Built for the people running the day
Local organizers and competition staff — not enterprise sports operators.
Regional federations and associations
Manage singles, doubles, and mixed events across multiple age groups in one tournament, with consistent group standings and clean playoff brackets.
Head referees and competition managers
Order of play, court assignments, and match results in a single screen — without juggling printouts and group chats.
Run a tournament from setup to final
Everything you need for a real event, in one desktop app.
Tournaments and events
Create a tournament, set the venue and dates, then add events like MS, WS, MD, WD, or XD with their own age limits and entry rules.
Players and registrations
Import players from CSV or add them manually. Accept registrations one by one; singles teams are created automatically.
Round-robin groups with auto standings
Generate groups, place teams automatically, and watch standings update as results come in — wins, sets, points, and tie-breaks recalculated on the fly.
Playoff brackets with automatic draw
Generate the bracket and let the draw place seeds in the correct slots, resolve seed ranges, and fill remaining spots in random order.
Schedule on courts
Drag matches into court slots or auto-schedule unscheduled matches. Conflict checks flag clashing player assignments before they hit a court.
Results and live progression
Enter set scores as matches finish. Winners advance through the bracket automatically; group tables recalculate after every result.
One-click public publishing
Every tournament gets a permanent public URL. Click Publish to push the current snapshot — schedule, brackets, standings, and results — for players, coaches, and spectators.
PDF and CSV export
Export order of play, group tables, and playoff brackets to PDF. Pull player and match data to CSV for archives and federation reporting.
Four steps from idea to final
A typical tournament from creation to a public results page.

Every tournament gets a public page
When you create a tournament, it gets a permanent public URL. Share it with players, coaches, and spectators the moment registration opens — even before the first publish, the page shows that the tournament is on the way.
Click Publish whenever you want the page to reflect the current state — draws, schedule, live standings, and final results. The page is read-only, fast, and works on any device.

Questions, answered
What is Tabminton?
Tabminton is a free desktop application for managing badminton tournaments end to end. It handles registrations, round-robin groups, playoff brackets, court scheduling, match results, and one-click publishing of a public tournament page.
Is Tabminton free?
Yes. The desktop app is free, and so is the public tournament page that we host for every tournament you create. A branded hub on your own custom domain is available as a paid subscription — contact hello@tabminton.com.
Which operating systems are supported?
macOS and Windows. Linux is not supported in the current version.
Can I run a round-robin and a playoff in the same tournament?
Yes. A tournament can have multiple events, and each event can have one or more rounds. Round-robin groups followed by a playoff bracket is the typical setup.
Does it work offline during the tournament?
Yes. Tabminton runs locally. You only need an internet connection when you click Publish to push the public snapshot.
Can I import players from CSV?
Yes. You can also add players manually. Accepted singles registrations create singles teams automatically; doubles and mixed doubles teams are created by picking the two players, or a player can register as Partner Wanted and be paired later.
Does it support doubles and mixed doubles?
Yes — Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles are all supported.
How do players see the schedule and results?
Every tournament gets a permanent public URL. After you click Publish, players, coaches, and spectators see the current schedule, draws, standings, and results on any device.
How do I contact the team?
Email hello@tabminton.com. We read every message.
