Seeded playoffs can be used for tournaments where positioning of teams in the playoff is not based on rankings from a prior phase, but instead based on seeding teams to position them in the first level of the playoff. A Playoff type phase can have up to 4 four levels; Preliminary Final (P), Quarter Final (Q), Semi Final (S) and Final (F). A selection of levels must be made when creating the playoff.

A matrix can be used to populate a seeded playoff, meaning that the winner and loser of games in each level of the playoff will follow the path of the matrix. This type of playoff can be used for grading tournaments or knockout tournaments.
