Frequently Asked Questions
Does the software support the "If-Necessary" baseball championship game?
Yes! When using our Double Elimination format, the championship series automatically includes the conditional Game 15 ("If-Game"). If the undefeated team loses the first final, the second decider game triggers immediately.
Can I prevent teams from playing back-to-back games?
Yes. You can configure minimum rest windows (e.g. 60, 90, or 120 minutes) between games for each team. The scheduler automatically spaces games to ensure adequate recovery and warm-up time.
How does TourneyScheduler handle rain delays during baseball tournaments?
Our Delay & Ripple Tool lets directors apply a 30, 60, or 90-minute weather delay across specific diamonds or the entire complex. All subsequent matches ripple forward instantly with live notifications to the mobile website.
Can umpires or field scorekeepers update scores from their phones?
Yes! Field scorekeepers use a secure 4-digit PIN to enter final scores directly from the dugout, which immediately advances winners on the bracket and updates pool standings.
