The clock runs from your first serve, not the time on the flyer — a 6:00 night started at 6:10 still gives you the full two hours. Someone turns up halfway through? If a court's open, deal them into the round that's already running — nothing on court is disturbed.

Brackets, pool play, mixers, King of the Court, round robin — singles or doubles. One create button, one desk, one wizard from idea to published event.
Divisions built in one pass: quick-add chips and a two-handle skill slider that names the division itself — no spreadsheets, no second tool.
Each division keeps its own scoring. Your beginners can play one game to 7 while the 4.5s play best of 3 to 11 — and pools can play shorter than the bracket.
Brackets work the same on every court. Mixers, King of the Court and round robins run on every sport here but volleyball, which plays teams of six. Pick your sport when you create the event, and it starts on the scoring your sport plays.

Social nights that deal themselves, round after round.
Turn up at 6:40 and you are in the round already running — one tap on "Deal the bench", on whatever courts are open. Leave after three games and nobody re-does the board. Step out for a phone call and come back: one green Back in, and your games and sits pick up where they were rather than from zero.
Anyone sitting can go too: when the bench could be playing on an open court, the desk sees "BENCH · 4 WAITING · 3M" on that court — one tap and they're on. It's always the desk's call; autopilot never deals the bench.
A game already on court is never touched. Somebody checking in, walking out or being swapped cannot alter, re-seat or cancel a game that is being played. That is an engine rule rather than a habit, and the engine's tests check it.
And the fairness holds. With up to a quarter of the room coming and going, the mixer still finds every partner the maths allows, four courts or more still never hand you the same opponent twice running, round robin on Strict still plays everyone once before anyone twice, and never runs out of legal matches.
One figure does move, and we would rather say it: the sit-out spread goes from one apart to about two. That is arithmetic, not unfairness — somebody there for four rounds cannot be balanced against somebody there for twelve.
ARRIVED CHIPS NAME WHO IS NEW · ONE TAP SEATS THEM THIS ROUND · A RETURNING PLAYER KEEPS THEIR GAMES AND SITS
Sign in on the day and the top of the page is your next match: a poster-sized court call the moment you are called, and on a planned day every match time of your day in one short list — with a plain note that times can move and the card updates by itself.
Your court glows yellow on the venue map — the same map your organizer built — so the court call is a place, not a guess.
When the call lands, one tap — on my way ✓ — shows up on the organizer's court card.
Between matches the page keeps talking: a loss in a double-elimination draw shows your road through the back draw; sitting a round shows where you stand; a score you entered names exactly who it's waiting on; and Played keeps every event and every game score, searchable by partner or opponent.
EVERY STATE HAS A CARD — COURT CALL · BACK DRAW · SCORE IN · PLAYED
Link your weekly nights into one season. Points carry from week to week, and the table moves the moment a night ends.
You set the points for each place, for an excused night and for a missed one — and whether to count only the best 7 of 9, so one bad week does not sink anyone. A player who taps Can't make it before your cutoff is excused, not missed.
Members get a season page with the race around them, and every night in their calendar in one tap.
A wrong score? Fix it on that night's desk. Every change to the table is on the record.

Pools, brackets and play days, from the draw to the podium.
Single or double elimination, pools into a bracket, or a round robin — any draw from 2 to 64, with a 3rd place match if you want one.
Seeds come from ratings, and your order always wins: move a team by hand before you publish. Then one tap puts the draw out for everyone.
On the day the bracket fills itself as scores land. A loss in double elimination drops a team to the back draw, and the public page shows who is live, on which court, and who is up next — no account needed.

Five Saturdays of youth league, or pools on Saturday and brackets on Sunday: one draw, up to 15 play days.
Lock the draw and the planner puts every match on a day, a court and a time. Check it on the site plan, move what you like by hand, then publish once.
Everyone gets their times, day by day, by email. A moved day shows on their phone. Each play day gets its own check-in code.
LEGACY PARK, MESA AZ · ONE TOKEN PER COURT · EVERY CHANGE WAITS FOR ONE SAVE
Capture the courts from satellite in one tap — or upload the club's own map — then drag each court onto it once. Rename, move or remove courts; every change has its own undo until you save.
Set up a place once, reuse it for every event. Another organizer already mapped the park? Just pick it — the courts and their names come with it. Every save is kept in the place's history, and an event keeps the map it was made with.
Phones call the courts. Scores come in from the court.
Every court call comes with its reasons, in plain English, kept forever in the audit log. Take the suggestions yourself, or switch on autopilot — and the next match heads to the court the instant a score lands, not when a clock ticks.
The messy moments are one tap too: a disputed score lands with both versions side by side — pick the right one and tap Confirm; a player-entered score is one green tap from final. Nothing queues up on you — autopilot keeps dealing the other courts while you settle it.
It runs on the server and reacts instantly, so a sleeping laptop never stops the event — tournament or social night.
A DISPUTE SHOWS BOTH VERSIONS · THE DESK'S PICK IS FINAL · EVERY COURT SAYS WHO SERVES · AUTOPILOT KEEPS DEALING
ONE TAP PER GAME · DEUCE GAMES BEHIND THE 11+ DOOR · TIME CALLED? THE SHORT SCORE COUNTS · ALWAYS CORRECTIBLE
The loser-first pad asks which team lost: tap the points in the loser's box — winner, score, and deuce math resolve themselves. Volunteers can't mistype a score that can't exist. Every result confirms the winner by name and is always correctible.
Players courtside get this exact pad on their phone when you allow it — one side enters the score, the other confirms, and the desk can always correct.
Time called at 7–5? Record it as it stood. "Didn't reach 11" takes a game that never got there, so a night on the clock still ends with honest standings instead of a row of blanks — and if a best-of-3 splits dead even, it is settled on total points rather than left a mystery.
Phone, tablet, or laptop — the same desk. Big touch targets, and a live match moved to another court in two taps.
Scores are never destroyed. Corrections supersede and replay; the full history of every match survives any fix.
Court calls, scores, corrections, overrides — written in plain English the moment they happen, and kept for good. When autopilot assigns a court, the log says why: "waited 10m — longest in queue."
When the desk waves a match through a gate, that's on the record too — so "who put them on Court 10?" always has an answer.

ONE SCREEN PER COURT · NOW PLAYING · NEXT ON THIS COURT, WITH TIMES
Open one screen per court from the desk. Each one shows the game on that court now in type you can read from the baseline, the next game set for it, and who is up next at the venue — so nobody walks over to ask.
King of the Court gets its own: the crown and the whole ladder, so every court knows where a win sends it.
And one big screen for the room: TV mode runs itself — divisions rotate, brackets unroll as a filmstrip with a slow camera pan, and the champion banner takes over the moment a division completes — with the run line the winners will screenshot.
Social nights show up big too — the night's live leaderboard is a public page, crowns and all. No account needed to watch any of it.
“Court 4 — go” reaches the phone, even with the page closed.
Each level gets its own courts, roster and leaderboard, from one sign-up page.
Turn it on and a player's nickname shows on the boards, like “Big Dink (Uma W.)”.
One message from the desk, on every player's page at once.
Build the teams, invite each player to a spot, and they claim it.

Mixers, King of the Court, round robins, seasons and brackets, all from one console. Every feature, no player limit.
Every fairness number on this page comes from driving the same dealer that runs a live night through 200 simulated nights for each row below. Not an estimate of what the software should do: a count of what it did. The rows drawn here are a group that stays all night; the full audits measure people arriving late and leaving early as well. The Mixer and King of the Court rows count 12 rounds, one game each. How many rounds fit your night depends on your games: at about 15 minutes a game, two hours is about 8 rounds.
partnersopponents
The dashed outline is the most that could possibly be met. Partners fill it every time. Opponents come close too: at 16 players you face all 15 others.
Bigger groups get shorter outlines because more people sit each round, so everyone plays fewer games. At 24 players you play 8 games, so 16 opponents is the most anyone could meet.
Every Mixer setup, people coming and going too →More courts, more games each — and at every width the busiest player finishes about one game ahead of the quietest. Over 12 rounds, that is the whole spread of the room.
Every King of the Court setup →The dashed outline is the matches each team played; the fill is the ones against a team it hadn't played yet. Small rooms play everyone, then go round again. From 10 teams up, every match of the night is a new team. Not one rematch while somebody was unplayed, in all 118 setups the audit measured, teams coming and going too. Busiest to quietest, about one match apart.

Weekly social nights run themselves
Start the session and autopilot deals fair rounds all night. On a mixer night of 16 on four courts: every partner the maths allows, and never the same opponent two games running.
King of the Court instead? With a steady group on three courts or more, the busiest player finishes one game ahead of the quietest, often dead level — and win the top court and you stay on it. Round robin on Strict plays everyone once before anyone twice: not usually, always.
Drop in, leave early, come back — a round in progress never breaks. A full night never turns anyone away: the waitlist promotes itself, and a phone flips from "you're #2 in line" to "you're in" on its own. Wants one more round? +30 minutes, one tap.
The night ends with a podium, not a spreadsheet — champion and honors mined from the real game log.
