Partner and free agent sign-up

Teams of two register together, and players without a partner sign up as free agents for you to pair. Cap each division and keep a waitlist.

Sign-up and payment in one step

Teams register, sign the waiver and pay by card or in person. Set early and late prices with dates, add promo codes, and refund from the same screen.

Games on every board

Name your courts Board 1, Board 2 and so on. The schedule builder lays out games across boards and time slots, with byes when the numbers are odd.

Double elimination done for you

Seed single or double elimination brackets for any number of teams, byes included, and auto-assign every game to a board and time.

Scores at the boards

Players enter the score from their phone, game by game for best-of-three matches, or only admins can. The bracket moves winners on automatically.

A live page for everyone

Players and spectators open the tournament page without an account and see the schedule, standings and brackets update as scores come in.

How cornhole tournaments usually run

Most bar, brewery and fundraiser tournaments are doubles, either bring-your-own-partner or blind draw, where single players are paired up at check-in. Games are played to 21 with cancellation scoring, and double elimination is the favorite format because every team is guaranteed at least two games.

Bigger events add a few round robin games first, then seed the bracket from the results. Many also run separate competitive and social divisions so new players get a fair shot.

Formats you can run

Every format uses the same sign-up, payments and live page.

  • Straight double elimination, the classic cornhole bracket.
  • Single elimination for a quick night.
  • Round robin games first, then a bracket seeded from the standings.
  • A second-chance bracket: a custom bracket lets you choose which teams play in it.

Running the night

Every game has a board and a time, so teams know where to go without asking. Scores go in from the boards, winners move on in the bracket, and everyone watching the live page sees it happen.

Print the bracket for the wall if you like a paper copy too. When a game runs long, run auto-assign again and the games that haven't started shift to the next open board.

Setting up a tournament: checklist

  1. 1Create the tournament and add divisions, such as competitive and social.
  2. 2Set the entry fee per team or per player, plus early and late prices if you use them.
  3. 3Add your boards as courts, with the start time, game length and finish-by time.
  4. 4Open registration. Teams sign up together and free agents sign up on their own.
  5. 5Pair free agents into teams after sign-ups close.
  6. 6Build the bracket, or schedule round robin games first and seed the bracket from the standings.
  7. 7Choose who enters scores: players at the boards or admins only.
  8. 8Auto-assign games to boards and times, and share the live page.

Common questions

Can I run a blind draw?

Players can sign up as free agents and you pair them into teams before the first game. Sportsgrove doesn't draw partners at random for you.

Does it handle cancellation scoring?

Players keep score at the boards the usual way and enter each game's final score, like 21-14. Best-of-three matches are entered game by game.

How many boards do I need?

One set of boards for every two teams playing at once. With fewer boards, auto-assign spreads games over more time slots and tells you if they won't fit before your finish-by time.

Does Sportsgrove keep player stats?

Yes, on the Growth plan. Players can track bags in, bags on and four-baggers, entered with each game's score.
