Manage every aspect of your tournament, without the whiteboards
OpenSports gives organizers the power to create, schedule, and manage tournaments, while taking care of registrations, standings, and advancement for you.
The day-of tournament experience, reimagined
Managing a tournament on site can often feel hectic for field managers and players. With the OpenSports app, it is easy to make quick changes on game day and keep everybody in the loop.
Players
Who am I playing next? How has that team performed? Live standings and match updates allow players to immerse themselves in the tournament experience at a deeper level! Players feel at ease knowing they will receive the schedule in advance and be notified of changes.
Admins
Rain delay? Refs are late? Site changes? Easily shuffle things around for quick on the fly fixes! Players are notified about changes through notifications and emails, and don’t spend their time running back and forth to the whiteboard to view tournament updates.
Captains
Have all of my teammates paid? When will our first match be? Players have all of the information they need through the app, taking the strain off the captain. Captains have less responsibility to remind teammates about payments, upcoming games, and standings.
