Put the bracket on the big screen

The tournament board is a TV channel. Players see who's on which table, who's up next and the standings without crowding the organizer's phone, and walk-ins scan the QR on screen to join.

  • Roku, Fire TV, Google TV — install the free RackerTracker TV channel and enter the 4-letter pair code from your phone.
  • Chromecast — tap Cast in the app; the board follows the tournament automatically.
  • Any smart TV or laptop — open the tournament's board link in the TV browser.
  • Streaming — a scoreboard overlay for OBS, with themes, for bars that stream their matches.
