3 Generate pairs

Balanced doubles pairs, generated for you

One click builds pairs designed for competitive, enjoyable games rather than runaway mismatches. This is the step that saves organisers the most time.

You stay in control. Lock a pair you want to keep, swap a player, or block a pairing entirely - then regenerate around your choices.

Generated doubles pairs with player ratings and a combined pair rating for each pairing

4 Build groups

Spread the strong pairs across groups

ePegboard distributes seeded pairs so every group is balanced and competitive - the fiddly job most clubs currently do by hand on a whiteboard.

Seeded pairs spread evenly across balanced groups, each shown with its pair rating

5 Run it

Fixtures and handicaps, done automatically

Round-robin fixtures are generated for each group, with handicap starts (the +5, +3 you see beside each pair still to play) calculated and applied for you. Enter scores as games finish and the standings update live.

Group fixtures with handicap starts - some matches scored, others still to play showing their +5 / +3 head starts

6 Live standings

Standings update as the scores go in

Points, games won and point difference, live for the whole room. Everyone can see who is through and what is still to play, right up to the knockout rounds.

7 Knockout

Into the knockout, automatically

When the groups finish, ePegboard seeds the knockout from the standings and builds the bracket - semi-finals through to the final, handicaps still applied. Enter results and it crowns your winner.

Knockout bracket - semi-finals and final with scores, and the tournament winner crowned

Handicap doubles is our first tournament format - the one clubs ask for most. Singles and team-event formats are on the roadmap and coming next.

Handicaps you can trust

Handicaps are calculated from the same rating system that powers your club nights - so they reflect how players actually perform, and stay current as results come in.
