How it works

Not complicated. Just clever.

TOT takes classic tournament logic and makes it live on mobile. One user plays seven matches; a million users crown one champion.

1
STEP ONE

Tournament loads.

You tap into an 8-item tournament. The system shuffles the items with Fisher-Yates. Each user gets a different order — zero bias.

2
FIRST MATCH

Two items appear.

The first two items in the shuffled order face off. You swipe right or left. Your pick wins, the other is out.

3
CHAIN CONTINUES

Winner stays.

The winner faces the third item. You swipe again. Someone wins, someone leaves. Again.

4
PROGRESS

Bar fills up.

The progress bar at the top fills with every match. You always know how much is left. No mystery.

5
FINAL MATCH

The final.

The last two items face off. In an 8-item tournament, this is the seventh match. n−1 formula: 8 items, 7 matches. Not more, not less.

6
RESULT

Champion screen.

Your champion is decided. At the same moment, the world's votes appear. Maybe the same. Maybe different. Often, an interesting story.

The algorithm, mathematically

Elimination chain, in one formula.

Half the matches of a classic tournament. Optimized for mobile — your thumb leaves before it gets tired.

FORMULA

n − 1 matches

In classic tournaments each round halves: 8 → 4 → 2 → 1. Seven matches total. The elimination chain matches that count but flows linearly.

n items = n − 1 matches
SHUFFLE

Fisher-Yates

A shuffle algorithm in use since 1938 with guaranteed uniform distribution. Which item appears first is pure chance — no biased ordering.

O(n) complexity
GLOBAL

One pool

Each user plays their own path, but every vote drops into the global pool. The real champion emerges there — decided by millions of users together.
