How it works

From the list of names to the podium. The rules are those of the Excel program clubs have used for years: what changes is how you work, not the tournament.

Step 1 · Five minutes, the day before or at the door

Before the tournament

You create the tournament: rounds (3, 4 or 7), scoring table, entry fee, technical prize.
You type the pairs, or paste the list, or tap the regular pairs from the address book. With single players, the software draws the pairings.
Players can sign themselves up from their phone with their membership number, by scanning the poster at the door: you confirm.
Coming from the Excel program? The history (attendance, placings, membership cards) imports in a minute.

Step 2 · One click, and the tables are set

The draw

Tables drawn at random, or in sign-up order if you prefer: you choose.
An odd number of pairs? One sits out — the «zoppo» — in turn, by reverse merit and never twice in a row, with standard points and VPs awarded.
From the second round the pairs move with the Mitchell movement; the last round (the last two with 7 rounds) is seeded by standings, avoiding rematches.
You print the list of players and, if you want, the QR cards to put on the tables.

Step 3 · The moment when nothing may go wrong

While they play

You type the scores table by table: Victory Points are worked out for you, Enter moves to the next field.
Or the table captain sends them from their phone, with the opposing pair confirming: you check and accept.
The round clock counts down, 45 minutes as a rule, and the players see it large on the room screen.
A wrong score can always be fixed, even in a round already closed: standings and prizes are redone by themselves.

Step 4 · Standings, prizes and what is left

At the end

Final standings with ties flagged, prizes from the club’s table and the technical prize.
The podium on the player screen; for the players, live standings on their phone, if you turn them on.
Printouts and CSV for the club archive; results by email to those who asked for them.
Attendance and placings go into the address book: roll of honour, season standings and circuits update by themselves.

And if the room has no network?

You carry on. The changes stay on the computer and go up by themselves as soon as the connection is back: no tournament stops, no score is lost. At the top you can always see how the saving is going.

If the room really has no internet, there is also the program to download: a single file, on your own computer.

Everything a tournament needs

Tournament settings

Rounds, scoring table (3 or 4 hands), entry fee, technical prize, walk-over points for the sitting-out pair.

Pairs and single players

Ready-made pairs or single players drawn together at random, with the club address book and a check on duplicate names.

The sitting-out pair

The odd pair rests in turn, chosen by reverse merit, never twice in a row, with standard points and VPs awarded.

Live standings

Victory Points worked out as you type the scores. Provisional standings after every completed round, ties flagged.

Prize standings

Prize money from the table by number of tables (above 25, the table for 25), technical prize, cash left over. Prizes can still be changed by hand.

Players and season

A personal page with history and partners, results by email when the tournament ends, season standings with drops and a minimum number of tournaments.

Fixing scores

Undo with one key, even the closing of a round. Every correction stays in the log, handy when a table objects.

Mitchell and Danish

Mitchell movement in the middle rounds, seating by standings in the last one (the last two with 7 rounds): no avoidable rematches.

Up to 200 tables

Tables as cards, Enter to move to the next field, Alt+number to jump to a table. Fast even with a full room.

Who does what

Owner: opens the club, picks the plan, invites the others.
Administrator: everything except changing the owner — address book, messages, settings.
Referee: runs the tournaments. Two referees can work on the same tournament together, even from different computers.
Reader: looks and prints, touches nothing. Handy for whoever reads out the standings in the room.
Table captain: no account needed, the table’s QR code is enough.
Player: does not have to register. If they want, they get the results and have their own page.

The quickest way to see it

Open a practice tournament and touch everything: 25 pairs, 12 tables, made-up data, nothing to save. Then, whenever you like, 30 days with your real club.
