Rated 4 out of 5 stars

There is no option for organizing a team competition. Besides that it is readable, simple to use even at first time.

What a fantastic program!

What a fantastic program. I’ve been using ChessManager.com for the past two years to run local tournaments for our chess club, and it has been outstanding. To streamline seating between rounds, I generate a QR code and display it on a small TV—parents and youth can instantly find where they’re seated with ease. I especially love how the Swiss-style pairing handles all the tie-breaking automatically, saving me time and eliminating guesswork. It’s made tournament management smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

I'm just taking my first steps in using chessmanager. I'm currently preparing my first tournament with the help of this program, so I can't yet evaluate it precisely. It will be possible after 04/06/2025. So far it seems to be a good program.

Great company and product

Great company and product

They have been responsive to feedback and made their product the best we've used to manage our casual and serious chess tournaments. We love that we can send a link to parents and they can follow the results in real time. It also allows them to catch human errors we may make when entering results.

Overall great product, missing a few features

Overall a great product that makes hosting chess tournament easy. Especially FIDE endorsement is welcomed.

What I find missing is the pipeline from player registration to round 1. From the player's perspective, they receive no confirmation (by email for example) that I approved their registration. Players would need to check the page regularly to see their name pop up. Next, the very same confirmation email should also hold a link for players to deregister by themselves. Lastly, check-in (attendance) on the day of the tournament is missing a streamlined process entirely.

There's workarounds and we make do, but having these qol features would make CM a polished all-rounder.
