Double Elimination Bracket
Knockout bracket with a losers' bracket — you're only out after two losses.
Best for: A fairer knockout when one bad match shouldn't end your day.

Competition Builds
Community.
We spent years hosting pickleball, tennis, and padel tournaments the old way — spreadsheets, group chats, and one very tired volunteer with a clipboard.
Schoolyard Social is the platform we wished existed: technology built to get you off your phone and onto the court, together.
Technology to get you OFF your phone.
Every feature we ship has to answer one question: does it get more people playing more games with more people they like? If the answer's no, we don't build it.
Four rules we play by.
Real courts over screens.
Software is a means to an end. The end is people showing up in person to compete.
Every club is different.
A country club isn't a public rec center isn't a pickup group. Our platform bends to fit; it never asks you to bend to it.
Rivalries make it fun.
Rankings, ladders, and hall-of-champions plaques aren't fluff — they're the reason people come back next Tuesday.
Build for the volunteer.
The person running your Tuesday night league is a hero. We build every workflow assuming they have 20 minutes, not 20 hours.
Let's get your club on the board.
Reach out and we'll spin up your demo portal today.
Game on. Your move.
Tell us a little about your club, and we’ll show you how the best competitive play technology in the world can work for you, with a custom demo portal built in your branding before we even meet.
