Tournaments & Cups
When it's more than a club night
Championship days, club-vs-club fixtures and proper games-and-sets matches — run on the same system, on the courts' own iPads, with the result on every screen in the building.
The Cup format
Groups, a knockout, and a plate — drawn for you
Enter your pairs as fixed teams and press Start. CourtsOS deals the entire group stage to your courts at once, so the schedule is printable from minute one and every court knows its afternoon.
As results come in it builds the group tables, runs the count-back on set and game difference, and fills in the quarter-finals, semis, final and plate. Nothing is kept on a spreadsheet, and nothing has to be re-typed.
And you do not have to design the day first. Say how many courts you have and how many teams you expect, and CourtsOS offers the structures it can actually deal — ranked so that the one where nobody goes home after the group stage comes first.
- It works out the shape — give it your courts and your entry, and it ranks the days it can deal, best first.
- Dealt at the start — the whole group stage, on the courts, before a ball is hit.
- Whatever the entry — seven pairs is a group of four and a group of three. Nobody is turned away for not dividing neatly.
- Tables and draw are automatic — matches won, then set difference, then game difference.
- Level groups come back to you — CourtsOS asks rather than guessing who goes through.
- The TV carries the whole day — live scores while courts play, the full draw between matches, the champions at the end.
Scored where it's played
Every court gets its own iPad screen showing that court's fixture, with the players' names already in it. The pair on court score the match themselves and the result posts itself back — nobody walks a scrap of paper to the desk.
- Names come from the draw
- Games & sets, standard or Fast4
- Tiebreaks typed, with the rule stated
- Amend any score from the desk
Americano Interclub
Two clubs field a squad each. Every pair is two players from the same club and every match is host against visitors, so you finish the night with a club-vs-club score as well as an individual ladder.
- Visiting club's name, crest and colour
- Time-boxed — play to the clock
- Reshuffled by the server each round
- Two results: club and player
Tiebreak 10s
One tiebreak decides it — first to 10, win by two. The court taps to spin for serve and CourtsOS counts the serve rotation and the end changes. Run it on its own, or as the match type inside a Cup for a full Tie Break Tens draw.
- About ten minutes a match
- Random serve, spun on court
- Ends change every 6 points
- Works inside a Cup draw too
A board worth watching
Put /scoreboard on a TV and every court in play is on it — sets, games and who's serving — with your club's branding and your sponsor's crest across the top. At the end of a Cup it turns into the champions screen.
- One board per court, live
- Your colours, logo and sponsor
- Champions and plate at the end
- Every court iPad shows it too
