Run a Five Crowns tournament from a phone
Head-to-head Five Crowns makes a good bracket: eleven rounds, lowest total through. Score All builds the draw, sends each match to a free table and scores every game the same way.
- The console names every round's wild card, from threes up to kings
- Enter the points left in each hand; 0 for whoever went out
- Lowest total after eleven rounds wins, leader first
- House rules: count down from kings, a shorter game, how ties are settled

The parts that usually need a whiteboard
Two players per match
A bracket match has two sides, so tournament games are head to head. Tables of three to seven are scored one game at a time.
Shorter games keep it moving
Eleven rounds takes a while. Set a six-round game for the event and every match uses it.
Ties
Pick a tiebreak, the lowest last round or the most rounds gone out, so every match has a winner. A shared win is a draw, and a drawn match does not advance anyone.
