If your last tournament lived in a spreadsheet, pairing software, and a group text — we built this for you.

Pairings by round for an Open section — boards, colors, ratings, and results, including full-point and half-point byes.
Colors, byes, and results — round by round, as the section unfolds.

Tournaments

Rated Tournaments

Run a rated event end to end — Swiss, round-robin, quads, or a knockout bracket — from open registration to the USCF and FIDE reports, on the roster you already have. The full tournament module is part of the Rook tier, and every club gets a 14-day free trial.

  • Six Pairing Formats

    Swiss, Double Swiss, Round Robin, Double Round Robin, Quads, and single-elimination Knockout — set per section. Knockout runs best-of-N matches with an automatic rapid → blitz → Armageddon tiebreak ladder and a live bracket. The engine handles colors, score groups, and look-ahead; you review before you post.

  • Live Standings, Wallchart & Cross-Table

    Results roll into standings as you enter them, with the full USCF tie-breaks computed automatically. Players and parents follow the live standings, wallchart, cross-table, or knockout bracket from their phones — and search for their own board — no login required.

  • USCF & FIDE Rating Reports

    When the event closes, one click builds both a USCF .txt and a FIDE TRF16 from the results you already entered — no hand assembly. Each section reports under its own rating system (Regular, Quick, Blitz, Rapid, or Dual).

  • Online Registration & Entry Fees

    Players sign up through a form that captures USCF ID and section, with members pre-filled. Take entry fees by card (Stripe), at the door, or an external link — with early-bird pricing tiers, promo codes, and refunds.

  • Accessibility Seating — Automatic

    Players flag what they need at registration (step-free table, near an exit, quiet area, large-print or raised board). You mark which of your tables have which facilities. Then every round, the engine automatically seats accommodated boards at a table that meets their needs and prints it on your pairing sheet. Board numbers never move, and a table you set by hand is never overridden.

  • Team Events

    Team sections on any pairing format, with captain registration, a free-agent pool, board order by rating, and team standings by match then game points — individual board results roll up automatically.

  • Adjust Pairings & Corrections

    Misread a scoresheet? Reopen the round, fix it, and re-pair from the corrected standings. Reshape a whole round with a drag editor and a review step. Every change is accountable.

  • Full Audit Log

    A complete history timeline records every pairing, result, correction, and bye — who did it, when, and the before-and-after — filterable to a single player. The record most tools don't keep.

  • Tournament-Wide Prizes

    Place, class, and special prizes resolve from the final standings — scoped to a single section or run tournament-wide across every section, with a merged overall-standings page.

  • Announcements & Messaging

    Send tournament announcements to entrants — scoped to sections, sent now or scheduled — and message an entrant or their guardian directly, with replies threaded to their entry.

  • Tournament Director Roles

    Hand a director the keys to run rounds without making them a club admin — scoped to one section or the whole event. The people at the board get exactly the access they need.
