Create a tournament

Build it right on the bracket: name the cup, type teams into the spots, or leave spots open. Whoever opens the link fills an open spot with their own team, even a team of one.

How it works

Name it

A name and a clock. Add teams now if you like: Sales vs Dev, Kids vs Parents. Or leave it to the people who join.

Post one link

WhatsApp, Slack, the class group. Whoever opens it types their name and taps a team, or starts their own in one tap.

Play it out to the final

You start the cup. Each round, the teams play their games, and the winners move on in the bracket until one team wins the final.

Why it works

Nobody has to be good at chess

The team votes on each move. A beginner's vote counts the same as anyone's, and they learn from what the team picks.

Anywhere, any device

It runs in the browser, on a laptop or a phone. No install, no account.

Teams and players together

A team can face one strong player: the team votes, the player plays alone, on the same clock.

It keeps going

A tournament runs for an evening or for days: every round gives the group something to talk about.
