An alternative to Tournify
Tournify plans tournaments for teams you add, import or sign up online. Draftastic starts a step earlier: everyone joins on their phone, the teams are made in the room, then they play on the TV.

Common questions

- Yes. Paste the names, or upload a spreadsheet. Then put each person in their team with Hand-pick, or let people pick their own team with Choose.
- Can players enter their own scores in Draftastic?
- Yes. In Setup, switch on Players report scores. Both teams must agree, and you check any they don’t.
- How many people and teams can Draftastic take?
- A draft takes up to 500 people, in up to 100 teams. A knockout takes up to 100 teams, or 64 with a second chance, and a league up to 20. You can also run a cup over several nights.
