The Tourney Companion official Beta is officially closed, thanks to all of the TOs across North America who participated!
We ran lots of awesome Smash Ultimate tournaments and received some great feedback. More news on whats next will come soon!
If you're in MD/VA, make sure to come out to Extra Credit and get those reps in before Super Nova!
They'll be using Tourney Companion for today's Singles bracket!
Extra Credit is TODAY at @XanaduGames!
Getting ready for supernova? We have you covered with brackets for both Smash Wii U AND Ultimate!
Ultimate will also be test running the @TourneyComp app!

We ran today’s @TheCaveFairfax bracket on @TourneyComp, was fun to actually get to compete using the app I’ve been building for so long
Not the greatest performance, but not too shabby for an old man
Special thanks to @TheCaveFairfax and @HoloTowa for running today’s tournament on Tourney Companion
Check out these recap photos you’ll be able to share/tweet after your run ends at an event!

That wraps up our trial events for this weekend. Thanks everyone who attended for trying out the app and giving really awesome, thoughtful feedback!
We've got some important stability and feature improvements to make and will be back with more events very soon!
Another announcement!
We'll be partnering up with @XanaduGames to run The Grind tournament this Friday, 7/19 on the Tourney Companion platform.
Make sure to register for The Grind if you'd like to try out TC!

Update: We now support the option for "Character First" counterpicking for tournament rulesets! Now we can officially support the @LumiRank recommended ruleset.
You can apply that ruleset to your events with one click by using the LumiRank Unified NA Ruleset template!
In some other exciting news, this Thursday, 7/18, we'll be running the 1st public tournament on Tourney Companion!
It will be with our good friends @TheCaveFairfax for their Ultimate Singles weekly tournament in Fairfax, VA.
Hoping to see some of you MD/VA Ult players there!
If you signed up for the beta but haven't heard from us yet, don't worry, we'll be continuing to reach out to folks over the next few weeks.
Also, if you haven't yet signed up for our beta but are interested, you can still sign up over at https://t.co/QzBCq4SSMn
Yesterday, we began reaching to some TOs that signed up for our beta program. To start, we reached out to fifty different organizers to start running tournaments on Tourney Companion in the next few weeks!
If you signed up for the beta, make sure to check your discord/email!
I know we've been quiet, but rest assured we're working super hard on some last mile items as we prepare for the closed Beta coming this Summer
We'll have some fun announcements coming very soon, get ready!
Heres what it looks like for TOs to setup their ruleset for a tournament
These rules will be automatically applied to the matches in your tournament, and they will be shown/enforced during strike/ban procedures
Here's to never having to ask "what's the stage list here?" again
If you have ANY questions at all about Tourney Companion, the best time to ask is right now via this AMA thread on reddit

Looking forward to fielding any questions you guys may have!
@Cherry_pfgc A little bit of both
TC is very much its own platform, with its own processing, data storage, account management, record keeping, etc.
However, we aren't in the business of building/maintaining brackets, so those will still be maintained on their host platforms (sgg, challonge)
Here is an example of what it looks like when a bracket match is called via Tourney Companion
Notifications go straight to player devices with all the info they need to start playing their matches!
Thank you so much for the overwhelming outpour of support! So many beta applicants already!
If you liked the announcement and want to learn more about how TC will aid tournaments for both players and TOs, check out the full ~25 minute presentation here:
