How Tourny Differs from TeamLinkt

Flexible Tournament Structures

Tourny gives you more options for how a tournament is structured. It supports:

• Round robin
• Single elimination
• Double elimination
• Swiss ladder
• Custom brackets
• Round robin to playoffs
• Power pools to playoffs
• Multiple playoff flights

You build the tournament one stage at a time and set your own rules for who advances between rounds.

Advancement and Tiebreakers

You decide how teams move through the event, for example:

• Top teams from each pool
• Best teams overall
• Top teams from each pool, plus the next best overall

You can also set tiebreakers to match your rules, so standings and playoff spots come out the way you expect.

Scheduling

Tourny generates a schedule from your venues, playing spaces, time slots, and game lengths. Then you can:

• Drag and drop games
• Move games to different times or venues
• Deal with delays and last-minute changes
• Keep adjusting the schedule during the event

For sports where game lengths vary, you can also use next-available-space scheduling.

Game-Day Changes

During the event, you can:

• Submit and correct scores
• Record forfeits
• Adjust brackets
• Change matchups

Participant Experience

Participants can see:

• Public schedules
• Live standings
• Brackets
• Venue information
• Event information

Players, coaches, parents, and spectators can look things up themselves instead of asking you.

Tourny Pricing: Pay Per Event, No Subscription

Tourny costs $30 USD per tournament ($40 CAD in Canada) and $50 USD per league ($60 CAD). There's no subscription. Setup is free, you only pay when you publish, and taxes and processing fees are included.

So you can build your whole event before spending anything, and new organizers can earn a free event. See pricing for details.
