How it works

From check-in through bracket finals—one system for directors, players, and spectators.

Register & organize

Directors create the event, define pools and bracket structure, and teams register on-site via QR codes—building rosters without paper forms or manual spreadsheet entry.

Pool play & standings

Round-robin pool matches feed live standings as scores are entered. Directors see who advances and how seeding will resolve before bracket play begins.

Brackets & finals

Pool results seed single- or double-elimination brackets. Match outcomes propagate automatically so directors, players, and spectators always see the current bracket state.

On the field

In the platform

Core capabilities for running guts frisbee tournaments in the field.

QR team registration

Teams scan a code at check-in to join the event roster—fast onboarding for large guts fields without a separate registration desk.

Live pool standings

Win–loss records and tie-break logic update as pool matches are scored, giving directors an accurate picture before bracket seeding.

Director scoring

Purpose-built match entry for pool and elimination rounds, designed for the pace of guts tournament operations on the field.

Bracket seeding

NCAA-style placement from pool results into elimination brackets—single or double elimination—without manual bracket drawing.

Spectator views

Public-facing standings and brackets so players, coaches, and fans can follow the event without asking the tournament desk.

Web-based access

Runs in the browser—no app install required for directors or spectators at the venue.
