From group to game in three steps.

  1. Step 1: Set it up

    Pick a format, add your players and courts. Good Game Buddy works out the rounds, the rotations and who sits out, so nobody does math on a whiteboard.

    Round robin · Mexicano · King of the Court · Pod play · Brackets · Open play

  2. Step 2: Send the game

    Every session gets a live link and a QR code. Text it to the group or hold up your phone; players see their court and partner without downloading a thing.

    Works on any phone, tablet or laptop

  3. Step 3: Play

    Anyone with the link can enter scores. The leaderboard updates for everyone instantly, and your match history keeps the receipts.

    Prefer paper? Print the whole session.

It's so damn easy. Seriously, just try it.
