Tournament ops features built for live event night

Generate the draw, protect it, and handle the late changes that happen on a real event night.

Race charts & results
Set race charts and keep director-confirmed results as the official record.

FAQ
Before your first event
Does TourneyStation replace a whiteboard?
Yes for brackets, table callouts, and the public board. Directors still run the room - the software removes spreadsheet recalcs and group-chat chaos.
Can I try before I pay?
Your first tournament includes the complete toolkit and SMS. After that, Free Director supports smaller ongoing events, or you can upgrade per event or monthly.
What formats are supported?
Single elimination, Modified SE / Second Chance, and Double Elimination. Formats are the same across plans; plans differ by size, concurrency, and operations tools.
Is there a public demo?
Yes. Open a live board with no account required from the demo page.
Ready for Friday?
Create an account, import a roster, and run a full first tournament free.
