Using the Paperless Option
The paperless option is to have the players be scorekeepers on the CompuSport App.
This will allow playing to mark who won which will advance the bracket. You choose what they fill out: Final scores, Won or Lost, fill out a full scoresheet (Nice options for stats).
You decide if they have to have the opponents approval for the scoresheet to be approved or not.
Once it is accepted. It will advance the bracket, which will also notify the system that the surface is now available for a new match, which will send off notifications to tell the next team or player that their match is up. *If using the proper scheduling tool.
It also sends a notification to the player that won and the one that lost about their match, and about their next match.
