Free for small events · Nothing to install
How it works
Setting up a tournament on Tournamyx takes about five minutes: add your teams, generate the schedule, share the link. That’s the whole workflow.
Name it, enter your teams, pick a format — group stage, knockout, Swiss, or a multi-stage mix — and tell Tournamyx how many courts or fields you have.
Tournamyx builds a balanced, conflict-free schedule across your courts. Preview every fixture and standing before anything goes public.
Teams and spectators see fixtures, live scores, and standings on their phones. No app, no accounts, no “what time is our match?”
The shape of it
Paste eight names and this is what comes back — three rounds, no byes, winners advancing on their own as scores land. Scroll to play it out.

The comparison
Every tournament hits the same five moments. The difference is whether you handle them from a spreadsheet or from one link.
| The moment | The usual way | With Tournamyx |
|---|---|---|
| The schedule | An Excel sheet that lives on one laptop | One link, always current, on every phone |
| Score updates | 47 unread WhatsApp messages on match day | Standings update themselves as scores go in |
| A team drops out | Redraw the bracket by hand, again | Drag, drop — the bracket adjusts on its own |
| “What time is our match?” | Answered forty times, individually | Answered by the link, once |
| After the final | Typos on the printed bracket sponsors saw | A clean recap sponsors actually post |
If the middle column reads like your last event, Tournamyx was built for you.
In brief
Tournamyx is web-based tournament management software that turns a list of teams into a conflict-free match schedule, live standings, and one public results link that spectators open without an account.
Tournamyx runs at scores.tournamyx.com and is free for tournaments of up to 8 players. Organizers use it for futsal, football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, pickleball, chess, esports, and robotics events — see full pricing or the free generators.
Tournamyx supports round-robin, single elimination, Swiss rounds, attempt-based placement scoring, and multi-stage events where a group stage feeds a knockout bracket. Double elimination is not supported.
Yes. Tournamyx is free forever for tournaments of up to 8 players, with no limit on how many tournaments you run and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19 per month for up to 64 players.
Tournamyx costs $0 for up to 8 players, $19 per month for Plus (64 players), and $49 per month for Pro (256 players). Annual billing lowers these to $15 and $39 per month. A one-off $9 unlocks a single event for 30 days.
No. Tournamyx gives every tournament one public link that opens in any web browser and shows the schedule, live scores, standings, and brackets. Spectators need no account, no login, and no app download. Only the organizer needs an account.
Setting up a tournament on Tournamyx takes about five minutes: you paste or type a team list, pick a format, and tell Tournamyx how many courts or fields you have. The schedule itself generates in roughly ten seconds.
Tournamyx ran the IIUM Robotic Competition in July 2025: 406 teams across 3 categories, 755 matches scheduled and scored live across 8 fields on a single public link. Plan limits are 8 players on Free, 64 on Plus, and 256 on Pro.
Tournamyx is a web application at scores.tournamyx.com and runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and phone. There is no iOS or Android app to install, and nothing to download for scorers or spectators.
What it handles
Five places where most tournaments fall apart. None of them will be yours.
01/Scheduling
Enter your teams, groups, and courts. Tournamyx generates a balanced, conflict-free schedule — the job that used to eat your Saturday night.
02/Preview
Walk through every fixture, field assignment, and standing before you publish. Spot the imbalance or the awkward matchup while nobody’s watching.
03/Changes
Thirty minutes before kickoff, someone always cancels. Drag the team out, drop a replacement in — the bracket and the public link adjust on their own.
04/Scoring
The scorer picks the match, types the result, hits save. Standings recalculate, the bracket advances, and the public link shows it — before the teams have left the court.
05/Collaboration
Invite co-scorekeepers with the right permissions and divide the venue between you. Every score lands in the same live standings — no “who has the latest sheet?”
Conflict-free across every court · free for up to 8 players
The public link
One link opens the whole event in the browser — categories, schedules, live brackets. No app, no accounts, no “what time is our match?”
At the IIUM Robotic Competition that meant one address for 406 teams, their coaches, and families watching from eight countries — none of whom installed anything.
Case study — IIUMRC, Jul 2025
In July 2025, Tournamyx ran the IIUM Robotic Competition — the annual international robotics tournament at IIUM Gombak, where school teams from Malaysia and abroad battle in sumo, robot soccer, and time-rush events. 406 teams across three categories, 755 matches scheduled and scored live, every standing on one public link. If it can run an international robotics championship, it can run your Sunday futsal night.

Same engine that ran 755 matches across 8 fields
Who it’s for
Futsal leagues, badminton draws, volleyball pools, chess Swiss rounds, esports brackets, robotics scoring, school sports days — different formats, same engine. Every event gets a conflict-free schedule, live standings, and one shareable results link.
Before you pick a format
Sixteen teams is 15 matches as a single-elimination bracket, 31 as four groups of four feeding quarter-finals, 32 as a Swiss event, and 120 as a full round robin. On 2 courts at 30-minute slots, that is the difference between finishing in about 4 hours and needing about 30 hours — which no longer fits in a single day.
Pick the format against the court hours you have actually booked, not the other way round. Every format below has a free generator that builds the fixtures for it.
| Teams | Single eliminationMatches · hours | Groups + knockoutMatches · hours | SwissMatches · hours | Round robinMatches · hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 7 · 2 h | 15 · 4 h | 12 · 3 h | 28 · 7 h |
| 12 | 11 · 3 h | 23 · 6 h | 24 · 6 h | 66 · 16.5 h |
| 16 | 15 · 4 h | 31 · 8 h | 32 · 8 h | 120 · 30 h |
| 24 | 23 · 6 h | 47 · 12 h | 60 · 15 h | 276 · 69 h |
A round robin needs n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 matches, a single-elimination bracket needs n − 1, a Swiss event needs ⌈log₂ n⌉ × ⌊n ÷ 2⌋, and a group stage of four-team groups feeding a knockout needs 1.5n plus its bracket. For 16 teams that is 120 matches as a round robin, 15 as a single-elimination bracket, 32 as a Swiss event, and 31 as four groups of four into quarter-finals.
A Swiss tournament and a round robin both rank a whole field without eliminating anyone, but a Swiss event plays only ⌈log₂ n⌉ rounds while a round robin plays every possible pairing. Sixteen teams in a Swiss tournament is 4 rounds and 32 matches; the same 16 teams in a round robin is 15 rounds and 120 matches.
Single elimination sends half the field home after one match: a 16-team single-elimination bracket is 15 matches and guarantees every team one game. A 16-team group stage of four groups of four feeding quarter-finals is 31 matches and guarantees every team three games, so it costs roughly twice the court time to give every entrant a real day out.
Single elimination is the fastest tournament format at every field size, because it eliminates one team per match and needs only n − 1 matches in total. Sixteen teams finish in 15 matches as a single-elimination bracket, against 31 as groups into a knockout, 32 as a Swiss event, and 120 as a full round robin.
A tournament's run time is the number of matches in each round divided by the number of courts, rounded up, multiplied by the slot length and summed across rounds — rounds are sequential, so a flat matches-÷-courts estimate runs short. A 16-team single-elimination bracket on 2 courts at 30-minute slots takes about 4 hours; the same 16 teams as a full round robin takes about 30 hours.
One court running 30-minute slots fits 16 matches in an eight-hour day, so the number of courts you need is set by the format, not just by the field size. Sixteen teams finish inside a single eight-hour day on 1 court as a single-elimination bracket, on 2 courts as four groups of four into quarter-finals, on 2 courts as a Swiss event, and on 8 courts as a full round robin.
A round robin with an odd number of teams gives one team a bye in every round, and the bye rotates so nobody sits out twice before everybody has sat out once. An 11-team round robin therefore runs 11 rounds and 55 matches, with each team idle for exactly one round; an even field needs only n − 1 rounds because nobody sits out. Tournamyx rotates the bye automatically rather than leaving a gap in the grid.
A knockout bracket needs enough byes to reach the next power of two above the field size, and they are seated on the top seeds so the strongest teams enter in round two. A 12-team bracket takes 4 byes and 11 matches, a 20-team bracket takes 12 byes and 19 matches, and a 24-team bracket takes 8 byes and 23 matches. A field that is already a power of two — 8, 16, 32 — needs none.
Tournament software is priced on one of three axes — per participant in an event, per event run, or per organization — and which axis a tool uses matters more than its headline number for an organizer running many small events. Tournamyx prices on participants per tournament: $0 for up to 8 players, $19 per month for up to 64, and $49 per month for up to 256, with no limit on how many tournaments you run on any tier including Free.

Weighing up other tools? Here’s a neutral checklist for comparing them.
Yes. You can build a full tournament at scores.tournamyx.com without signing up — Tournamyx creates a guest session, and an account is only required when you publish the event, add an organization, or upgrade. The free generators on tournamyx.com need no account at all.
Tournamyx lets you drag a team out of a running tournament and drop a replacement in. The bracket, the standings, and the public link everyone is checking all update together — no rebuild, no group-chat announcement, and nothing redrawn by hand.
Yes. Tournamyx supports owner, admin, and member roles plus per-tournament scoring permissions, so you can invite co-scorekeepers and split the venue by court, category, or field. Every score lands in the same live standings.
Tournamyx places byes automatically, so an organizer never has to work out the bracket padding by hand. Tournamyx seats them on the top seeds, advances those teams straight to round two, and redraws the bracket if the team count changes before kick-off.
Tournamyx supports both. You can seed teams deliberately so the strongest sides meet late, or use the one-click randomiser for a contested draw, and Tournamyx builds the bracket from whichever order you settle on.
Tournamyx ranks group tables on match points and recalculates them on every save. Tie-breaks are applied automatically, and attempt-based events can rank on custom metrics such as fastest time or highest score instead of points.
Yes. Tournamyx exports the full match schedule and blank scoresheets for every field as print-ready PDFs, for referees, judges, and the registration desk. On the Pro plan those PDFs carry your organization logo.
Yes, on every plan including Free. Tournamyx does not limit how many tournaments you run or how many are active at once — the plan limit is on players per tournament, not on the number of tournaments.
Yes, on Pro. Tournamyx shows unlimited sponsors on the public event page and reports click-throughs and audience analytics afterwards, so you have something concrete to send a sponsor after the final.
Tournamyx is used for futsal, football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, pickleball, chess, esports, robotics and STEM competitions, university sport, school sports days, and corporate events. The formats differ from sport to sport; the scheduling and live-scoring engine underneath is the same.
