TourneyMind runs the whole tournament — from the schedule that takes a weekend to build by hand, to the scores a parent refreshes from the bleachers. FOR DIRECTORS • Build a schedule that respects real constraints — a coach with two teams, a gym that opens late, a team that cannot play before noon. • Pools, brackets, seeding and standings, kept in sync as scores land. • One game-day screen: what is playing on every court, who has not checked in yet, which pool just finished and which division is ready for medals. • Reach a coach in one tap when something needs sorting out right now. FOR COACHES AND TEAMS • Your schedule, your pool, your bracket, and where you are playing next. • Check your team in at the desk. • Message the director without hunting for a phone number. FOR PARENTS AND FANS • Follow a team and get a notification when their game is about to start and when the final score lands. • Live scores, standings and brackets, no account needed. Registration fees collected through TourneyMind buy entry to a real, in-person sporting event at a named venue on a named date. TourneyMind is built by TourneyMind LLC.
