Run a Kan Jam tournament from a phone
Kan Jam tournaments are pairs of teams on cans spread across a field. The bracket sends the next game to the next free set of cans and advances winners the moment a game ends.
- One tap per throw: dinger 1, deuce 2, bucket 3
- A slot is an instant win (switch it off if you like)
- Exactly 21: going over subtracts, does not count, or drops you back
- Doubles or singles, single game or best of three
