Rack IQ is the bridge between amateur and professional pocket billiards — a precision scoring, rating, and tournament platform built by a former NASA engineer. EVERY SHOT COUNTS Score matches shot by shot in three quick taps. Rack IQ knows the rules of the game — banks, kicks, jumps, massé, combos, safeties, break bonuses — and turns every match into real statistics: your strengths, your weaknesses, and how you actually perform under pressure. TWO RATINGS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Your Competitive rating tracks who you beat. Your Rack IQ Score (0–100) tracks how you shoot — accuracy, errors, safety quality, and advanced-shot success, computed from a permanent shot-by-shot record that can never be hand-edited. RUN REAL TOURNAMENTS Directors get the full toolkit: certified random draws, single and double elimination brackets from 8 to 1,024 players following the industry-standard chart, live scorekeeping with player verification, automatic pool-table assignment with player call notifications, and a public TV display any smart TV can show — live brackets, table status, and streams, no cables needed. WATCH AND STREAM Broadcast matches on your own YouTube or Twitch channel and Rack IQ embeds them for fans, with live score overlays on the venue TVs. Replays stay linked to the match record. MEMBERSHIP TIERS - Basic (free): your player profile, one-on-one scored matches, and your personal stats. - Premium: create and run tournaments, live brackets and dashboards, table management, TV display, full analytics. - Top Tier: everything in Premium plus the Calcutta auction system for managing player auctions at your events. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple account, monthly or annually. Whether you are grinding league night or running a 128-player open, Rack IQ gives your game the numbers it deserves. Rack IQ offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions (Premium and Top Tier, monthly or annual). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
