Made for players, by a player: no accounts, no subscriptions, no nonsense. Open the app at the court and start playing. RUN IT LOCAL — OR LIVE IN THE CLOUD Keep it simple on one phone, or switch on Cloud for a bigger event: • Share a join code — players join from their own phones, no account needed • Players follow the rounds live and always see their next court • Players submit their own scores by tapping the grid; you review and confirm each one as game master • Edit any score until the tournament ends • Game-master recovery — a private recovery code lets you hand control to another phone or recover after a reinstall, so a big event never depends on a single device Cloud is optional and off by default.
