Standalone tournament tracker

Track any tournament with TCB

Tournament mode is a standalone tracker for any online or in-person competition, including esports, community events and real sporting events. It organises entrants, formats and results; it does not run the matches or connect to another TCB mode.

What Tournament mode does

1

Organises entrants using brackets, round robins, leaderboards or ladders.

2

Tracks progress and results without deciding what activity participants compete in.

3

Works independently for online events, local clubs and real sporting competitions.

Use it for any kind of tournament

Tournament mode does not assume a particular game, sport or activity.

  • Online competitions and esports events.
  • Local clubs, tabletop events and community contests.
  • Real sporting events, races and school competitions.

A tracker, not a match host

TCB records the event structure and outcomes. The actual competition happens wherever the organiser chooses.

  • No match or activity is launched from Tournament mode.
  • Results and scores are entered into the tracker by authorised participants or organisers.
  • Tournament data remains separate from every other TCB mode.

Running a public event

Use your normal venue, stream or event tools for the audience while TCB tracks the competition.

  • Publish schedules and event rules before the first round.
  • Keep result-entry responsibility with the organiser or authorised participants.
  • Share final standings after the event finishes.

Set up a tournament tracker

The tracker handles event structure and results while you run the competition wherever it takes place.

  1. Choose the event format

    Select the structure that fits your event, such as elimination, round robin, leaderboard or ladder play.

  2. Define your event rules

    Write down how the competition works, how results are decided and how ties or disputes are handled. These rules are independent of the tracker.

  3. Add and organise entrants

    Add up to 64 entrants and arrange them by seeding, ranking, random draw or your own event order.

  4. Run the competition

    Hold each match, race, fixture or activity online or in person. TCB does not run the competition itself.

  5. Record and publish results

    Enter results as the event progresses, advance the correct entrants and keep the final standings as the event record.
