How it works

A couple of steps to joining your first Playtopus tournament.

Playing

Find an open bracket

Browse tournaments near you, filtered to your sports, level and how far you are willing to travel. Every card shows the venue, the dates, the format and the entry fee before you commit.

Join in a couple of taps

Enter solo or with a partner. Free tournaments confirm instantly. For a paid bracket your card is saved but not charged until the organiser actually starts the tournament.

Play, report, advance

Turn up and play in person. Either player reports the result and the other confirms; the bracket updates for everyone the moment it is agreed.

See how it finished

Final standings, your updated rating and your head-to-head record against players you meet often, all kept as you go.

Organising

Set it up

Name it, pick the sport and draw size, choose knockout or round robin, set the venue and the dates. Seven short steps and a review before anything goes live.

Open the doors

Publish to the Discover feed, or share a private link with your club. Entries, the waiting list and reminders are handled for you.

Run the rounds

Start the tournament and the draw generates itself. Nudge players who are late, record results, advance rounds, and get your payout when it finishes.
