“But does Torneyo work for volleyball?” “Can I run a tennis tournament?” “What about beach tennis?” The answer to all these questions is yes. Torneyo was born in soccer and futsal, but it was built to support any team or individual sport — and this guide shows how to configure each one.
Torneyo’s strength is its flexibility
Unlike platforms that only work for soccer (round-robin, 11 starters), Torneyo is sport-agnostic. You define the sport when creating the tournament, and the system adapts:
- Score and scoring: goals, sets, games, points, rounds — each sport has its own system
- Standings table: customizable columns (sets won, games, tiebreak, difference)
- Digital match report: sport-specific fields (volleyball: sets and points; tennis: games and tiebreaks)
- Tiebreaker criteria: fully configurable per sport
Configuration examples by sport
| Sport | Scoring | Standings | Common format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volleyball | Sets (25-23, 25-21) | W/L, Sets W/L, Points | Groups + Knockout |
| Basketball | Points (87-65) | W/L, Diff, Points For | Round-robin |
| Beach Tennis | Sets (6-4, 7-5) | W/L, Sets, Games | Single elimination |
| Tennis | Games/Sets | Individual by bracket | Bracketed |
| Futsal | Goals (4-2) | Pts, W, GD, GF | Groups + Knockout |
| Handball | Goals (28-24) | Pts, W, GD, GF | Round-robin |
Tournament formats by sport
Each sport has its preferred formats — and Torneyo supports all of them:
- Round-robin: ideal for soccer, futsal, basketball — everyone plays everyone
- Groups + Knockout: ideal for volleyball, handball — group stage followed by elimination
- Single elimination: ideal for tennis, beach tennis — direct knockout
- Swiss: ideal for chess and board sports — score-based pairing
- Best third-placed: ideal for cups with many groups — qualifies the best 3rd-place teams
Why this matters
If you organize tournaments for more than one sport, you can use a single platform for all of them. No need to learn one system for soccer and another for volleyball. No need to migrate data between platforms. Everything in one place — your teams, your athletes, your standings.
And if you only organize one sport today but plan to expand to others in the future, the platform is already ready.
