The idea

Why TournamentTrail exists

The problem

Chess tournaments are often published across different websites, social media pages, and local communities. Players may need to search through multiple sources before finding the event details they need.

Travelling to another city can also be expensive and difficult to organise, especially when players do not know who else is attending from their area.

The solution

TournamentTrail provides one place where players can browse events, review participation requirements, register for tournaments, and track their status through My registrations.

Players can also create or join travel groups connected to a specific tournament and coordinate the journey with other participants.
