Your game,
with extra sauce

CourtSauce Competitions runs a club's whole year — the weekend tournaments and the season-long leagues, on one platform. Nobody has to install anything. Nobody has to make an account.

Your first tournament and your first league are both free. Entry fees are charged on your own Stripe account.

A club on a summer evening: several courts in play under lights — full-size courts in the foreground, a cluster of smaller courts beyond — with spectators packed along the fence, event tents at the far end and the clubhouse lit behind.

01The platform

A weekend, or a season.

Competitions is one platform with two formats in it. Same organisation, same members and permissions, same money rail, same emails, same discovery — the vocabulary and the chrome follow the format you picked. A tournament registers players; a league enrols them, and the product knows the difference.

A weekend

Tournaments

A single bounded event. It has a start, an end, and a champion.

Formats

Single elimination · double elimination (two modes) · round robin · round-robin scramble · pool play into a bracket

What it costs

A one-off fee when you publish. Your first tournament is free.

A season

Leagues

A season of cycles or weeks. Standings that move, a box you climb, a team you belong to.

Formats

Box ladder · box-ladder scramble · team leagues with a draft · round robin · round-robin scramble

What it costs

One monthly subscription for your organisation, however many leagues you run. Your first league is free.

Round robin and round-robin scramble genuinely run in both — a club that does not want a ladder can still run a league.

02Open by default

Nobody installs anything.
Nobody makes an account.

Four people turn up to a club event, and every one of them reaches exactly what they need over the open web, on whatever device is in the room.

A player
Enrols or registers, pays, checks in, sees their matches, subscribes a calendar that keeps updating, and gets their results — all on token links from their email.
A volunteer
Scores one match from a link that authorises exactly that match and nothing else. Revocable, expiring, and no sign-in. Or they scan the QR on the printed sheet.
A captain
Gets asked, decides, and only then is offered a way in. Captaining a team is a weekly job, so accepting hands over to a proper account rather than a link to re-find every Sunday.
A spectator
Opens the live dashboard and watches courts update as scores land. No sign-in, no wall. In the venue, the same job runs on a screen on the wall.

Making an account upgrades the experience. It is never the gate.

03For players

Built for the person who just wants to play.

Most people arriving at a club event want to know one thing: where and when am I playing. Everything here answers that, and none of it asks you to sign up first.

The whole way through, on a link

Enrol or register, pay, check in, see your matches with the court and the time, get a five-minute call by email or text, and pick up your results. In a league, your box and the people in it, phone-first.

Your season, remembered

In a league, your box and your standing across every cycle of the season — with the movement named for what it is: “moved up to Box 2”. In a tournament, your placement, in your own history.

One place for everything you're in

Every competition you play in, and every one you help run, in a single view: what needs your attention, what is next, and a calendar you subscribe once and forget.

A league's public page has nowhere to put a ranking. Not by policy — the page's data carries no position, no win-loss and no point differential, and a test holds it there. No neighbour finds out you finished last in your box.

The same posture runs through the rest of it. Court bands in a team league are factual tiers — Court 4 plays its equals, it is not the B team. Availability is yours to set and yours to take back, and it records who marked it, so nobody is quietly left out. Partner finding shows a logged-out visitor a count and never a name.

04The whole event

Registration to results,
without a second tool.

Set-up is scaffolded, not instant.

Publishing takes more than a couple of screens, and a season needs you back at the end of every cycle to close it and approve the movement. We are not going to pretend otherwise — that approval step is the point.

Readiness checklist
Runs the same checks the publish route enforces, so it can never tell you you're ready while the route refuses.
Templates
Per-sport division templates for a tournament; structural presets for a league division.
Save the whole thing
Next year's edition, or next season, starts from this one — configuration only, never last season's players.

05Pricing

First one free, either format.

Publish a tournament

$64.99 CAD / published tournament

Your first tournament is free.

  • Charged when you publish, not while you plan.

Run leagues

$64.99 CAD / month

Your first league is free.

  • One subscription for your organisation, however many leagues you run.

On a paid entry

3.7% + $1.79 CAD per transaction

Only on money we process.

  • Cash and e-transfers you record yourself are commission-free.

Entry fees are charged on your own connected Stripe account, so they are your revenue and a refund debits you — not a platform float you have to chase. Cash and e-transfers are tracked separately from card money, and the two are never flattened together.

06The apps

And the apps you already carry.

Three scoring apps for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch — pickleball, tennis and squash. Free, no account needed, and your casual matches stay yours.

They score the match in front of you and keep it yours. Casual matches sync through your own iCloud account, not our servers. Link them to CourtSauce and your official matches score straight into your competition. A competition's live scores are still followed on the competition's own page, over the web, by anyone with the link.

07Why CourtSauce

Clubs run most of the events that actually happen.

And they run them on software built for federations a decade or more ago: desktop-only, not responsive, juggled alongside a spreadsheet and a group chat. The one incumbent with real ladder heritage still ships it as Windows software. Competitions is built for the person who books the courts, chases the entries, and stands at the desk on Saturday morning — and who is back on Tuesday night for the league.

We are not sanctioned by a federation or a tour, and we are not trying to be. Club-run events are the whole point.
