Running a Grand Slam is easy. You have unlimited budget, 20 courts, and a staff of hundreds. Running a local league tournament? That is the real challenge.
The Juggling Act
You aren’t just running “a tournament”. You are seemingly running 12 tournaments at once:
- The U13s (who need chaperones)
- The Vets (who need coffee)
- Men’s & Women’s Singles (who need the “good tables”)
- Open Doubles (which you forgot to schedule until just now)
The Resource Crunch
You have 150 players, 12 categories, and… 9 tables. One of which has a broken net. It’s a game of Tetris. If you put the U13s on Table 1, where do the Division 1 finals go? Every decision feels like a compromise.
The “Time Crisis”
We’ve all been there. It’s 9:00 PM. The final was supposed to start an hour ago, but the Semi-Finals are only just warming up. The caretaker is looking at his watch. The parents are looking at you.
How TourneyPilot helps the “Little Guy”
We built TourneyPilot specifically for the resource-constrained local organizer.
1. Multi-Category Master View
We don’t make you switch between 12 different tabs. Our Master Schedule view lays out every category on a single timeline. You can see exactly how the U13s finishing will free up tables for the Men’s Singles.
2. “Will We Overrun?”
Our algorithm knows how long a match “actually” takes (not just how long you hope it takes). As you build your schedule, we show you a predicted Finish Time.
- Predicted Finish: 18:30 (Nice!)
- Predicted Finish: 23:15 ( Panic! Time to remove a consolation event.)
