How Tourny Differs from TeamSnap

Flexible Tournament Structures

Tourny doesn't lock you into a fixed format. You build the tournament one stage at a time, for example:

• Round robin
• Single elimination bracket
• Double elimination bracket
• Round robin to playoffs
• Round robin to multiple brackets
• Round robin to power pools to playoffs
• Swiss ladder format
• Custom bracket structures

You set the advancement rules, seeding, and tiebreakers to match your event.

Scheduling

Tourny can schedule games at set times, or send them to the next available space.

For sports like baseball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and hockey, Tourny generates a schedule from your venues, playing spaces, game lengths, and time slots. You can then drag and drop games to adjust it.

For sports where game lengths vary, Tourny sends the next game to each court or space as it opens up.

Game-Day Changes

During the event, you can:

• Submit and correct scores
• Record forfeits
• Move games
• Adjust the schedule
• Change matchups
• Manage who advances to the playoffs

Participant Experience

Every tournament gets a public website where teams, players, coaches, and spectators can see:

• Schedules
• Standings
• Brackets
• Results
• Event information
• Venue details
• Rules and event updates

With everything in one place, you get fewer questions during the tournament.

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.
