The operating system for your chess club. From club night to rated open.
Members, events, attendance and announcements for every week your club meets — plus Swiss, round-robin and knockout brackets, live standings, and one-click USCF & FIDE reports when you run a rated event.
If your club runs on a spreadsheet, a group text, and separate pairing software for the rated events — we built this for you.
How It Works
From your first club night to your first rated event
Set the club up once and run your weeks on it. When you hold a rated event, the same roster carries it — no re-keying, no formula sheet, no hand-built rating report.
Create Your Club
Sign up and set up your club in under 2 minutes. Add your members, or invite them and let them fill in their own details. No credit card required.
Run Your Week
Put club nights, lessons, and casual play on the calendar. Take RSVPs, record who showed up, and send announcements the whole club actually sees.
Run a Rated Event
Open registration, pair any format, post results, and let players watch live standings or the bracket — then export the USCF or FIDE report with one click.
Live standings
Standings that compute themselves
Results roll into live standings with the USCF tie-breaks — Modified Median, Solkoff, cumulative, Sonneborn-Berger — no formula sheet, no recount.
