🏆 Running a tournament

Create it, fill it, launch matches to courts, and let the bracket advance itself.

Formats

Single elimination

Lose once and you are out. Byes handled automatically.

Double elimination

A loss drops you to the losers bracket. Bracket-reset grand final.

Round robin

Everyone plays everyone. Standings by wins, then point differential.

King of the Hill

Winner stays on, loser goes to the back of the queue. Great for drop-in play.

Create the event

Tournament creation is a Pro feature

Anyone can join or watch a tournament. Creating one needs Pro (up to 16 players, single day) or Premium (up to 64 players, multi-day).

Rules apply to every match

The rules panel is the same one you use for a single match. Whatever you set is what every bracket match launches with, so you configure it once. Pick an overlay template here too and every match inherits it.

Visibility

Public lists the event in the directory (and emails people who asked about tournaments near your city). Unlisted works by link only. Private is invite only.

Fill the bracket

Registration

Share the public link so players can join themselves (with an optional doubles partner), invite by email from the console, or add players directly by name or email. Seeds are optional; unseeded fields are shuffled.

Blocking

Block an email from one event or from all of your events. Unblock any time.

Generate the bracket

When registration is done, tap Generate bracket. This locks the roster. Byes are placed automatically and anyone who draws one advances immediately.

Match day

Launch a match

Every match that is ready shows a Launch button. That creates a real live match with its own console, scoreboard link, TV code and overlay URL.

Scorers

Add other Score All accounts as scorers so they can launch and score matches for this event from their own phones.

Automatic advancement

When a match ends, the winner moves to the next slot (and the loser to the losers bracket in double elimination), standings update, or the King of the Hill queue rotates. A champion banner appears when the event is decided.

The public page

Spectators see the live bracket or standings with scores updating every few seconds, the roster, and a "tell me about tournaments near here" box.
