Formats that work for table tennis
Pick the format; Scoreholio generates every matchup and table
Round robin
Everyone plays a set number of matches against different opponents with a running leaderboard.
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 →Ladder
A standing ladder where players challenge up and defend their spot all season.
How it works →Switcholio
New random doubles partner each round with individual standings.
How it works →Swissholio
Swiss pairing: each round you play 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
Table tennis games go to 11, win by two, with matches played best of three or best of five. Set the match length in the tournament and the scoreboard tracks games won, match result and standings; use best-of settings so the final plays longer than the early rounds.
Score however fits your club: the organizer enters results from the admin screen, a tablet at each table runs an interactive scoreboard, 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, games won and head-to-head history save to every player's profile, and an SPR (Scoreholio Player Rating) carries across events.

Common questions
Can I run pool play into a knockout bracket?
Yes. Pool Play runs a round robin inside each group, then advances the top finishers into a single- or double-elimination bracket automatically.
Can matches be best of five?
Yes — set the match length per tournament, and best-of settings per bracket round so finals play longer than early rounds.
How do players score — do they need the app?
Three options: the organizer scores from the admin screen, tablets at each table 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 table tennis 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.
