Frequently asked questions

Yes. Live Tourneys generates a complete, conflict-free tournament schedule — both bracket and pool play — from your courts, divisions, dates, and rules in seconds. It is a constraint-aware scheduler, not a template: it solves the whole event at once so the clashes that ruin a Saturday are caught before anyone leaves home.

Yes. Multi-team coach conflicts are a first-class constraint. If one coach runs two teams, the scheduler will never place both teams' games at the same time, and it honors the same rule across divisions.

Yes. The same solver that clears conflicts also optimizes the schedule so your booked court-hours hold more games at high utilization — which means the same gym can host a bigger field. More teams on the same venue bill means more entry-fee revenue and more profit for the organizer. When constraints change, it re-optimizes the schedule rather than adding waste.

Yes. Live Tourneys builds pool play and single- or double-elimination brackets, enforces minimum rest between games, meets each team's game guarantee automatically, and honors court and time-of-day preferences wherever they fit. When constraints can't all be satisfied, it flags exactly what's infeasible instead of quietly producing a broken schedule.

Yes. Every event has a public, shareable page with live brackets, real-time scores, and standings that update automatically as games finish and winners advance. No app download is required to follow along.

Yes. The public event page works in any browser — parents, fans, and college coaches can follow live scores, brackets, and standings from a single link. Every final can also generate a shareable scoreboard graphic.

You share one registration link. Teams pick their division, fill out your custom form, and pay online — the money lands in your account and the event fills in real time, with overdue balances flagged rather than buried.

Yes. Online registration supports division and age/gender forms, waiver collection, a waitlist for when divisions fill, and refunds — the operational pieces a real tournament needs, not just a payment button.

Yes. Live Tourneys is built to work on top of what you run today and can import from Exposure Events, so you don't have to rebuild an event from scratch to try it.

Pricing is public and self-serve. Pay-as-you-go is free to start with no subscription — your first 5 teams are free, then $2 per team you schedule. Or go flat-rate for unlimited teams and brackets: Pro is $50/month ($500/year) and All-Pro is $200/month ($2,000/year), each with the first month free. The constraint-aware scheduler is included on every plan.

Yes. Live Tourneys is built for youth, AAU, and grassroots basketball — the divisions, age/gender brackets, pool play, multi-court venues, and game guarantees those events run on. Organizers host the event; club directors showcase their program and keep families in the loop.

Live Tourneys is basketball-native today: divisions, pools, brackets, and court time are modeled the way basketball tournaments actually run, rather than a generic form-builder with scheduling bolted on.
