Madbinton is the all-in-one platform for badminton players, coaches, clubs and tournament organizers. Whether you are running a local knockout, coaching an academy, or just tracking your own ladder, Madbinton keeps every match, score and ranking in one place — live. LIVE SCORING & SHARING Score any singles or doubles match point-by-point with a fast, glance-able scoreboard. Choose 11, 15 or 21 points, single game or best-of-three, with standard hard-cap or BWF win-by-two rules. Every match gets a shareable live link, so friends, parents and teammates can follow the score in real time without installing anything. TOURNAMENTS, DONE PROPERLY Create and manage tournaments from registration to trophy: • Round-robin groups, single-elimination knockouts, or groups-then-knockout. • Auto-generated fixtures and seeded brackets with correct byes — no manual draw maths. • A full bracket view that updates live as winners advance round by round. • Live standings, fixtures and a championship screen that crowns the real finals winner. • Add existing players by username or create guest players on the spot. COACHING & ACADEMIES Built for coaches who actually run sessions: • Manage your trainee roster, set proficiency levels and add assistant coaches. • Track skills across Footwork, Technique, Fitness and Mentality on a skill dashboard. • Mark daily attendance (Present / Late / Absent) and export reports. • Plan a Mon–Sun weekly schedule with rest days and a daily focus. • Trainees can log availability and absences; long vacations notify the coach automatically. CLUBS Bring your community together — create a club, manage members and roles, approve join requests, track shuttle inventory with low-stock alerts, and keep a shared match history. RANKINGS & STATS Climb the leaderboard. Rankings are scoped by state, tournament or club, with ELO-style ratings that reward beating stronger opponents. Every completed match updates your record and your standing automatically. DOUBLES & PAIRS First-class doubles support throughout — pair up, track team stats, and compete in doubles and mixed tournaments with proper pair-based brackets and standings. NOTIFICATIONS THAT MATTER Get notified when your match goes live, when a result is in, when a club session is about to start, and when fees or shuttles need attention — targeted, never spammy. WHY MADBINTON • Fast, dark, distraction-free interface designed for the side of a court. • Works for casual hits, club nights, academy programs and full tournaments alike. • One account, one place: matches, tournaments, coaching, clubs, rankings. Download Madbinton and run your next match, session or tournament like a pro.
