Auto-scheduling is the fast way to fill a calendar: set your days, courts, and match length, and Score7 lays out the whole tournament for you. But sometimes you want your hands on it. Maybe the final belongs on center court at 8pm, maybe two clubs asked to play early, or maybe it's a one-day event where you'd rather just place everything yourself. That's what the manual planner board is for.

It sits right next to the auto-scheduler, and the two work on the same schedule — so you can generate a draft in one click and then tidy it up by hand.

The Wimbledon 2026 draw is out, and we've turned it into a ready-to-play Score7 bracket — both the Gentlemen's and the Ladies' singles, all 128 players, with the real first-round matchups already in place.

There's no single best format for an esports tournament — the right choice depends on what game you're running, how many participants you have, and how much time you've got. A fighting-game local and a 64-team Valorant cup want completely different structures. This guide maps the common esports scenarios to the format that fits, so you can pick with confidence instead of guessing.

In a Swiss tournament nobody is eliminated, so a large share of the field finishes on the same number of points. A nine-round open can easily end with a dozen players on 6½. Raw score alone can't rank them — and that's why Swiss leans on tiebreakers more heavily than any other format. The good tiebreakers don't just break the deadlock arbitrarily; they measure how hard your path was and rank you accordingly. This guide explains the three Score7 supports — Buchholz, Sonneborn–Berger, and ELO — with worked examples and advice on how to order them.

Chess tournaments come in every shape: a Saturday open at the local club, a scholastic event with two hundred kids, a corporate blitz night, an online league that runs for months. Whatever the setting, the organizing job is the same — pick the right format, set the rounds, pair players fairly, track results, and rank everyone with sensible tiebreakers. This guide walks through all of it, with the practical detail you need to run a smooth event.

League of Legends is a 5v5 MOBA, and like any team game its tournaments live and die on structure. Five-player rosters, draft phases, and games that run 25 to 45 minutes mean a thoughtful format and a realistic schedule matter more than they do for quick 1v1 brackets. Whether you're running a clash-style community cup, a club league over a season, or a one-day open, this guide covers the formats, registration, scheduling, and results handling that keep a League event on the rails.

Super Smash Bros. is the heartbeat of the fighting game community. Locals run weekly at game stores and bars, monthlies pull a hundred entrants, and regionals fill convention halls. Whether you're starting a weekly at your local venue or running a 64-entrant bracket for your university club, the formula is the same: pick double elimination, seed your bracket, schedule your setups, and keep the matches moving. This guide covers how to run a Smash event that players will come back to.

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter, and that team-based structure shapes everything about how you run a tournament for it. Five-player rosters, best-of-three series, and matches that run 45 minutes to over an hour mean you can't just throw everyone into a single-elimination bracket and call it a day. Whether you're running a community cup for your Discord or an inter-university league, this guide covers the formats, registration, scheduling, and result-handling that make a Valorant event work.

You're running a Sunday league. You have three referees on three courts. They finish their matches, walk over to you with a scrap of paper or a text message, and you type the score into the tournament. By the time you've caught up, the next round is already starting.

Score7 lets your referees enter results themselves — from their phones, with no login, no app to install. You give each referee a personal link, share it through whatever channel you already use, and they submit scores as matches end. Standings update live, and the referee's call beats anything a participant tried to report.

If you've ever looked at a serious volleyball league table — FIVB, club, or grassroots — you've probably noticed the standings don't follow simple win/loss counting. A team that wins 3-0 picks up more standings points than one that wins 3-2, and the team that pushed the match to the deciding set still earns a point even though they lost.

This is the 3-2-1-0 system, and it's the standard used by the FIVB and most national volleyball federations worldwide. Score7 supports it natively as a one-click "By Margin" scoring option in your stage settings.
