How to plan with the tournament calculator

Check how many teams your venue can hold, or how much time your teams need, then share the plan or turn it into an event.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 13, 2026

The calculator runs the same scheduler as the Event Planner, so you can test a venue booking before you commit to it. You can use it and share a plan without logging in.

Before you start

  • To create the event from your plan, you need to be a manager of an organization on Dodgeball Hub.

Steps

  1. Open the Tournament Planning Calculator and choose your question. How many teams? works out how many teams fit in your venue time. How much time? works out how long the teams you expect will need.

  2. Set the Courts Available, the Number of Days and the Hours per Day you have the venue for.

  3. Set the Number of Divisions. With How much time?, also set how many teams each division has.

  4. Leave Concurrent Scheduling (Efficient) on to let divisions share the courts at the same time. Switch it off for Consecutive Scheduling, where divisions take turns.

  5. Read the answer. How many teams? shows the most teams that fit. How much time? shows how many hours the games need and whether they all fit in your days. If they don’t, add days, hours or courts.

  6. To hand the plan to someone else, such as whoever books the venue, click Send this plan to someone. The link is copied and shown in a window. Anyone who opens it sees the same plan and can create the event from it.

  7. When the numbers work, click Create this event. If you manage more than one organization, choose the one running the event.

  8. The Event Planner opens with Tournament already chosen. Fill in the first step as for any planner event, then click Next.

  9. Your divisions, team counts and courts are already filled in, and your game timings carry over to the next step. Choose each division’s Division Category and Ball Type, then finish the wizard.
