The day of the event

  • 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 work
  • Someone 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 view
  • The 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.

  • Your roster is still a spreadsheet

    Import players and ratings from CSV or Excel in one step — or run a free offline event with no online registration at all.

    Bring your existing roster
  • Two matches, one court

    Generate the schedule and assign every match to a court and a time slot, so the wall chart matches what the app thinks is happening.

    Court scheduling and assignment
  • Your club site has no bracket

    Drop a live bracket or voting widget into your club’s own website with an iframe — no rebuild of your site.

    Embeddable brackets
  • Audience voting lives in a group chat

    Photo contests get their own public page with category polls, live results and a Best in Show finale — no shared spreadsheet of votes.
