Event formats

Every way facilities run organized play.

Pick a format, add your players, and CourtFlow handles scheduling, scoring, and standings the way that format actually works, not a one-size-fits-all bracket.

01
LadderPartnered or Singles
Winners move up a court, losers move down. Every round re-pools players by current standing, so everyone keeps landing in competitive games all session. No blowouts, no dead rounds.
Doubles or singles Optional playoff bracket
02
Mixer
Players get a new partner every round. Built for social play, where nobody's stuck with the same teammate all night. Priority players rotate out only when unavoidable.
