Table Tennis Tournament App for Fun Events & Club Championships

Fair doubles draws, games to 11 points, King of the Table or the Swiss system – for a relaxed club night as much as for the club championship.

From doubles draws to the schedule for the club championship: table tennis club tournaments have their own logic. The Club Turnier Manager is the tournament app that knows it – and handles the organisation while you play.

The Right Format: Fun or Competitive?

For a relaxed club evening, the round-based format with changing doubles partners works best – variety and enjoyment come first. A table tennis classic is King of the Table: winners move up a table, losers move down – whoever wins at table 1 at the end is king. For a genuine club championship with a title on the line, the Swiss or knockout system is the better choice, optionally with a preceding group stage, or a classic round robin in groups. That keeps the schedule fair, and the final standings actually mean something.

You'll find more on the differences between the systems in the article Which Tournament Format Suits Your Event? and in our detailed explanation of the Swiss System.

Sets the Way Your Club Plays Them

Table tennis is played to 11 points, with a two-point lead required at 10:10, usually best of three or best of five. For club championships with a tight schedule, single-game matches work well too, while the final rounds tend to be best of five. In the Club Turnier Manager, every common format – from a single set up to best of four winning sets – is freely adjustable to match your rules and time budget.

Fair Doubles Draws

Anyone who has drawn a table tennis doubles tournament by hand knows the problem: the doubles draws have to be right, so nobody faces the same pairing twice and matches stay balanced. The tournament app handles this automatically – either with fixed doubles pairs or with partners redrawn every round, if you deliberately want to mix up your club evenings.

Practical tip If you also want similarly strong mixed doubles teams to face each other, use fixed doubles pairs in competitive mode with the Swiss system. With rotating partners, the draw runs via the round-based format in fun mode instead.

Example: 16 Players at 4 Tables in One Evening

A typical club evening: 16 participants, 4 tables, singles over one game. Each round has 8 matches – two per table, about 8 minutes each, plus 3 minutes changeover. Five rounds take just over 95 minutes; with a break and the prize-giving you're done in a little over two hours. You'll find the full calculation in our tournament schedule calculator.
