From your first entry to the final report
- 1
Bring the roster you already have
Collect entries on Chess67 or import a CSV or SwissSys SJSON roster. Review names, IDs, ratings, sections, and team labels before saving. Past pairings and results are not imported.
- 2
Check attendance, then pair
Review check-in, byes, and withdrawals for each section. Preview the pairings and any warnings before confirming them. Enter results and check the standings before the next round.
- 3
Review and submit your reports
Check player IDs and missing results, then download the rating report drafts. Review the files and submit them through the federation’s process; downloading a report does not submit it.
Share pairings and tournament updates
Share the live tournament link or a QR code so players can check pairings and standings on their phones. Print sheets for the playing hall, and replace them if pairings change.
- Pairing messages can include each player’s board, color, and opponent.
- Players with Chess67 accounts can read messages in their inbox.
- Phone alerts depend on the delivery method and the player’s settings.
Push alerts require the Chess67 app and enabled notifications. Text messages require an eligible mobile number and available sending allowance. Guest entries may not have a Chess67 inbox.

Frequently asked questions
Which tournament formats are supported?
Swiss, accelerated Swiss, Monrad, Danish, round robin, double round robin, quads, single elimination, and double elimination. Choose the format for each section.
Are the rating reports approved by US Chess or FIDE?
Many clubs run USCF-rated tournaments with Chess67 and have successfully submitted their rating reports using the USCF export feature. Directors review the exported files and submit them through US Chess. Chess67 also prepares FIDE report drafts for review and is not certified or endorsed by FIDE.
Can I run a tournament without internet?
Offline tournament mode is a beta feature on Bishop and higher club plans. Prepare the tournament online on one device first. You can pair rounds and enter results offline, then review and sync when connected. Registration, payments, messages, and other online features still need internet.
Can I bring a roster from another tool?
Yes. Import a CSV roster or SwissSys SJSON file and review the player details before saving. Existing pairings and results are not imported.
