About

FortyFive

Read full description

FortyFive is tournament management for card clubs and weekly leagues — one app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Pick a size and play. Twelve ready-made seasons cover 21, 24, 27, or 30 teams across 8, 9, or 10 weeks. Each schedule is built to limit repeat matchups. Color-coded groups make season length easy to spot: green for 8 weeks, yellow for 9, light blue for 10. Three teams sit at each table, so 21 teams is 7 tables, 24 is 8, 27 is 9, and 30 is 10. Continue Last Tournament resumes a saved event and shows its teams, tables, and weeks. Choosing a new size asks you to confirm, because that clears the saved players and scores. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Instant schedules — tables and weeks load as soon as you pick a configuration • Change teams or weeks — on Home, switch size and keep your players. The schedule reloads for the new size • Conflict highlighting — teams that meet more than once show in red • Players — tap Add New Player to open the form. A note appears when someone has no team or a team is not exactly two active players • Scores — enter weekly totals and sort by team or total. A night score ends in 0 or 5 and is at most 600; other numbers are outlined in red • Backup & restore — yellow Backup and peach Import stay in the top bar. Restore replaces the current tournament. Optional Merge appends weeks. Importing Teams or the Schedule uses the backup's size; change the size on Home afterward if this season is smaller • Scores-only export/import — move results without replacing the whole event • Print — current week or full schedule on iPhone, iPad, and Mac; player lists and score sheets on Mac GETTING AROUND On iPhone and iPad, Home, Schedule, Players, Scores, Help, and About are in the tab bar. On Mac, those same sections run along the top, with File menu shortcuts for backup and restore. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Player names, contacts, schedules, and scores are stored locally. Nothing is sent to our servers. There is no account, no ads, and no tracking. App Design by halhitchcock.com App Design support@halhitchcock.com
