Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m the creator of ATA (AI Tournament Assistant).
After organizing mind and strategy game tournaments for years, I realized how chaotic the admin table gets. Manually calculating Swiss system tie-breaks, dealing with players crowding around paper brackets, and trying to chase down referees for match results took all the fun out of the event.
I couldn't find a mobile-first solution, so I decided to build ATA from scratch. Here is what it brings to the table:
🧠 Automated Matchmaking: Handles mathematically precise Swiss system pairings and complex tie-breaks (like Buchholz metrics) instantly in the cloud.
📱 Live Tracking: Players and spectators can follow the live bracket and standings from their own phones in real-time.
⚖️ Referee Delegation: Assign specific tables to referees so they can input scores directly via the app.
📊 Instant PDF Reports: Generate professional final standings and brackets with just one click.
🌍 Global & Native: Built natively for iOS and Android, currently supporting 17 languages.
I would absolutely love your brutally honest feedback on the UI/UX. What specific tournament formats or features should I add next?
I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions! Cheers! 🚀

Nice focus on mobile-first for organizers, that part feels genuinely useful. One thing that would level it up for me personally is letting players see their own pairings, standings, and live notifications from a separate app view. Right now it sounds like everything is gated behind organizer access. If a player just had a read-only public link or simple companion app tied to each tournament, it would cut down on a ton of last-minute questions and keep everyone locked in. Would love to see that added in a future update.

@nihat2sng Thank you so much, Nihat! The best part is: we actually already have this! 🚀 Once an organizer creates the event, ATA generates a unique, read-only live webpage link. Players can just open it on their phone browsers to check their table numbers, pairings, and live standings without downloading the arbiter app. But you make a great point—we definitely need to make this "live web link" feature more visible in our marketing!

Pairings actually generated in seconds during the first round, which saved me a ton of stress before the time control kicked in. The referee handoff feature is a nice touch, though I'd love to see bracket printing get a bit more polish.

@zhitay55026 Thank you, Zümra! Hearing that the referee handoff works smoothly in a real environment is awesome. And point taken on the bracket printing—we are already working on giving the PDF exports a more polished and professional design in the upcoming updates!

This looks like a real lifesaver for organizers. One thing I'd love to see is letting players self-check in through a QR code at the venue, so the TO doesn't have to manually verify each arrival when things get hectic at the start of a round.

@etincatalkmrx That is a brilliant idea, Çetin! QR code self-check-ins would completely eliminate that Round 1 chaos at the arbiter's desk. I am adding this straight to our development roadmap right now. Thanks for the amazing feedback!

Honestly the swiss pairing just works without me double checking every round, which is kind of a miracle for tournament apps. Saved me a solid hour last weekend.

@ayakkab_c11661 Thank you so much! Managing the real-world chaos of tournaments and saving arbiters' time instead of just building a generic bracket tool is exactly why we built ATA. Glad to see it works!

Finally something built for the chaos of running a real tournament, not just another generic bracket maker.
