How it works

Describe it — AI builds it

Write a message like you would to a colleague. AI understands context, age limits, required roles and compliance. If something is missing — it asks.

What gets built

Not a draft. A complete tournament ready to publish.

Under the hood — all the power of Paideia Tournament Studio. Every block is a real production feature, not a mockup.

account_tree

Any format

AI picks the format by context — or you name it explicitly.

  • Pool play, single/double elimination
  • Swiss, ladder, KOTC, NCAA dual
  • Group stage → playoffs combinations
calendar_month

Schedule with no conflicts

Distributes blocks across courts and checks every overlap.

  • Team and referee overlap checks
  • Respects day length, warmup and gaps
  • Session blocks fitted to reserved time
