Tools for bridge tournaments

Pay ahead.
Skip the line.

Enter your events and pay from home the week before — not in a queue at the door on Saturday morning. Online entry and payment for sectionals and regionals.

How it works

Three steps at home. None at the door.

The whole entry, done the week before from a phone or a laptop — so Saturday starts at the table, not in a line.

1

Enter

Pick your tournament and check off the events you're playing. Add a partner or a team, or note that you're looking for one.

2

Pay

Pay your card fees once, by card, from home. Your entry is confirmed and your seat is reserved the moment it clears.

3

Arrive

Once the field is seeded, your table lands in your app. Walk in, glance at your phone, and sit down — no queue, no cash, no scramble at the assignment board.

Every event on one entry

Open pairs, bracketed and side games, Swiss and knockout teams — a whole weekend's events selected and paid in a single pass.

A real headcount for the committee

Your tournament committee sees entries and fees add up in real time, instead of counting hands at 9 a.m. and hoping the cash box balances.

Payment that reconciles itself

Card payments are recorded against each entry, so the money and the movement match without a shoebox of receipts to sort out afterward.

Built for sectionals and regionals

Sized for the tournaments that still run on paper entry slips — the ones where the line at the door is the first event of the day.

Find your table

When the field's seeded, nobody should crowd the board.

The last queue of the morning is the one at the assignment sheet. Give players three ways to find their seat — use whichever fits your site.

In the app

Pushed to their phone

Players who entered online get their table sent straight to the Bridge Players Companion the moment you post the seeding — for every event they're in.

On the screen

A board that scrolls

Put a live display on a TV by the entrance, cycling through each event and its table assignments, so anyone can spot their seat on the way in.

At the desk

A friendly lookup

Seat a volunteer with a laptop to look players up by name — the easy fallback for anyone who'd rather just ask on their way through the door.

Why pre-registration wins

The morning line is nobody's favourite event.

Paper entry on the day means a queue for players, a cash crush for the committee, and a slow start for everyone. Move it online and the whole Saturday morning changes.

The paper entry slip
Handwritten, re-keyed, and easy to lose in the pile.

Players walk to the table. The committee runs the tournament. The line stays home.

Early access

Running a sectional or regional?

Online entry is the first tournament tool in build now, from the same workshop as the Bridge Players Companion. Tournaments that come in early help shape it — and run their next event without the line.
