What is kdovede?
#- kdovede is a web and mobile app for people who organise sports tournaments: the match schedule, live scores, standings, the bracket, a screen for the hall and the awards ceremony. Clubs, schools, company events and federations use it. The organiser sets the tournament up on the web, records scores and runs the ceremony from the iPhone and Android app too, and players and fans follow it on the public page or in the same app.
Who is behind kdovede?
#- kdovede is made by PunkHive s.r.o., a company from Olomouc, Czech Republic, founded in 2024. It launched kdovede in 2026 and keeps developing and running it. You can reach us at podpora@kdovede.cz.
How much does kdovede cost?
#- The account and setting up a tournament are free: teams, pitches, the automatic schedule and the preview. You pay when you publish: €19 for a single tournament, or €99 for a Club Season with unlimited tournaments for a year. Players and fans always follow for free. Full pricing
Which sports is kdovede for?
#- Timed: football, futsal, floorball, ball hockey, handball and basketball. In sets: volleyball, beach volleyball, tennis, table tennis and badminton. Match length, points for a win and a draw, and how knockout ties are decided (penalties, overtime, shootouts) come pre-filled for each sport, and you can change them.
Which tournament formats does it handle?
#- You build a tournament from stages: round-robin groups (with return matches if you like), a knockout bracket for 2 to 32 teams with a third-place match, friendlies, and placement groups. You decide who advances where, and head-to-head results from the first groups can carry over.
How does kdovede build the schedule?
#- Add your pitches and when they're available, across several days if needed. The schedule builds itself: no team plays two matches at once, every team gets a break between matches, and knockout matches wait for the results that feed them. Then fine-tune it by dragging a match to another time or pitch.
How does a multi-day tournament work?
#- Turn on Multi-day tournament when creating the tournament or in its settings and set the start and end dates. Then add playing sessions for each day (say Saturday 9–18, Sunday 9–14); the schedule fits into them and knockout matches follow the groups from the day before. The public page and the printout show the schedule by day.
How many teams and pitches can I have?
#- There's no limit on teams or pitches. You can have up to 16 groups, and a knockout bracket takes up to 32 teams. Work out the number of matches and how long it will take beforehand with the tournament calculator. Open the tournament calculator
How are group standings decided?
#- Points first. On equal points, the head-to-head results between the tied teams, then overall goal difference, goals scored and fewest conceded. For sports played in sets, sets count first and then points. You set the points for a win, draw and loss to match your sport.
Can several people record results at once?
#- Yes. Invite colleagues to your club or organisation and each of them records scores on their own pitch, from a phone or the web. Every change shows up straight away for everyone who has the tournament open.
Can I correct a result after full time?
#- Yes. On a finished match choose Correct, change the score and save, on the web or in the app. Standings update straight away. If the correction changes who advances, kdovede replaces the teams in knockout matches that haven't started yet and leaves matches in progress or finished alone. You can also delete a result and the match goes back to scheduled.
How many organisers can an account have?
#- As many as you like. Invite colleagues to your club or organisation by email and give them a role: owners and admins also manage members, and every member works with all of the account's tournaments and records results. An invitation is valid for 7 days and can only be accepted by an account with the same email.
Do players and fans need an app or an account?
#- No. A published tournament has a public page that opens in any browser, for example from the QR code on the poster. The iPhone and Android app is an extra: pick My team in it (on the web it's called Followed team) and its next match and the organiser's messages arrive as notifications. Fans never need an account.
How do I show results in the hall?
#- Open the tournament screen in a browser on a TV or projector. It cycles through live matches with a big score, upcoming matches, standings and the bracket, in the organiser's colours. Nothing to install.
Can kdovede run the awards ceremony?
#- Yes. The final ranking is worked out from the results and you can adjust it. Add awards: best player, top scorer, best goalkeeper, fair play, the best player of each team or your own. During the ceremony you reveal them one by one from your phone: the hall screen shows a big card, the web and the apps update straight away and anyone following a team gets a notification. Every place and award has a share image.
Where do I put information for teams and parents?
#- On the tournament's Info page: a description with photos and YouTube or Vimeo video, a cover photo and ready-made sections for contacts, parking, refreshments, changing rooms and the entry fee. The venue comes with a map and a Navigate button. Send messages during the tournament from the web or the app; fans see them on the tournament page and as a notification in the app.
Can I upload team logos?
#- Yes. Upload a logo and crop it right in the browser, and kdovede suggests the team colour from it. The logo appears in the schedule, standings, bracket and on the hall screen. When you type a team name, teams from your past tournaments are offered with their logo and colour.
Can I print the schedule?
#- Yes. The printable version has the schedule by day and the group tables, ready to print or save as PDF. There's also a poster with a QR code to the tournament's public page.
Does recording scores work offline?
#- No, recording needs a connection, mobile data is enough. Without a connection the score isn't saved: the app shows an error and you record it once you're back online.
Can I run a tournament from a Google Sheet?
#- Yes. A connected tournament creates a spreadsheet in your Drive with the schedule and group tables. Scores typed into the cells appear on the web within half a minute, and it works the other way round too.
Does kdovede handle team registration and entry fees?
#- Not yet. The organiser adds the teams. Online registration is planned; until then, put the entry fee and a contact on the tournament's Info page.
What happens to tournaments when the Club Season ends?
#- Nothing happens to them: tournaments published during the season stay published, results and all. The season renews after a year unless you cancel it. Once it has ended, you publish the next tournament with a one-off payment or start the season again.
How do I build a schedule for a 12-team tournament?
#- Twelve teams in one round-robin group is 66 matches, too many for a day. The proven set-up is three groups of four (18 matches) and a knockout for the best six or eight, 23 to 26 matches in all; every team plays at least three times. Two groups of six plus quarter-finals make 38 matches, over six hours on two pitches. Compare the options in the tournament calculator; the schedule for a group of four is ready-made.
