Run a tournament with one connected workflow

Learn how Portal, Manager Desktop, and Manager Mobile work together—from the first event setup to the final certified result.

Three surfaces, one tournament

iMatch Manager Desktop is the organizer's control room. It is where an organization creates a tournament, defines events, manages entries, builds draws, assigns tables through the supported schedule path, runs the live floor, certifies results, and closes the event.

iMatch Portal is the public and participant-facing surface. Players and families can discover a tournament, register through a verified contact flow, and follow the published tournament page. Coaches and parents use the same public information; they are guidance roles, not separate Portal permission levels.

iMatch Manager Mobile currently means the iPad Table mode in the shared Manager codebase. The iPad-side pairing, table lock, assigned queue, connection state, and Call operator behavior are implemented. The required desktop Table devices sheet is part of the feature-gated V2 Manager shell, so confirm that flag before planning an end-to-end deployment. Point-by-point scoring is not enabled.
