Your club tournaments, with the draw made for you

Make a tournament, add an event: Mens Singles, Ladies Doubles, whatever your club calls them. Entries are open from the moment it goes up, so members put their own names down; type in anybody who would rather tell you in the bar, then press Make the draw. Seeds on their lines, byes where the regulations put them, and a play-by date on every round unless the whole thing is played in a day.

From there the players run it. They enter their own scores, opponents confirm, winners appear in the next round. Nobody writes a name on a sheet.

That is every club championship, so it is not a special case anywhere. 11 entries make a draw of 16 with 5 byes: the seeds take theirs first, the rest spread evenly, which is what the LTA's regulations say and what a committee doing it by hand is trying to do.

A draw holds up to 64 entries and needs at least 3.

Seed 1 at the top, seed 2 at the bottom, every pair after that split between the halves, so two seeds meet as late as the draw allows. A draw of 16 carries up to 4; the biggest draw carries 16.

Or seed nobody. Leave the seeds blank and every line is drawn by lot, which at most clubs is the norm anyway.

No. Nothing above round one is stored: the bracket is worked out from the scores every time it is read, so correcting a score corrects the draw. There is no second copy of the bracket to disagree with the results.

The one thing it refuses is changing a result after the winner has played their next match. It names the match in the way, and you clear that one first.

So nobody drives across town, loses in an hour and never enters again. Lose your first match and you drop into a second knockout underneath the championship. First match, not first round: somebody with a bye plays theirs in round two, and the plate still catches them.

It is drawn on a button, never automatically. The button arms once every entry has a first match decided, and until then it names whose match it is waiting for.

Yes: Fast4 to the quarter-finals, the full format from the semis, or whatever your club plays. Set a round any time until somebody plays it, never after; the scores in it were checked against the old rules.

There is a playoff for third place too, on a tick. The beaten semi-finalists appear beside the final as soon as both semis are decided.

Pick the matches in order and put times on the ones you have settled; a blank time means "and then". It reads across every event, goes up on the public page and copies out as a picture. No courts on it: clubs sort those on the morning.

You can run up to 6 tournaments at once. The championships, a junior week and a doubles day in the same fortnight.

Yes. Everybody plays a group first, the group table works exactly like a box table, and you press the button that sends the qualifiers into the knockout. Who goes through is confirmed by you, not decided by us.

The stage is yours to shape: three to eight in a group, one to four through from each, the points table it is scored on and the rule that breaks a tie. None of it is inherited from your season, so a championship group can be scored quite differently from your Tuesday boxes.

One player link covers the whole championships. Post it in the club chat and everybody who entered taps their own name: somebody in the singles and the mixed doubles taps once, and a junior or social member who is in no box signs in the same way.

Rotate it and the old link dies instantly. Anybody already signed in stays signed in.

No. The tournament manager role runs the draw, the plate, the dates, finals day and every score in it, and cannot touch your seasons, boxes, settings or plan. Making somebody an owner to run a tournament hands them the billing; this is the answer to that.

Every box admin can also record entries and scores, because on the day the desk is whoever is standing at it.

Every round of a tournament that runs over weeks has a play-by date, and anything past it is on one screen with three answers: give them longer, award a walkover, or scratch both and the next round gets the walkover. Tick Day tournament and there are no dates and nothing can be overdue, which is the point of the tick.

We never email a player about any of it. No reminders, no results, no deadline chasing, ever. You see what is overdue; the club chases in the group chat it already has.

No. A championship is its own thing with its own scoring; the box season carries on beside it, and nothing in the draw moves anybody up or down a box.

Both show on a member's record, kept apart: their box seasons, then how far they got in each championship.

Tournaments are part of every paid plan. The cheapest is Division at £120 a year, and there is no per-entry charge and no charge per tournament.

Every new league gets 14 days with nothing locked off. Drop back to the free plan later and every draw, score and result stays on screen; only making a new one stops.

Tennis, padel, squash, badminton and pickleball, each scored by its own rules. Singles or doubles, with a pair entering as one entry, the way a doubles box works.

You pick the format when you make the event, and it is fixed once the draw is made, because every result in the draw was played under it.
