Find a clubSingles, doubles and mixed draws, 21-point scoring and multi-court scheduling are part of the tournament — not something you rebuild in a spreadsheet.
Games run to 21, win by 2, with the standard 30-point cap. Matches are best of 1 or best of 3 games, configurable per division.
Create separate draws for men’s, women’s, mixed and open events, with level bands or age limits where you need them.
Run single elimination, double elimination for 4/8/16/32-team fields, round robin, pool play into playoffs, or Swiss.
Seed the draw so top entries are separated, and give byes where the field does not fill the bracket.
Assign matches to named courts, order the day, and give players a schedule they can follow on their phone.
Enter scores at the court, update standings instantly, and project a bracket or scoreboard to a club TV.
Formats
Pick the draw that fits the entry list. Formats are chosen per division, so a club championship can run a knockout while a social night runs round robin.
Group stage first, then the top entries advance into a seeded knockout bracket.
Best for: Club championships and events with a group stage.
Straight knockout draw for 4–64 entries, with an optional third-place match.
Best for: One-day events with limited courts.
Winners and losers brackets with a grand final and reset, for 4, 8, 16 or 32-entry draws.
Best for: Events where one loss should not end the day.
Every entry plays every other entry, with configurable points and tiebreakers.
Best for: Small draws and club nights where everyone wants matches.
Fixed rounds with strength-based pairing and Buchholz / Sonneborn-Berger tiebreakers.
Best for: Large fields that need a fair ranking without a knockout.
Dual-match team competition scored line by line, with a team winner at the end.
Best for: Inter-club leagues and team rivalries.
Workflow
The draw, the court schedule and the scores stay in sync, so you do not rebuild the bracket after every result.
Pick badminton, set the dates, venue and courts, then open online registration or import an entry list by CSV/Excel.
Add singles, doubles and mixed divisions, choose a draw format, set the scoring and seed the entries.
Check players in, publish the order of play, enter scores at the court, and let brackets and standings update live.
Rules
Standard rally scoring by default; every value is adjustable per division.
A game is won at 21 with a two-point margin. At 20–20 play continues; the standard 30-point cap applies.
Choose the match length per division. Each game is scored independently and the match winner advances.
Each draw is its own division, with its own entry rules, seeding and level band.
Seed the draw and place byes where the field does not fill the bracket — no manual bracket surgery.
Double elimination is supported for 4, 8, 16 and 32-entry draws; other sizes are rejected with a clear message.
Standings sort by wins, then point differential and points scored, so ties resolve consistently.
Templates
Templates prefill the draws and scoring for a familiar event type. Use one as-is, or save your own setup for next season.
