Tournament scheduler — round robin, brackets & court planning

No. It places matches deterministically in draw-round order, choosing the earliest available court under the declared reservations. It checks the resulting schedule independently of that placement logic. If a match remains unplaced, another arrangement may still fit. Court-capacity and participant-path lower bounds are reported separately; a window shorter than a necessary bound is a genuine constraint failure.

The entrant list becomes seed order and is placed in a power-of-two bracket. Empty seed positions create byes that advance without a court or a result. Future matches reserve every possible entrant from the incoming branches, so the plan stays safe whichever entrant wins. Results reveal actual names without silently shortening those reservations. Enter preceding winners before scoring the next match.

You may list explicit roster identities using Team | Player one, Player two. Equal identities are compared ignoring case and Unicode normalization; distinct spellings are not guessed to be the same person. A shared person on opposing sides makes that fixture unsafe. In elimination, even a possible future opposition is flagged because the draw cannot be guaranteed playable for all winners. Fix the rosters or entrant setup before using the plan.

Changing or clearing a result clears all dependent results so an old winner cannot remain in a later round. Changing a manual slot affects only that reservation, and the checker reports any court, participant, rest, window or dependency conflict. It does not silently move other matches. You can restore the automatic slot, clear all manual slots, undo an applied change or reset the editor.

Round-robin standings award three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Equal points share rank; no score-difference, head-to-head or sport-specific tie-break is applied. Every match uses one duration and rest is an end-to-next-start gap. Times are continuous wall-clock offsets with Day +1 labels after midnight, without timezone, DST, court-closure or personal-availability handling.

The PDF embeds a subset of the bundled font; unsupported glyphs are rejected rather than silently replaced. CSV neutralizes possible formula prefixes; JSON preserves the original labels.
