Learns your event
The more tournaments you run, the better Teddy gets at supporting them.
Your Whole Bench. One Roster.

Profiles built for sports
Track certifications, sports, levels, positions, and reliability scores, not just names and emails.

- ▸
Performance and history at a glance
See who showed up, who flaked, and who you'd hire again for every event, all in one place.
- ▸
Onboarding that runs itself
W-9s are collected and tracked at sign-up.
