Pétanque is a sport of conviviality but its management can quickly become complex, especially during the draws for additional competitions. TournaManager automates your entire organization, allowing you to focus on the terrain (and the snack bar).
1. Choosing the Game Format
Whether you're organizing a Doubles (2 vs 2) or Triplets (3 vs 3) tournament, the structure remains the same. Use our software to import your lists of players and instantly generate teams.
2. Managing the Competition System (A, B, C, D)
This is TournaManager's strength for pétanque. Unlike basic tools, we allow for the creation of multiple consolation brackets:
- Competition A: The main bracket for pool winners.
- Competition B: For runners-up or losers of the 1st round.
- Competitions C & D: So everyone plays the same number of games.
Everything is automatic: as soon as a score is entered, the team is sent to the correct bracket.
3. Planning of "Frames" (Fields)
Don't let players shout "Where are we playing?". Our intelligent scheduler assigns each game to a free frame.
Live Display: Launch the slideshow mode on a screen at the entrance of the pétanque court. Players see their names, their field and their score in real-time.
Simplified Smartphone Entry
The referee or the score table enters the final score (e.g., 13-7) in two seconds. Pool rankings update instantly for everyone.
