In early access
Put your courts on autopilot.
ShowCourt plans the rounds to fit your court time, puts every matchup on one courtside screen, and lets players post their own scores. Every event ends on time, and nobody has to stand there running it.

The usual night
Every organizer has run this night.
- 7:15 PM
Everyone comes to me to enter their scores. I'm a human scoreboard all night.
- 8:45 PM
I'm doing whiteboard math. Do we have time for one more round?
- 9:06 PM
The ladder ran over again, and the 9 o'clock rentals are standing there waiting.
- 9:10 PM
I organized the whole thing and never got to play.
Here's that same night on ShowCourt.
7:10 PMFirst serve
By first serve, the whole event is already planned.
You booked the courts from 7 to 9, and everyone RSVP'd from the link you posted in the group chat. Enter your hours, pick a format, and set the warm-up, round length, and rest. ShowCourt lays every round out on a timeline and tells you whether it fits your booking before anyone shows up.
Someone arrives late? Add them to the waiting queue and the rotation brings them in. A game runs long? The rest between rounds gives it room, and you can drop a round from your phone if the schedule gets tight.
The plan for a 7-to-9 booking: a 10-minute warm-up, then seven 13-minute rounds with 3 minutes of rest, finishing at 8:59.
7:40 PMBetween rounds
Everyone gets a meeting spot after their game.
Prop up a tablet you already own, and put the scoreboard on a TV if you have one. Players come off court, tap in their score at the tablet, watch the leaderboard move, and find their next court, all in one spot. If someone taps in the wrong score, you can fix it.
Players sitting out a round can follow along on their phones once they've signed in: who's on each court, the countdown, and every score as it comes in. It runs in the browser, so nobody has to download anything.
8:14 PMRound 5
Run your ladder however you want.
Before play starts, you decide what every court does when a round ends: winners up, losers down, everyone stays, or out to the waiting queue. After that, ShowCourt moves everyone for you, round after round. That covers up-and-down ladders, queue rotations, and whatever format your club invented.
Four courts: winners move up, losers move down, and the losers on court 4 swap out with the waiting queue.
Not a ladder club?
You can also run round robins, with an optional playoff at the end, or Mix and Match open play, where players rotate onto courts as games finish.
- Up-and-down ladders with a waiting queue
- Round robin, fixed or rotating partners
- Round robin with an optional playoff
- Mix and Match, with a “3 and you’re off” challenge court
8:46 PMFinal round
Done by 9, just like you planned.
7:12 AMThe next morning
A good night deserves a good recap.
By the next morning, every player's recap is waiting on their community home page: their record, the courts they moved through, and their best win. It gives everyone something to talk about until next week.
Every player gets their own recap: their record, their highest court, and their best win.
Keep tabs on rivals and favorite partners.

Why I built it
“I was juggling a handful of apps and sorting out refunds, and none of them let me set up my ladder the way each night needed. Then I’d spend the whole night entering scores and telling people where to go. I built ShowCourt so I could set the night up ahead of time and play in it with everyone else.”
