This is software which can be used to create and manage knockout competitions. It was designed for a bowls club but could be used for any straightforward knockout competitions with up to 4 players per team. It will do a random draw automatically but you can do a manual draw if required. Also it will draw for teams if required. It outputs a schedule with play-by or play-on dates. The schedule will be updated as results are input. It outputs pdf files which can be emailed or printed.

It is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with programmed macros. It was created with Excel 2010 and works in later versions. It may or may not work on an Apple Mac.

It is freely offered to anyone who wishes to try it (see the Creative Commons licence on the Instructions sheet) but it is up to you to determine that it works in your situation. This is not supported but you may contact me (select General Enquiries) with comments or queries.
