The day of the event
Software earns its money when something goes wrong at 9:40am — not in the planning meeting. These are the moments Brakto is built around.
A team drops at 9:40am
Rebuild the division in one click from its complete teams. If a match already has a score, the rebuild refuses rather than deleting it.
How rebuilds workSomeone never checks in
Preview every team that has not checked in after a configurable grace period, then apply the walkovers in one action. No played result is deleted.
Check-in and no-shows“What court am I on?”
Players answer that themselves. My Matches shows the next match, the court it is on, and how many matches are ahead — byes and TBD slots hidden.
See the player viewThe wall chart goes stale
A dedicated display view for the screen at the venue: courts, matches and live scores, designed for a TV rather than a phone browser.
See the TV display
One event, three screens
The organizer is on a laptop, players are on their phones, and the venue has a screen on the wall. Every page is responsive, from a 320px phone up to a TV.
- Organizer
The control room
Draw, courts, scores, withdrawals and the financial report in one admin view. Run it from a laptop, or from a phone in a pinch.
- Player
No app to install
Mobile-firstPlayers open a link on their phone to check in, see their next court, and follow results. The queue updates as the organizer scores.
- Venue
The screen on the wall
Put live courts, matches and standings on a TV at the venue, so the desk is not asked the same question all day.
One platform, ten formats
Format changes do not force a second tool. Every format below ships today — including double elimination with a winners bracket, losers bracket and a grand final.

What you get on the day
Registration, draw, courts, scores and results in one product — nothing to reconcile in a spreadsheet afterwards.
Live scoring and spectator view
Scores update standings, brackets and court assignments the moment you save — and spectators follow without asking staff.
Court scheduling and assignment
Generate the schedule and assign matches to courts and time slots, so the wall chart matches what the app thinks is happening.
QR check-in and no-show handling
Players check themselves in on arrival; you see a live roster, so no-shows can be replaced before the draw is final.
Bring your existing roster
Import players and ratings from CSV or Excel — or run a free offline event with no online registration at all.
TV display for the venue
Who is on which court, what is live and what is next — on a screen at the venue rather than a phone browser.
Embeddable brackets
Drop a live bracket or voting widget into your club’s own website with an iframe.
No black-box AI
Brackets, seeding and court assignments run on rules you can audit, so the same division gives the same draw every time. What is (and is not) automated
