The page is removed automatically 48 hours after the last update, or 7 days after the tournament finishes. • Pro: Keep this link — one link and QR code for the whole event. Pausing the tournament doesn't take it down, and it stays online for 90 days after the last update. • The live page shows set-by-set scores, what's up next and a full results history with a podium when you finish. Players can tap Find me to see their own court and next match. • Print a QR poster or your fixtures with the live QR straight from the Live screen. • NEW: Points & ranking. Choose how many points a win, draw or loss is worth for Round Robin, Swiss and Group Stage (Settings → Points & ranking), or just for one tournament on the setup screen. Seasons can use custom league points too. • Without Pro you can now run tournaments with up to 8 players (was 4). • Other small fixes and improvements. ### 2.16 — 2026-10-02 Fixes and improvements • NEW: Edit Setup. Until the first result is in, go back and change the format, courts or players without starting over. • Group Stage: setup now only offers group and qualifier combinations that play through to a champion, and shows the group sizes before you start. Doubles Group Stage needs at least 8 players. Some combinations used to start with no matches or end without a winner. • Pro subscribers no longer see an upgrade screen for a moment after opening the app on a slow connection. • No more full-screen upgrade screen when you come back to the app. • Ending a tournament before any result is recorded no longer saves an empty entry to History. • Clearer guidance when you reach the 4-player limit. • Other small fixes and polish. ### 2.15 — 2026-10-01 NEW: Seasons (Pro) Turn your weekly club nights into one league table. Pick League points, Wins only or Placement points, add each night as you go, and share the standings.
