The volleyball tournament app for organizers

Beach doubles on a Sunday, a grass 4s tournament, an indoor coed 6s night: RNKD runs the paid registration, the waivers, the pools and the bracket, so you can watch the volleyball. We built it running our own coed 6s tournaments in Metro Detroit.

Formats that fit

  • Pool play into a bracket. The classic volleyball day: round robin in pools, then the top teams move on to single or double elimination.
  • Swiss. Teams play a set number of rounds against teams with similar records, and nobody is out after one loss. Run it as a league, or cut to brackets, up to four of them side by side, so every team keeps playing meaningful matches.
  • Single or double elimination for a short day, and round robin for a small field.

Coed rules

Set a minimum number of women in the lineup for a coed event. It shows on the event before teams register, and RNKD checks that each team has enough women on its roster to field a legal side. Who is on the court at any moment is still yours to watch, like any rec rule. Coed, men's and women's each have their own player ranks, so a men's result never moves anyone's coed rank.

Our own event

We run volleyball tournaments on RNKD ourselves. At RNKD Coed 6s in Pontiac on October 17, 2026, six teams and 36 players played a full round robin, then all six went into a bracket with best-of-3 matches. The bracket ran long: those matches averaged about 49 minutes, roughly twice a single game. That's the kind of thing we now plan for, and we'll plan it with you.
