Players find their table in seconds, judges handle calls right at the table, and everyone runs on the same clock. Ruloo works alongside the official tournament software you already use.
Floor Map (beta) puts every pairing on a map of your venue by TOM table number. Search a table or a player to see who's there, whether they're still playing, and any extra time or penalty.
On the day: Staff only. Players never see it.

Your event, minus the chaos.
TOM still pairs rounds and records results. This is everything around it.
Step 1: Days before
Open preregistration
With Ruloo: One link for name, Player ID, deck list and entry fee.
Step 2: Doors open
Import and post the sign
Without Ruloo: A fresh printout every round.
With Ruloo: Live Sync is running and one QR sign is up for the day.
Step 3: Each round
Pairings land on phones as TOM pairs
Without Ruloo: Slips walked to the Head Judge.
With Ruloo: Calls and deck checks are logged where they happen.
Step 4: Between rounds
See who's clinched
With Ruloo: Standings and the Top Cut prediction (who's clinched, who's on the bubble) update with each import. In Standard events, result reports that disagree are flagged.
Step 5: Top Cut and after
Close it out
With Ruloo: Mark bracket winners as matches end, then export the penalty log. Event data deletes itself 14 days after the event (120 days for events with online payment) unless you keep it.
Already used at real events.
Using Ruloo not only makes my job as a TO or judge significantly easier, but its efficiency is noticed and is appreciated by my players. By having so many tools easily at my fingertips, many of the frequent tournament hiccups and headaches are either minimized or completely gone.
