Getting started

Joining a tournament (players)

You don't need an account. When the organiser shares the event:

1. Scan the QR code (or open the join link) on your phone.
2. Enter your name — that's your whole sign-up. If it's a private event, you'll also enter the join code shown by the organiser. You can enter a join code in the Live Hub at any time — even while another tournament is on screen, use the "Looking for another tournament?" panel to switch events or type your code.
3. Play. When a round starts, check your court and partner on your phone, play your match, then tap in the score. The leaderboard updates instantly for everyone.

Creating a tournament (organisers)

1. Go to hermespadel.ozrazak.com and choose to create an event. You'll sign in with your Google account — only organisers need to sign in.
2. Name your event, then pick:
   • Format — Americano, Mexicano or King of the Hill.
   • Courts — how many you have (you can name them too).
   • Points per game — the total each match plays to (16 by default).
   • Public or private — private events get a join code.
3. Share the QR code or join link. Players appear on your list as they join.
4. Start the event and generate rounds. Hermes pairs everyone fairly, assigns courts, and rotates sit-outs if you have more players than spots. Generate rounds one at a time or several upfront.
5. Put it on the TV. Open TV mode on any big screen for live standings, the round timer and a scan-to-join code.

Wrapping up

When the last score is in, everyone gets a recap: final standings, per-player stats and fun awards for the night. Organisers can also export the results as a spreadsheet (CSV).
