## What is Pongly?

■ Tired of running tournaments on paper or spreadsheets?
Pongly turns your phone into a singles table tennis league manager — with a built-in personal rating tracker. Add players, pick a format, and start. It really is just three taps.

■ Personal ELO rating, built in
Every match you log automatically updates each player's ELO rating.
• Beat a stronger player and your rating jumps; lose to a weaker one and it drops — a fair, math-based system.
• Set-count differential (3-0 / 3-1 / 3-2) adjusts the swing, so blowouts and close games are weighted differently.
• A progress chart on each player's profile shows their rating over time.
• Pick your starting rating from 5 levels (beginner to competitor, default intermediate). The first 10 matches adjust quickly to fit your real strength.

■ What you can do (all plans)
• Personal ELO rating — auto-updated per match, with progress chart
• Register players (name only, photo optional)
• Auto-generate singles round-robin brackets
• Pick the match format: best of 1, 3, or 5 games
• Log scores set-by-set
• See live standings sorted by win rate, head-to-head, and set differential
• Browse past leagues from your history
• Use it in English, Japanese, Simplified or Traditional Chinese
• Works offline — no internet required
• No ads, no account sign-up, no personal data collected

Have 13 or more players? Pongly auto-splits them into balanced leagues.
• Handles tournaments up to 200 players (measured at 64ms generation time)
• Seeds A / B / C leagues from highest to lowest rating
• League sizes kept as even as possible
• Enter how many tables you have and see the estimated tournament duration as "about X h Y min" — instantly see how more tables shorten it
