+Tournament Mode is never used in actual competitive play, due to a variety of limitations in the mode in comparison to the rather complex structures that serious tournaments require:
-*Tournament matches consist of a set of 3 or 5 games, while Tournament Mode only allows single game sets.

-*Tournament Mode forces players to remain a single character for the entire tournament, while actual tournaments allow players to use any character they want for any game in tournament.

+*Tournaments almost never use a single-elimination bracket, which is the only bracket type available in Tournament Mode.
-*Tournament Mode does not allow players to have any control over player position in bracket. This forces players to play with a randomized bracket, instead of a properly seeded bracket, which is an essential for a tournament to produce accurate results.
+*Tournaments require their brackets to be properly seeded for reasonable results, while Tournament Mode gives no control over seeding and forces a randomized bracket.
-*Tournament Mode has a maximum bracket size of 64 in ''Melee'' and 32 in ''Brawl'', when actual tournaments rarely enforce an entry cap and are capable of attendance exceeding these caps.
+*Tournaments rarely enforce a limit to the maximum number of players and can contain hundreds of participants, while Tournament Mode cannot handle more than a limited 64 in ''Melee'' and a paltry 32 in ''Brawl''.
-*A tournament in Tournament Mode can only exist on one setup, when actual tournaments require many setups to be run efficiently.
+*Tournaments require multiple setups to be run efficiently, while Tournament Mode can only exist on a single setup.
-*For the prospect of using Tournament Mode to keep track of a tournament, rather than actually playing a tournament with it, there exists tournament organizing programs such as [[tio]], which are much more efficient in aiding tournament organisation than Tournament Mode could ever be. Additionally, using Tournament Mode in such a way uses up setups that could be used to progress the tournament.
