Get the room running
A 10-minute guide for tournament directors and staff.
1. Create a venue & tournament
From Admin → Venues, add the playing site. Then go to New Tournament, pick a discipline and rule template, list players, and generate the bracket.
2. Pair table tablets
On each tablet, open /kiosk. It will display a 6-digit pairing code. In Admin → Devices, enter the code, assign a venue + table number, and label the device.
Tablets stay locked to their assigned table across reloads. Use the on-tablet PIN (default 0000) to exit kiosk mode.
3. Run the floor
From Admin → Floor, dispatch upcoming matches to free tables. Players see them on the kiosk, run the chess clock, and submit results when finished.
Approve or correct results in Admin → Verify. Approving a winner advances the bracket automatically.
4. Broadcast & spectators
For OBS overlays, copy the URL from Admin → Streaming and add it as a Browser Source at 1920×1080 with transparency.
Spectators can follow live brackets at /tournaments and watch any active match at /live.
Roles & permissions
The first signup becomes super admin and can grant roles to others. Staff (staff, tournament_director, admin, super_admin) can edit tournaments, players, venues, and rules. Players can only watch.
All admin actions are recorded in Admin → Audit Log.
Install on a tablet (PWA)
Open this site in Chrome or Safari on the tablet, then choose “Add to Home Screen”. The app launches full-screen straight into kiosk mode.
