How it works

Three steps to a bracket on the big screen

The organizer runs it from a phone. Everyone else just watches the bracket update.

1

Pick a format and add names

Choose single or double elimination, round robin, pools then playoff or King of the Beach (Help me choose suggests one from your time and courts), paste your list of names, then use a random draw or best-first seeding. No team cap.

2

Tap Who won?

One tap records each result. Winners advance, the next match is called, and every screen updates at once, including Playing now on Table 2.

3

Open the link, scan the QR or type the code

Tap the link on a phone, scan the QR code, or type the 5-letter code on any TV browser. Every screen shows the same live bracket.

Formats

Pick how your tournament runs

Same app, same live TV view. Brackets are free, with no team cap.

Single elimination

Lose once and you are out. Byes are placed for you when the count is not a power of two.

Seeding: Random drawBest first

Double elimination

Everyone gets a Second chance: lose once and you drop to the losers side. The Fair final gives the undefeated side a reset if the Second chance winner takes game one.

Round robin

Everyone plays everyone. The schedule is built for you, round by round, and the standings update after each result.

Pools, then playoff

Small pools play round robin, then the top teams from each pool go into a knockout. Pool winners meet runners-up from another pool, and you can start a playoff from any round robin.

King / Queen of the Beach

Players sign up solo and are split into pools of 4 to 8. Everyone plays 2 v 2 with a new partner every game, and each game counts for both partners. Players are ranked by wins, then point differential, then a finals pool or a bracket of balanced pairs decides it. The TV shows each pool's standings and Up next pairs.

More formats

The classics are still here under More formats: challenge ladder, league table and house points.

Features

Built to run the tournament
