Basketball Tournament Softwarefor Quebec
Live brackets, standings that calculate themselves, and a public display board every family in the gym can follow from their phone. Built for the director running the event — not for an IT department.
BASKETBALL IN QUEBEC
What a basketball weekend looks like in Quebec
Basketball Québec governs a club and school system that runs in French, with Montréal anchoring participation. Québec events regularly draw teams from Eastern Ontario, so a bracket that communicates through scores and team names rather than paragraphs of instructions travels better across the provincial boundary.
Quebec organises most of its youth sport through regional bodies rather than a single provincial schedule, and events are run predominantly in French — including the bracket sheets and the arena announcements.
BUILT FOR BASKETBALL
Basketball, not generic sport
How the draw works
Basketball tournaments run fast and dense: games are short, courts turn over every hour or so, and a single gym can host four or five games in a morning. Points for and against decide most tiebreakers, and a director can be tracking twenty results before lunch on the Saturday.
Where TrakScore fits
The bottleneck is score entry, not bracket design. TrakScore lets a director hand a one-tap scoring link to a table volunteer on each court, so results reach the bracket as games finish rather than in a batch at the end of the day.
Divisions
U11 through U18 for both boys' and girls' streams, tiered Division 1 through 3 in most associations.
Season
A club and rep season running from autumn through spring, with the heaviest tournament traffic between January and April.
Vocabulary
Venues are courts, fixtures are games, and standings track PF and PA.
FORMATS
Every format a basketball draw needs
Single elimination
One loss and you are out. The fastest way to settle a small draw.
Double elimination
Every team gets a second life through the losers bracket.
Round robin
Everyone plays everyone; the standings table decides it.
Pool play into playoffs
Groups on the Saturday, knockout on the Sunday.
Best-of series
BO3, BO5 or BO7, set independently per round, with automatic clinching.

FAQ
Basketball tournaments in Quebec
Can TrakScore run a basketball tournament in Quebec?
Yes. TrakScore is built for exactly this job: a director running a weekend basketball event with teams from across Quebec. You set the format, add your teams, generate the schedule and publish a public display board. Nothing about the platform is tied to a particular league or to Basketball Québec — you run your own event on your own terms.
Which basketball tournament formats are supported?
All five formats basketball organisers actually use: single elimination, double elimination, round robin, pool play feeding a playoff, and best-of series. Basketball events in Quebec most often use pool play into a playoff round, and TrakScore advances winners into the bracket automatically as each game goes final.
How do parents in Quebec follow the scores?
Every tournament gets a public display board at its own URL — no app, no account, no login. Put it on a screen in the gym and share the same link with families. Quebec organisers running an event that draws teams from Ontario or New Brunswick need a scoreboard that reads clearly to families in either language, which is a real constraint on printed-sheet workflows.
Do my scorekeepers need accounts?
No. You can email a one-tap scoring link for any individual game, and the volunteer in the gym opens it and enters the score — no download, no signup. That works on every plan including Free. Standing scorekeeper seats, for someone covering a whole weekend, come with Pro and above.
What does it cost to run a Quebec basketball tournament?
Free covers one tournament per season with up to 16 teams, which is enough for a small basketball draw. It is one tournament per organization, not per login. Beyond that an Event Pass is a one-time $79 for up to 32 teams, $149 up to 64 or $249 up to 128 — no subscription, and the event stays archived and publicly readable afterwards. If you run several basketball events a year — a division per weekend, say — the annual Season Pass works out cheaper.
Does TrakScore use the right terminology for basketball?
Yes — the product speaks basketball, not generic sport. Venues are labelled “Court”, fixtures are “Games”, and the standings table tracks PF and PA rather than a one-size-fits-all column. Age divisions in basketball run U11 through U18 for both boys' and girls' streams, tiered Division 1 through 3 in most associations, and you can name yours whatever your event and Basketball Québec actually call them.
