List your venue on PikolMaester.

On the Draw screen, choose how many pools and how many teams go through from each, then Make the draw: teams are spread over the pools by seed (1, 2, 3 ... then back again) and play everyone in their pool. When the last pool match has a result we let you know; check the pool tables and press Make the playoff. Pool winners are kept apart, the best finishers get any byes, and every team hears whether it is through. Pool results are fixed once the playoff is made: Undo the playoff (before any playoff match is played) to correct one; the teams that were through are told it is off for now, and everyone hears again when you make it.

A team is out after its second loss, so everyone plays at least two matches. The winners bracket is seeded like single elimination; a first loss drops a team into the losers bracket, placed so it does not meet the same team again early where the bracket allows. The winners-bracket champion meets the losers-bracket champion in the Grand Final. If the losers-bracket team wins it, both have one loss, so a Grand Final reset is played for the title; if not, the reset shows as not needed. Third place is the team beaten in the losers-bracket final. Plan for about twice as many matches as single elimination: Auto-schedule keeps every match after the ones that feed it, and the desk calls the reset only if it is needed.

Round robin and pool tables rank teams by wins, then head-to-head between the teams level on wins, then games won minus lost, then points won minus lost. A team whose place was settled by head-to-head is marked H2H, and Games % and Points % show the share of games and points each team won, so nobody has to ask how a tie was broken. The event page, the score board and the printed pool tables all show it. Every result you record also builds each player's public profile: a Tournaments section lists the events they played, where they finished and their verified match wins and losses (walkovers listed apart), from public events that are on or finished only.

When a division is full, captains can put their team on its waitlist (partner invite and all). Nobody on it pays anything. As soon as a place frees up, because a team withdraws, you remove one, an unpaid entry runs out of time or you raise the most teams, the first team in line moves in: a free division confirms it straight away; for a paid one we take the fee from the captain's JamCredits when they cover it, and otherwise the captain has 2 hours to pay before the place goes to the next team. The teams are told each step in the app and by email.

The Teams tab lists the waitlist below the entries, in line order: move a team Up or Down, or Remove it (they are told; there is nothing to refund). A new entry, a walk-in included, never takes a free place ahead of the teams waiting. Locking the draw closes the waitlist and tells everyone still on it.

If you set a most-teams limit for the whole event, reaching it fills every division at once. The event page, the entry form and the waitlist emails then say the tournament is full, not the division, and the waitlist is for the next place anywhere in the event.

Edit it on the Schedule tab. A court already in use, a team playing twice at once, a time outside your held days and times, or a knockout match before the one feeding it is refused with the reason; less rest than you set is asked about first. Nothing is public until you publish, and then only the teams whose match moved are told, with the old and new time. A knockout match also has to leave room for any match between it and the next round that has no time yet. On the day you can also move a match to another court from its score screen, as long as that court has no other match at the same time. If you change the event's days or courts later, or a match clashes with another, it is marked and the schedule cannot be published until it is moved. To change the match length once matches have times, auto-schedule all matches not yet played again with the new length.

A team that has not checked in shows in red wherever its match is, and nothing happens by itself: you decide. Wait for them, or tap No-show next to the missing team on a match not yet started. The other team wins by walkover, the bracket and standings move on, and both teams are told. A walkover has no score: its score screen says which team left instead of showing the score form. Teams that paid at the desk check in at the desk, not with the QR.

The Brackets, Draw, Schedule and Check-in & calls tabs have a Print row: the bracket (it prints sideways), the pool tables with each pool's matches, the order of play (a page per court, or every court by time), a blank score sheet for each match (two to a page, with the team names, a box per game and lines to sign) and a check-in sheet per division with what each team still owes. Pick the division and A4 or Letter at the top, then press Print; each division and each court starts on a new page. The order of play prints the published times, so publish the schedule first. The bracket, pool tables and order of play show team names only, so they are fine to pin up; keep the check-in sheet at the desk.

Once published, every event page has its own share picture, made for it: the name, dates, venue, entry fee, and whether entries are open, full, live, finished or cancelled. Paste the link into Messenger, Facebook, Viber or X and that is the preview people see. Change the details and the picture follows by itself. The page also tells Google the dates, venue, organiser, entry fee and status, so it can show it as an event in search, and the event is listed in the site map. A draft, a password-protected event, a private event or an event at a hidden club is never shared or listed this way.

Make a poster (on the event page, and beside each published event in your Tournaments tab) draws a picture for a Facebook post, 1080 × 1350 or square: your banner photo, the name, dates, venue, divisions, entry fee and prize, a big Register now (Follow live on the day, See the results after) and a QR to the event page. It follows the light or dark look you are viewing the site in; a private event's QR lets people straight in. Add an Event banner photo under the event form (JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 5MB) and it also shows at the top of the event page and on its card in the list.

Every confirmed team gets its own check-in QR, in My Jam and in its "you're in" email. On the day, press Scan to check in on the Check-in & calls tab and point the camera at it, or type the 8-character code under it. You see the team, its division and its next match, and the same rules as the Check in button apply: only on the day, only a team that is in the event, and only at the event it entered. Your club's Open scanner knows these codes too. The codes are private to each team and never show on the event page, the board or the print sheets.

For a members-only or invitation event, tick Private event in the event form. It gets an access code (you can type your own, 4 to 20 letters or numbers) and is no longer listed: not on the tournaments page, in search, the site map or share previews. Visitors see only its name, your club and a box for the code. Copy share link with code in your Tournaments tab sends the link with the code in it, and the TV board link carries the code too. Teams already entered, your staff and you never need it. Change the code and everyone who got in with the old one has to enter the new one.

You, your managers and your front desk, from any phone. Two phones on the same match can't overwrite each other: the second tap is refused and shows the latest score first.

Players can send the final score of their own match from their phone, so a busy day does not wait on you. They can send it once you have called or started the match, or its time on the schedule has come (or, while the event is on, for a match from an earlier day that never got its result); against a walk-in team with no account, you enter the result. Pressing Start does not cancel a score already sent, but scoring point by point does, and both teams are told. The other team is asked to confirm it; if they do nothing within 15 minutes it counts by itself, and the bracket, standings and emails move on exactly as if you had entered it. If they dispute it, you get a notice and an email and the match waits for you. Scores waiting and disputed show at the top of the Check-in & calls tab: press Accept, or Enter score to save your own, which is final and replaces theirs. You can also correct any result later. Until a score is confirmed, the score board and printed sheets show it as waiting for confirmation (or disputed), and it never counts in the standings. Live point-by-point scoring stays with you and your staff, and the score history shows who sent, confirmed or accepted each score. Prefer to enter every result yourself? Untick Players can send their own scores in the event's Scoring settings; a score already waiting still goes through.

Use Or enter the whole score for a match kept on paper, a forfeit, a no-show or a retirement. Correct score fixes a mistake later. Every change is kept in the match's score history, and the standings are worked out again from the results.

You can still edit it. If a save changes the days, times or courts, or a division's name, format or third-place match, every team entered gets an email and an in-app notice saying exactly what changed, so check before you press Save.

Remove them under Entries. Matches they already played stay as results. In an elimination draw (or a playoff) their opponent goes through on a walkover; in a round robin or a pool their remaining matches count as walkovers (a win and a loss, no score), and they cannot go through to a playoff. The bracket, standings and score board show it, and the teams that go through are told. Until any match has been played you can make the draw again instead.

Entry fees paid online go into your earnings with your usual commission and are paid out with everything else. Cash from a walk-in team stays with you. Captains who withdraw before your cut-off get their fee back automatically; after it, there is no refund.

Cancel a whole tournament, or just one division. Every team in it is refunded in full and told, whatever your cut-off. Cancelling the whole tournament also puts its courts back on sale. Cash you took at the desk shows under Refunds owed for you to hand back. How refunds work.
