The Problem: A Lack of Comprehensive Tournament Management Tools
Tournament organizers face a lot of challenges when it comes to creating and managing chess events. These include difficulties in tracking registrations, managing offline tournaments, and providing a seamless experience for participants and spectators. Fortunately, CircleChess Manager is here to revolutionize the chess tournament management landscape.
The Solution: CircleChess Manager
1. Dashboard
The CircleChess Manager dashboard provides tournament organizers with a bird’s eye view of the statistics related to their organized events. This includes crucial data such as Net Sales, Total Players, Today’s Added Players, Ongoing Tournaments, and Total Tournaments. Organizers can easily track the financial success of their tournaments, as well as the number of participants and new registrations for the day.
Two line charts are prominently featured on the dashboard, one detailing Net Sales and the other displaying the registration of players over time. These charts offer organizers a clear visual representation of the performance of their tournaments.
Furthermore, the dashboard includes a list of recently visited tournaments, ensuring that organizers have quick access to the events they are actively managing.

2. Creating Tournament
One of the standout features of CircleChess Manager is the ability to create tournaments – both online and offline.
Online Tournaments: For now, these tournaments are seamlessly integrated with Lichess, a popular online chess platform. To create online tournaments, organizers need to connect their CircleChess Manager account with their Lichess account. This integration ensures that creating online chess tournaments is a hassle-free experience. Very soon our users will be able to create these on CircleChess itself, enabling them to have a better experience.
Offline Tournaments: For Over-the-Board (OTB) tournaments, which take place at physical venues, organizers can effortlessly input all the required information. Offline tournaments are perfect for events that require participants to be physically present at a specific location.
3. Tournament Management
Tournament Management is where CircleChess Manager truly shines, providing organizers with the tools they need to manage offline tournaments efficiently.
After creating an OTB tournament, organizers have the option to publish it. This action makes the tournament visible to all players on the CircleChess chatbot for registration and discovery.
The Tournament Management section encompasses a range of functions:
– Edit Details: Organizers can make necessary adjustments to tournament information.
– Player Upload/Addition: Users can upload a list of players via a spreadsheet and have the option to withdraw or add players between rounds.
– Generate Pairing: Organizers can easily generate pairings, making it a smooth process for all participants.
– View Standings and Results: The platform offers a comprehensive view of tournament standings and results.
– Upload Scores: Users can update scores for completed games, and this data will be reflected on the pairings and results pages.
– Prize Management: Organizers can define prize categories, such as age and rating, and select from existing options or add new ones as required. Once all rounds are completed, the system generates a list of winners for each category.
