Pick a system, set your rules, and Challanger builds the schedule, collects the results and keeps the table straight. From a four-player club ladder to a federation season across several venues.
Everyone plays everyone and the table decides the winner. Points add up over the whole season, every player gets the same number of matches, and several divisions can run side by side — with play-offs or a final at the end if you want one.
Everyone plays the same number of rounds, but nobody has to play everyone. Each round pairs players on equal points, never the same two twice, so the field sorts itself out without anyone being knocked out. Ties are settled by Buchholz.
The classic draw: lose and you’re out, win and you move on, all the way to the final. Challanger builds the draw and advances the winners, and a consolation draw keeps early losers playing.
Every player carries a rating. Beat a stronger player and you climb a lot; lose to a weaker one and you drop a lot. Every result also counts towards the global ELO ranking for your sport.
Players sit in a pyramid and challenge upwards, a few places at a time. Win and you swap places. Play never stops, with deadlines for accepting and playing every challenge.
Players sign up alone, but every match is doubles — with a new partner each round. Points are personal: you score the games your pair won, so the winner is one player, not a team.
Most platforms give you a box for the winner’s score. Challanger gives your sport its own record sheet.
5×5 and 3×3 to FIBA rules, entered by quarter with overtime, team fouls, and a FIBA or NBA-style sheet.
Separate sports, separate rules, both to FIFA: halves, accumulated fouls, penalty shootouts taken kick by kick or as a single score.
IHF rules, two-minute suspensions, seven-metre throws, the official record.
FIVB, 1, 3 or 5 sets, liberos, substitutions per set, the full sanction scale.
FIDE, boards and colours in team matches, a clock built into the page, and a tiebreak ladder from rapid to blitz to Armageddon.
The official sheet with code violations, time violations, medical time-outs and suspensions.
11, 15 or 21 points; Bo1 to Bo7.
Anything outside that list still runs on custom rules and scoring you write yourself.
