Badminton tournament software for India
Run registration, draws, check-in and live scores for a badminton tournament from one dashboard.
KIBI is badminton tournament management software for academies, clubs and organisers. Players register from a mobile link, you generate brackets or round-robin draws from the entries, officials check players in by QR and score live, and certificates go out when results are locked. The admin portal is free until 31 March 2027, with no card. KIBI works with 100+ institutions, and 90,000+ athletes are verified through sports organisations.
What you run from the dashboard
Registration from a WhatsApp link
Players or parents open one mobile web link, verify their mobile number with an OTP, choose a category and pay the entry fee by UPI, in about 60 seconds. No app to install. Age-category and capacity limits are enforced.
Brackets and draws from the entries
Seeded knockout brackets with byes, and round-robin groups feeding a knockout, are generated from the entries instead of drawn by hand in Excel.
QR check-in
Each confirmed player gets a QR pass. Officials scan it on any smartphone to check eligibility and fee payment.
Live scoring
An official logs scores from a phone at the court. Spectators follow scoreboards and brackets at /live, and winners advance in the bracket automatically.
Certificates and results
After the tournament director locks results, KIBI issues digital participation and merit certificates and publishes a shareable results page.
How big is the draw?
Plan courts and time slots from the number of entries. A round robin needs N x (N-1) / 2 matches. A knockout pads the field to the next power of two, and the extra slots become byes for the top seeds. These are arithmetic, so they hold for any format that follows those rules.
| Entries | Round robin matches | Knockout slots | Byes | Knockout rounds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 28 | 8 | 0 | 3 |
| 12 | 66 | 16 | 4 | 4 |
| 16 | 120 | 16 | 0 | 4 |
| 24 | 276 | 32 | 8 | 5 |
| 32 | 496 | 32 | 0 | 5 |

Frequently asked questions
Badminton tournament software replaces the Google Form, the Excel draw and the paper score sheet with one system for registration, the draw, check-in, live scores and results. On KIBI, players register from a mobile link, and you run brackets, QR check-in and live scoring from the same dashboard.
List the entries in seed order, strongest first, and choose a format. For a knockout, the field is padded to the next power of two (8, 16, 32 or 64 slots) and the top seeds get the byes. For a league, a round robin pairs every entry with every other entry once. KIBI's free fixture generator does both without an account.
With N entries a single round robin has N x (N-1) / 2 matches, so 8 entries play 28 matches and 12 entries play 66. A double round robin doubles that. For a knockout, subtract the entries from the next power of two to get the number of byes.
