Start with your event operating model
Tournament tools fail when organizers choose by screenshots instead of flow ownership. Clarify who enters scores, who resolves disputes, and who publishes updates before comparing products.

- Map score-entry ownership court by court.
- Define one dispute escalation path before event day.
- Confirm which role publishes standings and announcements.
