Built for phones
Parents, players and arbiters check the boards from the hall. Every page fits a small screen, in light or dark mode.

How it works
From sign-up sheet to final standings
-
01
Create the event
Name, dates, system, rounds and tie-breaks. Defaults follow common practice, so most events need no changes.
-
02
Add players
Type them in or paste a list from a spreadsheet. Ratings set the starting order automatically.
-
03
Pair, enter, publish
Pair each round in one click, check it, publish it and enter results. Standings update on their own.
Is Tournament Manager free to use?
Yes, it is free for now. All you need is an organiser account.
How do I get an organiser account?
Fill in the account request form and tell us about your event. We set up the account and send you the login details.
Are the pairings FIDE-endorsed?
No. The Swiss engine follows the Dutch system closely and suits non-rated events, but it is not an endorsed FIDE pairing program, so do not use it for FIDE-rated tournaments.
How many players can an event have?
Tournament Manager is made for events of up to about 60 players and 11 rounds, where a round is paired in a fraction of a second.
Can players see results without an account?
Yes. Every public event has its own link. Anyone can open it to see pairings, results and standings, no sign-up needed.
