Technical Update - December 2025

Tournated

Technical Report — December 2025

This report outlines the key product updates, core flow improvements, and upcoming developments delivered by Tournated during December 2025, as well as our roadmap for Q1 2026.


🚀 New Features

White-Label Mobile App Service (LIVE)

The most significant release of the year.

We are officially live with our White-Label Mobile App service, enabling sports organizations to launch their own branded mobile application in under 2 weeks (standard scope).

  • Available for federations, leagues, tours, and organizations
  • Fully branded (App Store & Google Play)
  • Unified login with web platform
  • Minimal upfront investment

Live example:
📱 LTS – Latvijas Tenisa Savienība (available in App Store & Google Play)

For custom mobile app requests:


Live Scoring (Beta)

Organizations can now connect fully integrated live scoring directly within Tournated.

  • Supports all racket sports formats (tennis, padel, pickleball, beach tennis, etc.)
  • Compatible with sports using similar scoring logic
  • Free during beta phase
  • Public APIs available for live streaming & third-party integrations

To enable live scoring:


Live Streaming with Sporfie (Beta)

We partnered with Sporfie to provide live streaming capabilities connected to tournament data.

  • Seamless connection with Tournated tournament software
  • Easy setup for organizers
  • Designed for courts, venues, and federations

Americano & Swiss Formats (Beta)

We introduced a new “Pairings & Standings” block to support popular recreational formats:

  • Americano
  • Swiss system

This allows organizers to manage non-elimination formats with automated standings and pairings.


WTN (World Tennis Number) Integration

Tournated is now fully integrated with World Tennis Number (WTN).

  • One-click submission of tournament results to WTN
  • No manual exports or uploads
  • Fully aligned with WTN requirements

⚙️ Core Flow Improvements

Automated Rankings Updates

  • Set a fixed recurring date & time
  • Rankings update automatically without manual action
  • Eliminates dependency on administrators logging in at specific times

Matches Drag & Drop (Order of Play)

Introduced an advanced Matches management block based on referee and organizer feedback.

  • Filter matches by:
    • Category
    • Bracket
    • Round
    • Match status
  • Drag & drop matches directly into the schedule
  • Significantly reduces manual effort and scheduling errors

Automated Final Standings

Final standings submission has been fully reworked.

  • Supports all draw types:
    • Main draw
    • Qualification
    • Consolation
    • Groups
  • Automatically assigns places and ranking points
  • No manual calculations required

Draws Connection & Future Match Visibility

  • All draw positions are fully connected
  • More reliable automatic movement across draws
  • Order of Play generation:
    • Considers future byes
    • Avoids generating invalid matches
  • Future matchups clearly displayed (e.g. Winner of QF M1 vs Winner of QF M2)

Automated First Match Loser Consolation (FMLC)

  • Enabled directly when creating the main draw
  • Losers of first matches are automatically placed into correct FMLC positions
  • Main draw and consolation draw are fully connected
  • Supports the US-style back draw format

⚠️ Please note:

  • This is not the standard ITF consolation format
  • Logic follows the format commonly used in the USA
  • Losers from specific rounds are placed into predefined FMLC positions
  • Second-round losers may enter FMLC via a bye position if it was their first played match

This removes all manual setup of consolation draws and ensures correct bracket logic.


Buy Licence for Linked Accounts

  • Bulk licence purchases for linked accounts
  • Club managers can buy federation licences for all linked athletes at once
  • Coaches and parents can manage and pay for licences of linked players
  • Eliminates individual licence purchases per athlete
  • Reduces administrative workload for clubs and federations

This significantly simplifies licence management and payment flows across clubs, teams, and families.
