Tournament Studio — visual canvas with team roster, group stages, and knockout bracket

You know the routine.

Tournament day shouldn’t feel like a second job.

  • 12-team draws redrawn on a whiteboard
  • Scores buried in a group chat nobody can find
  • Rebuilding the bracket after a no-show
  • Explaining ratings on the day of the event

What you get

Everything you need to run a real event. Nothing you’ll never use.

Visual builder

Drag stages onto a canvas, link them, and see your whole event at a glance — pools feeding playoffs, finals, the lot.

Auto-generate brackets

Single elim, double elim, round robin, Swiss, or group → playoff. Build a 32-team double-elim in under 60 seconds.

Stage rosters

Drop teams into a stage pool, then snake-seed or shuffle to spin up the full schedule with proper pairings.

Per-match config

Set court, points-to-win, timed games, simple or advanced scoring — match by match, not one-size-fits-all.

Live scoring on mobile

Scorers tap through points on iOS or Android. Brackets and standings update for everyone watching in real time.

Public tournament pages

Every event gets a shareable URL with brackets, schedule, registrations, and live scores. No app needed to spectate.

Real ratings, not vibes

Players earn CPR and GPR ratings on a 1.0–8.0 scale, auto-updated after each match. Industry-standard tiebreakers built in.

MVP leaderboards

Per-category MVP tracking surfaces the standout performances — automatic, no spreadsheets, no debate.

Every format you actually run

Mix and match in a single event — pool play into a double-elim bracket, no problem.

Single elimination

Classic knockout. One loss and you’re out — quickest path to a champion.

Double elimination

Winners and losers brackets with a true final. Fairer for one-bad-game days.

Round robin

Everyone plays everyone. Best for small fields where match volume matters.

Swiss

Pair on record each round. Buchholz tiebreaker handles the close calls.

Group + playoff

Pool play feeds a knockout. The format real-world events actually run.

Team league

Teams meet in ties made of several matches, MLP-style or your own format. Lineups, a league table and playoffs.

How a team league runs

Ladder league

Weekly groups by rank with rotating doubles partners. Top of each group moves up, bottom moves down.

Watch the ladder walkthrough

Americano and Mexicano

Rotating doubles partners and one table of individual players, with a final between the top four if you want one.

How an Americano runs

From idea to live in three steps

No training session. No 40-page docs. Just build, publish, score.

Common questions

Anything else? Get in touch.

What does it cost to host?

Pro Organizer is a flat yearly subscription that unlocks unlimited tournaments — visual builder, public pages, live scoring, player ratings, all of it. No per-event fees, no per-player fees, no caps on entrants or matches, and no hidden charges. Players use the app to view and score for free. Optional add-on scorer logins are available for big events that staff multiple parallel courts.

Can I import my existing roster?

Yes. Players sign up on the app with their mobile number and password. You add them to teams from inside the builder by name, mobile number, or player code — no CSV gymnastics required.

What formats do you support?

Single elimination, double elimination, round robin, Swiss and group → playoff for tournaments. For leagues: weekly ladder leagues, team leagues played as ties (MLP-style or your own tie format), and Americano and Mexicano sessions with rotating partners. You can mix the bracket formats in a single multi-stage event — pool play into a double-elim bracket, for example — and run a ladder league as its own category with weekly groups, promotion and relegation.

Can I run a league, not just a one-off tournament?

Yes. A league is set up the same way as a tournament, on the same plan. You can run a weekly ladder league, a team league with ties, lineups, a league table and playoffs, or an Americano or Mexicano session with rotating partners. The league page describes each format and what the organizer and the players see.

Do players need an app?

Only for live scoring on the court. Spectators don’t need anything — the public tournament URL works in any browser, on any device.

Can I score by hand and enter results later?

Yes. Every match supports manual score entry from the web, so you can run paper-and-pen on the day and update the bracket whenever you’re ready.

What happens if I’m running 8 courts at once?

Each match has its own scorer slot. Organizers get one additional scorer login by default — for bigger events with multiple parallel courts, contact us and we’ll set up the extra scorer accounts you need.
