Run the tournament.
Not the spreadsheet.
PERA-seeded draws, live brackets, real-time scoring, and WhatsApp notifications via Wati. Built for badminton, pickleball, tennis, squash — and every racket sport with a community to gather.
Built by tournament directors,
not by feature lists.
Every screen exists because someone running a 64-player draw at 7am on a Saturday morning needed it. No bloat. No spreadsheets. No mid-event panic.
Three things tournamentsoftware.com doesn't do.
Math beats favoritism.
PERA (Player Estimated Rating Algorithm) seeds your bracket automatically — weighted by verified-court matches, not vibes. Drag to override any seed in one click.
Score on a phone. Bracket updates instantly.
BWF-compliant scoring — singles, doubles, mixed. Match ends, winner advances, next-round players get notified. Spectators watch the bracket update in real time.
WhatsApp, not email blasts.
Entry confirmations, match calls, court assignments, result notifications — all delivered via WhatsApp through Wati. No app downloads. No missed alerts.
A rating that
actually means something.
PERA evaluates how you actually play — not who you know. Verified matches at booked courts carry more weight than backyard games. Confidence grows the more you play. Inactivity decays the rating fairly.
- →Verified-court matches: 3× weight
- →Confidence interval visible on every profile
- →Format-specific (singles ≠ doubles ≠ mixed)
- →Public leaderboards per category
- →Decay after 90 days inactivity
HmBr
Mela.
Community-building, non-elimination tournaments that connect players across clubs. A festival format that traditional brackets can't capture.
Read the Mela story on hmbrimpact.org ↗“A Mela isn't about who loses first. It's about who shows up, plays everyone, and goes home knowing forty new players.”
