Running roundnet tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Portable net assignments are a logistical puzzle
Roundnet tournaments use multiple portable nets across a field or park. Assigning pairs to nets, managing rotations, and communicating locations without a central system leads to confusion and delays.
Pool play with many pairs is tedious to manage
Roundnet events often have 20-40+ pairs in multiple pools. Calculating standings across pools with point differentials and head-to-head tiebreakers by hand is slow and error-prone.
Bracket seeding from pool results requires careful work
Moving pairs from pool play into a single-elimination bracket with correct seedings based on pool finishing position and cross-pool comparisons is complex to do manually.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up your roundnet tournament
Choose your format — pool play into bracket, round robin, or straight knockout. Set the number of available nets, points per game, and games per match.
Pairs register and pay online
Share a registration link. Pairs sign up with both player names, confirm participation, and pay the entry fee. Track registrations from your organiser dashboard.
Run the event with live updates
Enter scores as games finish. Pool standings, bracket seedings, and net assignments update automatically. Players check their next match and net location on their phones.
Formats
Every roundnet format, covered
Pool Play + Bracket
Pairs play round robin in pools, then advance to a single-elimination bracket based on finishing position. The standard roundnet tournament format used by Spikeball Roundnet Association events.
Round Robin
Every pair plays every other pair. Standings by wins, point differential, and head-to-head. Good for smaller local roundnet meetups and leagues.
Straight Knockout
Single-elimination bracket for quick events. Best-of-3 games per match with automatic seeding and bye allocation.
King of the Court
Rotating format where winning pairs stay on the net and challengers rotate in. Fun, fast-paced format for casual events and warm-up rounds.
