Can I organize a Go tournament using the McMahon system?
Yes. Native McMahon system with a sliding bar, band-based seeding, global minimum-cost pairing, floating-player distribution,
balanced colors, and direct export to EGD. See Chess and Go.
Does it work for chess tournaments using the Swiss system and export to FIDE?
Yes. Preconfigured FIDE tiebreaker, scored bye, mid-tournament withdrawal, balanced colors, and export to TRF16.
How do I give a player a bye or mark that they miss a round?
In Swiss and McMahon, go to Manage → Players & byes (or the “Absences & byes” button above each round) and mark the round they miss; they get a half-point bye. The bye for an odd number of players is automatic. See Withdrawals, absences and byes.
Can I combine a league phase with a knockout phase?
Yes, by chaining phases with an advancement rule: for example, regular league → knockout playoffs among the top
finishers. See Chainable phases.
What padel formats does it support, besides the classic league?
Americano and Mexicano, in addition to league and knockout formats; CSV export to DUPR with any engine.
Can I use my own logo and colors?
Yes, white-labeling per competition (logo + hex color) plus a sponsor strip.
Can I require approval before someone joins?
Yes, by enabling manual approval: anyone who wants to join submits a request that you accept or reject, rather
than joining directly. See Teams and organizations.
Can I organize a team Go tournament?
Yes, with per-board scoring: each match is played on multiple boards simultaneously, and the team's result
depends on the number of boards each side wins. See Chess and Go.
Is it free to create a competition?
Yes, creating and managing competitions is free.
Can I play two-legged ties or best of 3?
Yes. Each knockout round can be two-legged, with penalties if the aggregate is level, and with set or map scoring you can set a
"best of", including a different one for knockout rounds. See Scoring, match rules and rating.
My tournament is already on Challonge. Can I bring it over?
Yes, by pasting its URL: it's imported with its results, and if it's still in progress it carries on here. See Export and import.
Can I save what I made with the schedule generator to my account?
Yes. The "Save" button in the generator creates a competition with the same teams, matches and
results; if you don't have an account, it asks you to create a free one and saves it once you're done.
Are there blank brackets to print?
Yes, printable brackets in PDF (A4 and Letter), free and with no sign-up: single elimination from 4 to 64 teams,
double elimination, and league schedules with a results grid and standings.
