1. Enter a tournament name and set the number of players, courts and rounds.
2. Name each player (you can edit names any time).
3. Optionally rename courts (e.g. "Blue Court").
4. Hit Start Tournament — rounds are generated automatically.

Tap any court card to open the score screen. Pick Team A's score — Team B auto-fills to the remaining points automatically. Both scores must add up to the match point total. Hit Confirm Score to lock it in. When all courts for the round are scored, tap Confirm & Advance.

Yes! On any scored court card you'll see a small pencil (✏) button — tap it to edit the score. You can also tap ↺ Undo Round to clear the whole round and re-enter all scores.

Tap ⏰ Mark Late in the resting bar. Select players who have not arrived. They are removed from the current round immediately and sit out exactly one round — the remaining schedule is re-optimised so everyone else plays maximum games. Late players rejoin from the next round and play one fewer game total. Bonus-point compensation is offered at the end.

Tap 🔗 Share to copy a link. Anyone who opens it sees a live read-only view: current matchups, who is resting, and real-time standings. The full tournament state is encoded in the URL — no account needed.

Yes! Click the ✏ icon next to any player name in the Standings view, or on any court card in the current round. The name updates everywhere instantly.

Your tournament is automatically saved in this browser tab. If you close the tab and reopen the app, you'll be returned to where you left off. Each browser tab is independent — someone else opening the app gets their own fresh session. Use New Tournament to start fresh without closing the tab.

The app automatically calculates the ideal number of rounds for your setup. The goal is for everyone to partner with everyone at least once and for all players to play the same number of games. For example: 13 players with 3 courts → 13 rounds perfectly. 13 players with 2 courts → ideally 26 rounds (but 13 is common for a shorter session). If you pick fewer rounds than ideal, the app warns you and the difference is explained.

You can play fewer rounds than the ideal — just be aware that some players may sit out one more time than others, making their game count one lower. At the end of the tournament, the app detects this and offers to award bonus points equal to half the match value to players who played fewer games. This is optional — you decide whether to apply it.

In Mexicano, pairings are reshuffled after each round based on results. The top-ranked players face each other, while lower-ranked players are matched together — keeping every game competitive. The first round uses random pairings, just like Americano. Unlike Americano's fixed rotation, Mexicano adapts dynamically so the standings drive the matchups.

In Teams mode, players register as fixed pairs of 2. Each team always plays together — partners never change. Give each team a name and enter both players. Teams rotate between courts but always stay as a unit. Works with both Americano and Mexicano formats.

🎯 Fixed Points — Classic format. Each match plays to a fixed total (e.g. 16). Scores must add up exactly.

🏁 Race to the Top — First team to reach the target score wins. Enter the winner's score (must equal the target) and the other team's score (whatever they reached).

⏱ Shot Clock — Each round has a time limit you set. A countdown timer runs automatically; an alarm sounds when time is up. Enter whatever score was reached when the clock hit zero.

The ⏱ Total timer in the rounds panel tracks the full elapsed time from when you hit Start to when you end the tournament. It persists across rounds and is shown in the topbar. Pause it if you take a break. The elapsed time also shows in the topbar so it's always visible.
