Improved

Registering for a tournament without a partner used to mean scrolling a list and hoping. Now WeCourts matches you.

  • Smart Partner Match — the tournament page now previews your best fits ("5 great fits found for you") before you even open the list.

  • Four ways to browse: Best match (ranked by tournament eligibility, competitiveness, side compatibility, and availability), Looking now (players actively searching, with one-tap WhatsApp), Strength (the strongest legal pairings for the team cap), and Unrated (see below).

  • Unrated players, finally visible. Players without a rating who've proven themselves on court now appear with a transparent track record — win counts per level (e.g. C ×12 · C+ ×5) relative to your level. Great players without a rating stop being invisible; partner one and help them earn their first rating.

  • Beyond your circle. Suggestions now reach into your wider network — with an introduction that tells you why: "Plays at [your club]", "Knows [mutual player]", "In [your community]".

  • Add yourself in seconds. "Add me to looking for partner" now lives right in the sheet, with a personal message so the right players reach out.


Improved

  • Local matches only — suggestions are filtered to players actually active in the tournament's country.

  • Fairer rankings in women's-concession events — strong players who bring a team well under the cap are now ranked by their real strength.

  • Smarter invites — the WhatsApp invite message is pre-written with the tournament details and your combined team level, ready to send.

  • Privacy by design — direct WhatsApp contact opens only for players who opted in by listing themselves as looking for a partner. Nobody else's number is ever shown.

  • Fully redesigned mobile experience — full-screen sheet, keyboard-safe forms, swipe to close.

Running an Americano night used to mean a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, and a lot of hoping the pairings worked out. Not anymore.

We rebuilt Americano on WeCourts to run the whole night — fair draws and constraint-aware scheduling, tap-to-edit pairings, smart WhatsApp messages, live scoring, a big-screen TV view, posters, and SOS for when things change. Here's everything that's now live.

Here's everything that's now live.

Fair, repeat-free draws — automatically

Everyone partners with everyone (4–32+ players), byes handed out fairly for odd counts, capacity flagged up front.

Smart scheduling that respects how people actually play

No two lefties stuck together, court-side preferences honored, mixed-night balancing, variety maximized. No traits? Still works on proven rotation.

Players tell us how they play

On registration we ask for the three things that matter for pairing — side of play, playing hand, gender — captured once, reused everywhere.

Put it on the big screen

Live TV view: 4-player court cards, live standings, auto-rotating highlights.

Print it out

Check-in lists, per-round scoring sheets, rounds overview.

Seed your top players

Spread them apart or Cluster them into marquee matchups.

Review Draw — see problems before they happen

Instant health check flagging bad pairings, repeats, missing traits, seeding misses, and capacity.

Avoid Drama Situations

Edit pairings by tapping

Tap two players to swap across rounds; re-validates instantly.

Live scoring built for individual play

Side points, draws allowed, single clean leaderboard, round progress pills.

Share the draw with a smart WhatsApp message

One tap copies the full draw — with L / R side and a LEFTI flag inline per player, so the group chat instantly reads the matchups.

Link your WhatsApp group — we send the updates

Connect the group, WeCourts posts updates for you.

Stunning share images for the draw & schedule

Branded draw, roster, and order-of-play graphics.

No poster? We'll make one

Last-minute and mid-event changes? SOS has your back

Drop-outs, no-shows, live fixes — void, set scores, forfeit, or swap, draw stays intact.

Meet Ace — your Americano co-organizer

Knows the setup workflow and sees the live event — leaderboard, round progress, results. Ask in plain language.

…and much more.

Coming next: Mixed Americano, Team Americano, and King of the Court Americano.

ACE is the AI agent built into WeCourts. It reads your live tournament data and answers in plain language — and now it doesn't just explain things, it takes you straight to the right tool.

Ask ACE anything about your event

  • "Who qualifies from Group B if the last match is a draw?"

  • "Is my knockout bracket seeded correctly?"

  • "What does each team need to reach the final?"

Now it guides you to the action — one tap

Ask "how do I add a registration deadline?" or "I need to replace a player" and ACE points you to the exact feature and opens it for you — registration settings, imports, results submission, and every SOS last-minute change (change a player, add/replace a team, swap matches, fix the draw) without hunting through menus.

It helps before the event, too

Recommends the right format for your teams, courts and time; builds a tournament from a poster or a pasted WhatsApp message; turns a sign-up list into teams.

One AI agent, one voice, across setup → registration → live scoring → results.

Look for the ACE mark on your tournament — bottom-right. Ask it something.

Improved

Setting up a Group Stage + Knockout tournament no longer means knowing the exact format you want. Now you just describe it, and AI builds the draw for you.

Open the format step, tap Describe it, and type how you want your event to run — in plain words.

Try things like:

  • "Everyone plays at least 4 matches"

  • "Top 2 from each group into the quarter-finals"

  • "Smaller group plays a pre-quarters round"

What it does:

  • 🧠 Reads your request and ranks the best formats for your exact number of teams — and shows why each one fits, with a confidence level.

  • 🎯 Never invents a broken bracket. It only ever suggests formats that are genuinely valid for your team count.

  • 💬 Asks one quick question when your request is ambiguous, with tappable answers — then sets it up.

  • 🛠️ Want full control? It finds the closest format and you fine-tune the rest in the editor.

Built for the best player experience.

It understands the mechanics that actually make an event great: Direct Advance · MGG (Minimum Games Guarantee) · Play-off Matches · Pre-Quarters · Byes · Best Thirds — and more.

We've also made the example prompts smart to your tournament size — an 8-team event suggests semi-finals, a 24-team event suggests a round of 16 — so the guidance always fits what you're actually building.

Describe what you want. Get the best player experience. Play.

Available now for all organizers in tournament setup.

Decide exactly what plays on the big screen, and change it on every TV in seconds — without ever walking over to the screens.

Your TV, your rules — now controllable from anywhere

When you put a tournament on the big screen, you no longer have to take whatever the board decides to show. From Scoring → Settings → WeCourts TV, you now control what appears on screen:

  • 🔄 Turn off auto-rotation — keep the board fixed on the main screen (live standings or bracket) instead of cycling through pages. Flip it back on anytime.

  • ⭐ Hide the Player Spotlight — drop the rotating "players to challenge" cards if you'd rather keep the focus on the action.

  • 🏆 Hide Upset Stories — turn off the celebratory upset cards.

  • 📊 Hide the Bracket Projection — remove the projected-knockout preview during the group stage.

Everything stays on by default, so nothing changes for your existing events until you decide to adjust it.

The best part: it's live

Make a change on your phone and every screen updates within seconds — no refreshing, no logging into each TV, no running around the venue. Set up your screens once, then run the whole board from your hand.

How it works: each screen quietly checks for changes a couple of times a second using a tiny, lightweight signal — so your updates land almost instantly without slowing the board down or hammering the network.

Organizers can now run tournaments with unlimited registrations.

If no capacity is set, the tournament will stay open with no player cap and no waitlist. This is useful for larger events, open signups, academies, communities, and tournaments where you do not want registration to stop at a fixed number.

If you still want a cap, just set a specific capacity as before. For example, setting capacity to 16 will keep the normal limit and waitlist flow.

Important: tournaments that did not previously have a capacity set are now treated as unlimited by default.

In short:

  • Empty capacity = unlimited registrations

  • No waitlist for unlimited tournaments

  • Set a number when you want a fixed cap

  • Existing capped tournaments continue working normally

Improved

Your group stage just became must-watch TV.

WeCourts TV now reads your tournament while groups are still being played and shows the knockout bracket forming in real time — plus exactly what every team needs from the match in front of them.

What's new:

🪜 Live projected bracket — the knockout draw assembles itself on screen from current standings, before groups even finish. It's the real seeding engine, so what you see is exactly what the system will lock in.

🎯 "What they need" on every team — the standings now spell out the stakes: "Win 6-4+ to go through", "Out if either team wins big", "In if it stays close."

Both players flip, 3 outcomes (+1 hostage), best-3rd race.

🔥 AT RISK / HAS CHANCE chips — instantly see who's clinging to a spot and who's about to steal one.

Both players flip, winner-in / loser-out, 3 outcomes

⚔️ Decider detection — when a single live match controls another group's fate (the best-3rd race), WeCourts TV knows, and lights it up.

Margin decides one watcher + bracket + best-3rd

⭐ Player Spotlight + auto-rotation — Standings, Bracket, and Spotlight rotate on their own, or tap to jump between them on any device.

All available on tournament page on wecourts and also on mobile app

How to use it: Open your tournament's /tv/:code link, cast it to the venue screen, and let it run. Works on the big screen, your laptop, and players' phones.

Available now on all groups + knockout tournaments. No setup required.

Posting your registration list to WhatsApp and ending up with five "Mohammad"s? Fixed.

The Share & Copy dialog now has an "Add last-name initial" toggle. Flip it on and every player gets a compact initial after their first name, so similar names stay apart at a glance.

What's new:

🔤 One-tap last-name initials"Sami" becomes "Sami AlS." across the whole list.

🌍 Arabic-awareAl-SayyedAlS., Al-MansooriAlM. They stay distinct instead of both becoming a meaningless "A.".

🧠 Auto-disambiguation — teammates with the same first name are split automatically ("Mohammad A. & Mohammad K."), toggle or not.

✨ Cleaner formatting — teammate separator is now a crisp /.

Before:

🎾 Jasha & Ali
🎾 Javier & Javier 

After:

🎾 Jasha S  /  Ali AlS
🎾 Javier M  /  Javier R

Open Share & Copy → Copy Full Info, tick Add last-name initial. Off by default.

TL;DR: Match History now shows a complete visual story of your WPPR. Every match, every projection, every category boundary.

What's new:

📊 Match-by-match chart of your current rating cycle — wins, losses, eligibility, all on one screen

🎯 Projected next rating — see where your WPPR is heading before the cycle closes

👀 Tap any match for the full breakdown: partner, opponents, score, rating impact

Transparency by default — every match clearly marked as counted or unrated, no black box

🌍 Country-aware — letter bands (D–, C, C+, B–…) follow your country's WPPR scheme

📱 Premium mobile UX — swipe through your history; the centered match auto-selects with a fish-eye focus. No tapping, just flow.

Where to find it: Your player profile → Match History tab

Why we built it: Your WPPR shouldn't be a number that just appears. You should see how every match shapes it and where you're heading next.
