You are the only person here who signs in. Everything from the roster to the final result is yours to enter, and everyone else arrives through a link you hand out.
Name it, give it the days it runs over and where it is being held. Nothing else is required to start — draws and scheduling can wait until entries close.
Type them in, or paste a spreadsheet and map the columns on screen. Duplicates are caught before anything lands. Players are records on your roster, not accounts — nobody is asked to sign up.
Singles, doubles, mixed, divisions, age groups. Choose the shape of the competition and the rules it plays to, then assign players into it and build pairs.
Knockout, round robin, or groups feeding a knockout. Seeds are separated and byes placed for you, and the whole draw is reproducible from a stored seed if you have to show your working.
Courts down one axis, time across the other. Auto-assign honours rest gaps and refuses to put one player in two places at once.
You can key the points yourself from the console. More often you will send a scorer link to whoever is sitting by that court, and watch the results arrive.
One read-only link for the whole tournament, made to be pasted into a group chat. Send it to the wrong group and you can rotate it — every old copy stops working at once.
sportingbuddy.app/t/7f3a9c21e8Being in a tournament takes nothing at all — the organizer enters you, and the link tells you the rest. An account is a separate thing you can keep: your own record of every tournament you have played, across every organizer.
Optional, and entirely apart from any roster you appear on. Signing up does not tell an organizer anything, and it does not change the record they typed in.
Your own sign-up, separate from an organizer’s. If you already organize tournaments with this email, the same password works here — you are not asked for a second one.
A player session reaches your profile and nothing else. It cannot open an organizer’s console, and an organizer’s session cannot open your profile.
Everything you have claimed, gathered in one place regardless of who ran the tournament. It is private to you.
Roster entries matching your verified email are offered to you. Claiming one links it to your profile; it does not hand you any control over the organizer’s roster.
None of this needs an account — the link the organizer sent does all of it. An account only means you do not have to keep the link.
Who you are playing, when, and on which court. The order of play updates as the day moves around it, so check it rather than the printout.
Scores arrive as the points are keyed, whether the scorer is you, your opponent or a volunteer. There is nothing to refresh.
When the match is called, the winner advances on the draw and the tables recalculate themselves. Your profile keeps the result.
You were handed a URL ninety seconds ago and you are standing at the side of a court. There is nothing to install, nothing to log into, and it keeps working when the signal does not.
It opens straight onto your court — not a menu of the whole tournament. The link scores that court only, expires with the tournament, and can be switched off at any time.
One large target per side, sized for a thumb at arm’s length. Undo is right there, because the mistake you will make is pressing the wrong one. Periods, changes of serve and the finish are worked out for you.
Confirm the final score and you are done. Lose the network mid-match and nothing stops — points queue on the device in order and sync themselves when it comes back.
No account, no install, no sign-up wall. Read-only, and it never shows anybody's contact details.
Everything live right now, across every court and every category, on one screen. It is fast enough for a hundred people to open it at the same time.
The full bracket or group table, as it stands. Winners advance themselves as results come in, so what you are looking at is current.
What is on next, and where. Useful when you are trying to work out whether you have time to go and find a coffee.
Scores move as the points are keyed — under two seconds from courtside to your screen — and settle into the result when the match is called.
Create the tournament, paste your roster in, and share the link. Everything else on this page can wait until you need it.
