## What is The Rooster?

The Rooster is the home base for tournament sports — built for players, captains, and directors who want less chaos and more game day.

Find your next event
Browse tournaments near you on a map or list. Save the ones you love. See dates, locations, divisions, and entry fees before you commit.

Build your team
Create a team, manage your roster, invite players with a link, and keep everyone in sync — from signup to the final out.

Register & pay in one flow
Sign up for divisions, handle waitlists, and pay securely in the app. Captains stay organized. Players know where they stand.

Run it like a director
Publish tournaments, invite teams, manage registrations, send announcements, generate brackets, and enter scores as games go live. Share flyers and QR codes so the field finds you.

Stay in the action
Follow schedules, brackets, and results. Get day-of alerts when it matters. Watch public tournament pages even without an account — then jump in when you’re ready to play.

Whether you’re hunting for a weekend bracket, filling a roster, or running the whole event — The Rooster keeps discovery, teams, payments, and live ops in one app.

Download The Rooster. Get on the field.
