5 vs 5 Basketball Tournament (Classic Format)

The standard format requires precise playing time planning. Our integrated scheduling algorithm takes care of everything for you.

Recommended Structure

  • Group Phase: For 12 teams, create 3 pools of 4. TournaManager handles "byes" if a team is missing.
  • Time Management: Games are often played in running time. The software recalculates the estimated tournament end time with each score entered.
  • Qualification: Automatic transition to the knockout bracket at the end of the pools.

Explosive Format: 3x3 Basketball

Now an Olympic discipline, 3x3 is played at a frantic pace. Our software is perfect for managing these ultra-fast rotations.
