## Highlights

- **100% offline**: No wifi in the gym? No problem.
- **Two categories at once**: Men’s and women’s doubles on the same courts.
- **Display screen**: A second screen for players and the audience.
- **Everything can be undone**: Every action is recorded and reversible.

## From entries to the podium, one tool.

OpenShuttle follows how a club tournament really runs. Each screen is a step, and the control desk always knows what comes next.

### Prepare (before)

- Entries by pair, CSV import and export
- Free format: pools, brackets, consolation, full standings
- Presets reused from one tournament to the next

### Play (on the day)

- One-click check-in, bib numbers handed out on arrival
- Draw with seeds, club mates kept apart in pools
- Schedule, match calls, scores, rest times

### Wrap up (after)

- Live pool standings and brackets
- Full final standings, place by place
- Results export and tournament archive

## Know when everyone plays.

OpenShuttle forecasts every match, court by court, taking rest times into account. Reorder the rounds by drag and drop: the forecast updates before your eyes.

- Estimated end time of the day
- Warning when a player has not had their rest
- Courts shared or reserved per category

## Players know where to go, no microphone needed.

Plug in a projector or a TV: the called match shows in very large type with its court, the courts in play right beside it, and the standings rotate. Readable from ten metres.

## Built for a busy volunteer, in a gym.

- **A forfeit?** Declare it in two clicks: the remaining matches become walkovers and the standings follow.
- **A forgotten score?** The court goes on right away, the score waits in the pending scores list.
- **A typo?** Undo the last action, or correct a score from the history.
- **A power cut?** Every action is written to disk, with an automatic backup copy.

## Your data stays with you

No account, no cloud, no ads. A tournament is a file on your computer, which you keep, copy or archive as you like.

## Free and open
