Store description excerpt
The Operating System for your Chess Club. Your club already runs on something — a spreadsheet, a group chat, a binder in the tournament director's bag. Rook Ready gives it a home: the roster, the calendar, the announcements, and the rated tournament everybody actually showed up for. WHAT YOUR CLUB GETS Add your members once and everything else uses them — event RSVPs, attendance, and custom fields for the things chess clubs actually track, from ratings to emergency contacts. Post an announcement or message someone directly and it lands in the same Updates inbox on their phone, so a reminder doesn't depend on anyone checking email before Saturday. RATED TOURNAMENTS, RUN FROM THE ROOM Open registration and players — or a parent registering for their kid — sign up right from their phone, with a form built for chess: USCF ID, section, the works. On tournament day, the director console runs the rounds from the same phone: review pairings, enter results at the board, watch standings update live, and message an entrant (or their guardian) with the reply landing straight in their inbox. Lost the venue's wifi mid-round? Results queue on the phone and send the moment a signal comes back, so nobody re-types a scoresheet from memory. Six formats — Swiss, Double Swiss, Round Robin, Double Round Robin, Quads, and a single-elimination Knockout bracket — plus team events with their own standings. Section setup, entry pricing, and the official USCF and FIDE rating reports live on the web console that comes with your club — that part's built for a desk, not a pocket, and we'd rather tell you than have you go looking. START FREE Every club starts on Pawn: free, forever, for up to 30 members, with the roster, calendar, attendance, and announcements included. No credit card, no expiring trial. Ready for more — or ready to run a rated event? Your first club gets a 14-day trial of Rook, also free, also no card, started right from the app. There's a lost-and-found box at every chess club with somebody's trousers in it. Rook Ready can't help with that part. Everything else, it can.
