There are two modes. Rotating Partners: partners rotate each game and everyone plays everyone in a balanced schedule. Fixed Teams: you assign players to named teams that stay fixed for the whole tournament, and every team plays every other team once in a random round-robin.

Rotating mode supports 4 to 100 players. Fixed Teams mode supports 3 to 20 teams of 2 players each (no team name required; teams are identified by player names).

In Rotating mode, the algorithm generates a balanced set of fixtures: every player partners with every other player at least once and faces every pair of opponents, minimising sit-outs, though some player counts may require a bye in a given round. In Fixed Teams mode, every team plays every other team exactly once in a randomised order. See How It Works for a full breakdown of each scheduling approach.

No. Players are identified by name only. Email is optional and is used to send two notifications: a start email when the tournament is created, and a results summary when it is finalized. If you have a courtScore account and are added to a tournament by name, you can log in to view fixtures and enter scores directly (when score lock is off).

Yes. When you type a player's name, it auto-suggests anyone who's played before. Selecting them also pre-fills their email (masked for privacy) so you don't have to re-enter it.

Go to the Fixtures tab and find your game. Tap the game card to open the score entry screen. Use the number pad to enter both scores, then tap Save.

Yes, as long as the tournament hasn't been finalized. Tap the game card again, update the scores, and confirm. Standings will recalculate immediately.

Created means the tournament has been set up but no scores have been entered yet. InProgress means at least one game has been scored. Both appear under the Live tab.

The Finals is an optional single deciding match. In Rotating mode, rank 1 + rank 3 face rank 2 + rank 4. In Fixed Teams mode, the top two teams by standings play directly. You create it manually from the Finals tab once you're happy with the standings. It's not required to finalize a tournament.

Yes, during a live tournament. On mobile, swipe a game card left to reveal the delete button, then confirm. On desktop, hover over a game card to see the trash icon. Deleting a game removes its scores and updates standings immediately. Finals games cannot be deleted. If you delete the only scored game, the tournament reverts to Created status.

Score lock is an option you set when creating a tournament. When enabled, only the tournament creator and any co-admins can enter or edit scores. When disabled (the default), any player with a courtScore account can enter scores for their games. The standings update live on all devices either way.

Yes. From the tournament settings you can add a co-admin by searching for any registered courtScore user. Co-admins can enter scores, add games, generate finals, and finalize the tournament. Only the creator can remove co-admins. You can also share the tournament link with anyone who just wants to follow the scores without an account.

Finalizing locks all scores, records the winner, and moves the tournament to History. Player stats are saved to the all-time leaderboard. A results email is sent to all players and the creator who have an email address on file, and to co-admins who have results notifications enabled. The creator, any co-admin, and any participating player (when score lock is off) can finalize.

Yes. Open any finalized tournament in the History section and tap Duplicate Tournament. It instantly creates a new tournament with the same players (or teams, for Fixed Teams mode) and generates a fresh set of fixtures.

The Leaderboard (Ranks tab) shows cumulative stats across every finalized tournament: total wins, titles, win rate, and points. Players must have participated in at least one finalized tournament to appear.

Players with an email address on file receive a start notification and a results summary. Co-admins who have results notifications enabled also receive the results email. Registered users can manage which emails they receive in Account Settings. Notification emails include an unsubscribe option.
