Running racquetball tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Skill division placement is contentious
Players self-rate inaccurately, sandbagging is common, and there is no easy way to verify skill levels before the event. Misplaced players lead to blowout matches and frustrated competitors in every division.
Bracket management with consolation rounds is complex
Racquetball tournaments typically run main draws plus consolation brackets for first-round and second-round losers. Tracking three parallel brackets per division by hand leads to scheduling errors and missed matches.
Court usage gaps waste expensive facility time
With matches varying from 20 minutes to over an hour, courts go empty while other matches run long. Manually rescheduling to fill gaps is reactive and disruptive — players are never where they need to be.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up divisions and draws
Create skill divisions (Open, A, B, C, D) with singles, doubles, and mixed categories. Choose single elimination with consolation brackets, round robin, or combined formats.
Players register by division
Share a registration link. Players select their division, enter doubles partners, and pay online. You review entries and adjust division placement before generating draws.
Run the event with live brackets
Enter scores as matches finish. Main draws and consolation brackets update automatically. Players and spectators see live brackets, upcoming matches, and court assignments on any device.
Formats
Every racquetball format, covered
Single Elimination with Consolation
Main draw plus consolation brackets for first-round losers (and optionally second-round losers). The standard racquetball tournament format ensuring eliminated players still compete.
Double Elimination
Players must lose twice to be eliminated. Winners and losers brackets converge in the final. Rewards consistency and gives everyone a second chance.
Round Robin
Every player in the division plays every other player. Best for small divisions of 4-6 players where you want maximum match play and clear standings.
Modified Round Robin + Playoff
Players compete in round robin pools, then top finishers from each pool advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket. Combines guaranteed matches with a decisive finish.
