The challenge
Tournament information lived in spreadsheets and social media posts. Players could not reliably find draws or times, organisers re-entered the same data in several places, and every tournament meant another round of manual updates.
The solution
A focused web platform for running tournaments: public pages for draws, schedules, and standings, plus organiser tooling that keeps one source of truth from registration to final results.
Feature highlights
- Glicko-2 rating system with separate singles & doubles ladders and placement matches
- Tiered challenge system with rating-gap limits (±500 → ±350 → ±250)
- Match verification with proof uploads, moderator review, and dispute resolution
- Prize-pool tournaments — 75% payout to winners + permanent achievement badges
- Anti-farming rules and sanction system with full audit logs
Outcome
Tournament data is maintained once and published everywhere it is needed — draws, schedules, and standings stay consistent without duplicate manual updates. Players challenge opponents, submit verified matches, and climb a Glicko-2 ratings ladder, while admin-run tournaments with real prize pools keep the competition serious.
