Why badminton organisers use it
- Fair sit-outs when players outnumber courts
- Rotating doubles partners
- Ladder: winners move up a court
- Season league tables
Everything runs on your iPhone or iPad with no account and no ads, and running a tournament doesn't need a connection, so a sports hall with no signal is no problem.
