Running the tournament
■ Check-in
Players are checked in on the check-in screen first. Anyone who has not checked in is recorded as a walkover loss.
■ Court assignment
Matches are assigned court by court.
■ Result input
You can choose how results are entered, such as win/loss only or score entry. Handicap matches are supported as well.
■ League match
A format in which every player faces every other player in the field, in other words a round robin.
With score entry or handicap matches, the standings also take the points-for and points-against ratios into account.
■ Tournament
Double elimination is supported too.
■ Final results
The results of finished tournaments can be kept as history.
■ Tournament progress app
An internet connection is required, but participants can use the tournament progress app to follow how the tournament is going from their smartphones.
