How it works
From setup to live in four steps
Create the ladder

Add players
Import via CSV, share an invite link or add players by hand. They link their own profile.
Players challenge each other
Every team sees the standings and can send a challenge to a team ranked above them. No admin required.
Enter the result via a unique link
After the match, players use a unique link to enter the result. No login needed. Slams then recalculates the DSS ratings and updates the standings automatically.
