Real Swiss pairings, generated in one tap
This is what your tournament director screen looks like the moment you hit “Start round 1.” Board numbers, white/black assignment — all correct, all automatic.

8 players · 4 boards
No signup. Loads a sample roster so you can pair instantly.
How it works
From roster to live standings in three steps
The night-before panic of pairing 30 players by hand disappears. Create, pair, and enter results — pairings and standings recompute for every roster and every set of results.
Create and add players
Name the tournament, set the time control, then paste a roster of player names — no formatting required.
Generate Swiss pairings
One click produces correct round pairings with board numbers and white/black assignment. No hand-pairing round 2.
Enter results, see standings
Log win, draw, or loss per board. Standings recompute instantly with score and Buchholz tiebreak.

Why we built it
“I directed a 32-player club Swiss where round 2 pairing took 40 minutes and two people arguing over tiebreaks. We built Swiss so the pairing is one tap and the director can actually watch the games.”
The Swiss team — built for over-the-board club chess
