Tournament software for any sport you can keep score in
If it involves players, standings, brackets or leagues, Scoreholio can power it — from emerging backyard games to established competitive leagues. Build the matchups, assign the courts, keep score and put live standings on the TV, whatever you play.
Why Scoreholio works for any sport
A universal tournament engine, not a cornhole app with extra sports bolted on
Universal tournament engine
Leagues, round robins, ladders, Swiss pairing and brackets for almost any competitive format — pick the shape, Scoreholio generates every round.
Every way to make teams
Singles, set teams, blind draw, Switcholio rotating partners, Split Switch skill groups and Squadholio squads.
Live leaderboards on any TV
Real-time standings, next-round matchups and court assignments on the venue screens. Announce mode calls out the courts.
Push alerts to players
Every player gets a notification with who they play, where and when. No whiteboard, no shouting names.
Pre-registration & QR check-in
Know exactly who's showing up before play starts, and check walk-ups in with a scan.
Brackets, leagues and seasons
Round robin into a bracket, weeks-long set-schedule leagues, and Seasons that track points across events.
Formats that work for other sports
Every format runs the same way regardless of sport
Round robin
Everyone plays a set number of matches against different opponents with a running leaderboard.
How it works →Switcholio
A different random partner every round with individual standings — the easiest way to mix a crowd in any doubles game.
How it works →Pool play → bracket
Groups play a round robin, then the top finishers advance into a single- or double-elimination bracket.
How it works →Double elimination
Winners and losers brackets so one loss doesn't end the day.
How it works →Swissholio
Swiss pairing: each round you face someone with a similar record.
How it works →Set-schedule leagues
A weeks-long league with the full schedule up front and stats carried across the season.
How it works →Scoring, your way
Scoreholio's scoreboard tracks a match by points, games or sets to whatever target your sport uses — and turns results into live standings, seeding and bracket progression. Set the game target, best-of length and timers per tournament.
Score however fits your venue: the organizer enters results from the admin screen, a tablet at each court runs an interactive scoreboard in kiosk mode, or turn on Player Scoring so players submit from their own phones. Remote Mode controls every connected scoreboard and TV from one place.
Win–loss records, point differential and head-to-head history save to every player's profile, and an SPR (Scoreholio Player Rating) carries across events.

Common questions
My sport isn't listed. Can I still use Scoreholio?
Yes. Choose "Other" as the sport and use any team generation and format; scoring, standings, brackets, push alerts and TV dashboards all work the same way.
How do I get a dedicated page and settings for my sport?
Rally your community: get 1,000 players actively running events on Scoreholio, and let's talk about sport-specific stats and features.
Does it work for individual sports as well as doubles?
Yes. Singles team generation runs one-on-one matches; set teams, blind draw and Switcholio cover doubles and larger squads.
How do players score — do they need the app?
Three options: the organizer scores from the admin screen, tablets at each court run interactive scoreboards, or players score from their own phones with the free Scoreholio app (Player Scoring is part of the Competitive organizer level and up). Live standings show on any TV either way.
What does it cost to run a tournament tournament?
The Social organizer level is free forever: round robins and brackets, digital scoreboards and dashboards, up to 8 courts and 32-team brackets. Competitive ($4.99/month) adds player phone scoring, game timers, custom alerts, live chat support and advanced stats; higher levels raise the court and bracket limits. Quick Tournaments (up to 16 players, 4 courts) are free for anyone with an organizer account. See pricing.
What do players and organizers need?
Players: a phone with the free Scoreholio app (iOS or Android) and an internet connection at the venue. Organizers can run everything from a phone, tablet or computer and put live standings on any TV. See supported devices.
