How do you currently organize amateur sports tournaments?

We re launching MECCI soon, a platform to create, manage and join sports tournaments.

Before launch day, I d love to hear from people who organize padel, tennis, pickleball, ping pong, football or local club tournaments:

How do you currently manage brackets, participants, results and standings?

Spreadsheets? WhatsApp groups? Paper sheets? Existing apps? A mix of everything?

What’s your favorite tournament format: knockout, league, Swiss or king of the court?

We re building MECCI around different tournament formats: knockouts, championships, Swiss tournaments and American-style tournaments like king of the court.

Each format creates a very different experience.

Knockouts are simple and exciting, but players can be eliminated quickly.
Leagues are fairer, but require more time.
Swiss formats work well when you want balanced matchups.
King of the court is great for fast, social and dynamic sessions.

For people who play or organize amateur sports tournaments: which format do you prefer, and why?

We built MECCI because local tournaments still run on spreadsheets and group chats

A lot of local sports tournaments are still managed with spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, screenshots and manual updates.

That works for small events, but it quickly becomes messy when you need to manage players, matches, results, standings and different tournament formats.

MECCI is launching on Product Hunt on July 1st.

The goal is simple: make it easier to organize, participate in and manage sports tournaments from one place.

MECCI - Run any tournament in minutes — Swiss, knockout & more

Swiss tournaments, knockouts, championships and American tournaments (king of the court). Organize, participate, manage. Simple, fast, professional. Create brackets in seconds, share a link with participants, let them self-register, enter scores on mobile — Mecci handles the rest automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual brackets, no confusion. Built for sports clubs, schools, padel leagues, chess circles, and anyone who organizes recurring competitions.
