Basketball Tournament and Playoff Scoring Software
A tournament compresses a season into a day: many games, little time and a crowd that wants results now. BucketStats lets several scorekeepers record games, publishes each result as soon as it is approved, and gives every team a page to follow.
What is hard about running tournaments and playoffs
Speed on the day
Live scoring updates the public page while the game is played, so nobody has to walk to a clipboard to find the score.
Playoff brackets
Generate a playoff bracket from the standings. Bracket games are marked as playoff games, and a playoff game cannot end tied.
Official records
Results are approved by the organizer, so the final score and box score are the record.
A good fit if you have
- One- or two-day events
- Many short games
- Several courts
- Fans following from their phones

What it costs: organizers pay nothing. Each team subscribes for its own workspace from $29 a month, and the league goes live once two teams have joined and subscribed.
Frequently asked questions
Can several courts score at once?
Yes. Each game has its own scorekeeper, so several games can be scored at the same time.
Can fans follow live scores?
Yes. The league page shows games in progress and each game page has a live play-by-play.
Can it build the playoff bracket?
Yes. The organizer can generate a playoff bracket for a season, and bracket games are shown as playoff games. A playoff game cannot end tied.
