When they are the better choice
If your club already books courts through CourtReserve and runs weekly single-event round robins, Swish's integration and its club plan may earn the subscription.
When we are
If you run tournaments with more than one event, the cap matters: a player in three events pays $10 with us and $15 there. And if you run three tournaments a year, $75 with no term beats six months of a plan.
Their figures are from their pricing page, September 2026. A Swish tournament holds one event, so each event a player enters is a separate $5.
Your next tournament, listed before lunch.
Create a club, name your tournament, pick your events. Brackets and courts are one click each. $25 when you list it, and nothing off your payout.
