PlayTour
For clubs and associations

Run your tournament,from entry to final standings

Tournament software for sports clubs and associations. Players enter themselves, the draw and the playing schedule take a few clicks, and results go online as they come in. One system for the whole tournament, for every sport. Starting costs nothing.

Less admin, more sport

The three jobs a tournament committee loses the most time to. Here is what PlayTour takes off your hands.

Players enter themselves

You put your categories online with their entry fee, capacity and closing date. Players fill in their own details and invite their partner or team themselves. You never retype an entry form again.

Draw and schedule in a few clicks

Choose groups, a knockout, a Swiss system or a mass start. PlayTour divides the field, puts courts and times beside it and warns you about clashes — before you publish.

Results online straight away

Somebody enters the score court-side. Group tables and rankings update themselves, players and spectators follow along, and the final standings are there once the last match has been played.

How you put your tournament online

Four steps from an empty screen to a tournament players can enter.

  1. 1

    Create your club

    A name, your club logo and the volunteers who help out. Per person you set what they may see and do.

  2. 2

    Set up your tournament

    Date, venue, categories, entry fee and capacity. Per category you choose the format and the way it is scored.

  3. 3

    Publish and share

    Your tournament goes onto playtour.nl and can be found there. Rather keep it to your own members? Share the link or the invitation code and it appears in no list.

  4. 4

    Draw, play and close

    After the closing date you make the draw and publish the schedule. During the tournament the results come in from the courts, and the final standings are ready once the last match has been played.

Whichever sport you play

From the club tennis championships to Thursday night darts. Pick your sport and see what a tournament looks like for you.

Everything for your tournament, in one place

From the first entry to the final result in one system: manage players, make the draw, build the playing schedule and keep the scores. No spreadsheet to maintain, no group chat to send the schedule around.

What your club can do depends on your plan. You pay per club, per year — not per tournament and not per entrant. The pricing page says what each plan includes.
