Run a tournament with one connected workflow

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 means the iPad Table mode in the shared Manager codebase. A paired iPad shows only its table's queue and connection state, lets a table official call the control desk, and scores singles, doubles, and mixed matches point by point, submitting one result to the desk for certification. The desktop Table devices sheet used to pair it is part of the default Manager shell. Team ties are not scored on the pad.
