Frequently Asked Questions
Can TourneyScheduler handle multi-court basketball fieldhouses?
Yes! TourneyScheduler excels in multi-court fieldhouse environments. You can manage Courts 1 through 12 simultaneously, ensuring games run on synchronized time waves with zero court double-bookings.
How does the coach conflict prevention feature work for basketball?
If a club coach oversees multiple age groups (e.g. 15U and 17U), you can flag those teams. The scheduler guarantees their games are never scheduled at the same time, giving the coach time to walk between courts.
Can we display live tournament brackets on gym lobby monitors?
Yes! TourneyScheduler includes a dedicated Live Jumbotron presentation mode designed specifically for 1080p and 4K smart TVs. It rotates through active matches, court assignments, and live bracket standings.
Is it free to schedule an 8-team basketball tournament?
Yes! Full scheduling, bracket generation, mobile live scores, and PDF exports are completely free for up to 8 teams with no credit card required.
