Players report from their phones. TOM stays in charge.
Run your League Challenge or Cup in TOM exactly like you do now. MyPokéSpace adds a live view of which tables are done, which haven't reported, and where players disagree, before the slips reach your table.
Free. For organizers and players. There's no paid tier for events.

How a round works
Steps 1, 5 and 6 are what you already do. We fit in between.
- You, in TOM
Pair the round
Nothing changes. TOM pairs, prints and saves the round like always.
- The helper, on its own
The round goes out
The helper sees the round TOM just saved and strips it down to opted-in Masters players on your computer before anything is sent.
- Players
Find their table, then report
Players see their table and opponent in the MyPokéSpace app or on the web. When the match is over, they report and their opponent confirms.
- You, at a glance
Watch the round close
See who hasn't reported and which tables disagree, so you can walk over before you chase slips.
- You, in TOM
Enter results from the slips
Your scorekeeper keys every result into TOM from the signed slips, as usual.
- You, in Play! Tools
Upload, and we delete
Upload your event to Play! Tools as always. Mark it uploaded and we delete the event data we held. Players keep their own results in their Log.
One small helper. Hands off TOM.
The helper is a small app for the laptop you already run TOM on, whether it runs Windows or macOS. It's the only thing you install. Players use the MyPokéSpace app or the web.
What the helper does
- Notices when TOM saves a round, and reads that saved copy.
- Keeps only table numbers, results and players who opted in, right there on your computer.
- Sends that short list to MyPokéSpace, and nothing else.
- Stops whenever you quit it. TOM doesn't notice either way.
What we never do
- Change, move, rename or delete any TOM file, or open, click or control TOM.
- Ask for your Pokémon login or touch Play! Tools.
- Pair or score a sanctioned event.
- Let an app report overrule a signed slip.
- Show a player's deck list to other players.
Rather not install anything? Drag the saved round file onto the MyPokéSpace page in your browser instead. It does the same stripping, on your computer.
Built to stay inside Play! Pokémon's rules
We read the TOM licence, the Tournament Rules Handbook, the store and organizer handbooks and Play! Pokémon support articles, and designed around them.
| The rule | How we stay inside it |
|---|---|
| League Challenges and Cups must run in TOM, with no third-party tournament software.Play! Pokémon support | TOM pairs, scores and computes standings. We never do. We only show players a round TOM already paired. |
| The entire event must run in the TOM interface.Play! Pokémon support | We never write to TOM's files or operate its screens. Every result goes in by hand, through TOM. |
| Below Regionals, match slips are paper, both players initial them, and a signed slip is final.TRH 4.3.4.1 | App reports are advisory. When the app and a slip differ, it says "see slip" and the slip wins. |
| Scorekeepers must hold tournament software certification.TRH 3.3.5 | Your scorekeeper still enters every result. Nothing is automated around them. |
| The TOM licence bans renting, sublicensing or automated collection from the software.TOM EULA s.3–4 | No hosted TOM and no robots. TOM runs on your own laptop, untouched. The helper only reads the rounds you've already saved, and only while you run it. |
| No phone use during a match unless staff allow it.TRH 3.2.1 | Reporting opens only after a match ends. There are no in-match features. |
| Deck lists are confidential during the event.TRH 2.3.1 | Players can send you their list through MyPokéSpace. Only you see it: other players never do. |
| Paper records are destroyed after the event is uploaded.TRH 4.3.4 | We delete the imported pairings and report queue as soon as you mark the event uploaded. |
Your players' data stays small
Only people who opted in
A player shows up only if they have a MyPokéSpace account and linked their Player ID. Everyone else is "Not on MyPokéSpace": no name, no ID. It gets more useful as more of your regulars join.
Adults only
Accounts are 18+. Juniors and Seniors are removed on your computer, along with every birthdate, before anything is sent.
The raw file never leaves your computer
Only table numbers, results and the matches of players who opted in are sent.
Gone after upload
Event data is deleted when you mark the event uploaded. Each player's own results stay private to them in their Log.
Where it goes next
Two more things we'd like to add to save you time.
- A "type these" list for Speed Match Slip Entry, sorted by table, with both-confirmed results first.
- Players scanning their own paper slip with their phone camera.
Try it at your next League Challenge
We're starting with a few organizers we know. We'll set it up with you before your event, and you can stop any time. Interested? Reply to whoever sent you this page, or find Ema on MyPokéSpace.
