The impact of those outcomes skews the actual top cut record and chances vs what the calculated perfect numbers are via the tool.
- The number of rounds is calculated based on the number of players.
- Up to 8 players is 3 rounds, 16 players is 4 rounds, 32 players is 5 rounds, etc.
- The override checkbox can be used to change the number of rounds from the calculated value to a non-standard number.
- Unchecking the box will revert to the calculated value. Also note that with non-standard round numbers that the records and percentages to make the top cut can get a little wonky just due to the behind the scenes math.
- Designed with Star Wars Unlimited in mind, but technically would work for any type of Swiss pairing event.
