Description
Chess Caddy is a free, offline-friendly tool for running in-person chess tournaments — built for the person actually running the room, not for online play.
Whether you're hosting a Tuesday club night, a school event, or a weekend open, Chess Caddy handles the fiddly parts so you can focus on the players: pairings, results, and live standings, all from one device.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Automatic Swiss pairings — one tap pairs each round by score, avoids rematches, balances colors, and handles byes fairly.
Multiple formats — Swiss, round-robin, single-elimination knockout, and Bughouse (teams of two), including random-partner "scramble" mode.
Live standings & tiebreaks — enter a result and the leaderboard updates instantly, with Buchholz, Sonneborn-Berger, and Cumulative tiebreaks and medals for the top three.
Player management — add players in seconds, edit on the fly, and withdraw or re-enter anyone without breaking the standings.
Forfeits & no-shows — record them cleanly without skewing the math.
Print & share — print pairing sheets and standings wall charts, share standings straight from the system share sheet, or export a whole tournament to a file to back up or reopen later.
Undo & auto-backup — step back through changes, with an automatic backup so a misclick never costs you the event.
WORKS OFFLINE — YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Chess Caddy runs entirely on your device. There are no accounts and no sign-up, and your tournament data is stored locally — it never leaves your device unless you export it yourself. A dropped Wi-Fi connection never stops play.
WHO IT'S FOR
Club organizers, tournament directors, chess teachers, and anyone who needs to run a fair, friendly over-the-board event without spreadsheets or pairing cards.
Free to use. No ads. No tracking.
