Swiss
For open fields. Everyone plays every round, paired against someone on a similar score.
For tournament directors
Host events and tournaments that run themselves
Pairings, results and standings without a laptop, a printout or the one person who knows the pairing software. Set the format, and the evening takes care of the arithmetic.
The evening, end to end
Five steps from empty hall to final table
- 01
Create the event
Date, venue, time control and format — Swiss or round robin.
- 02
Take sign-ups
Players register from the event page. Walk-ins can be added on the night.
- 03
Pair each round
Pairings are generated for you and adjust when the field changes.
- 04
Report results
Enter each board as it finishes. Standings update immediately.
- 05
Publish standings
Final tables live on the event page, where players can find them later.
Formats
Pick a format, not a formula
Both standard club formats are built in. Choose one when you create the event and the pairing takes care of itself.
Round robin
For small, fixed groups. Everyone plays everyone — the classic club championship.
Awards
Results that are worth keeping
Tournament results feed each player's profile. Beat someone you had no business beating, and there is a badge for it.
