Essential. No noise.
Board games can use different formats, table sizes and scoring systems. ArsLudi adapts to the tournament without making it harder to run.
The format your tournament needs
Solo, pairs or teams. Head-to-head or multi-player tables: ArsLudi follows the format you actually play.
From the first round to the final
Rounds, Swiss, free-for-all, qualifiers and elimination stages: build the competition without fighting the software.
Standings follow your rules
Scores, Victory Points, position and tie-breaks: record what matters for the game and let the standings do the rest.
Everyone sees what they need
Organizers, admins, staff and people with read-only access work with different permissions, clear responsibilities and fewer mistakes.
Every player has their own identity
Keep nicknames and player details ready between tournaments. Reuse participants and keep entries, results and standings connected to each competition.
Always know what is happening
Home, operational counters and the activity log surface what needs attention, with real-time updates.
State-guided workflow
Each phase has its own state.
ArsLudi uses event and tournament states to show configurations, actions and inputs that fit the current moment. It protects what should no longer change and guides staff on what to do, step by step.

One flow, every scale
From the table at home to the public tournament.
Four friends around a board game are enough to start. ArsLudi gives structure to game night and keeps working when the tournament grows.
Tournaments with friends
Game night becomes a real tournament.
Four, six or eight players: create the tournament, generate tables and pairings, record results and keep the standings.
- Each player keeps a reusable gaming identity.
- Tables and pairings without improvising.
- Results and standings remain tied to the tournament.
- A ranking season keeps the group competition alive over time.
Events & clubs
When it grows, you don't change tools.
More players, more tournaments, staff and live operations: the same flow scales with the event.
- Entries and check-in stay in one place.
- Roles keep organizers, staff and read-only access clearly separated.
- Live results and standings stay synchronised.
- Public displays and read-only access keep operations and viewing separate.

Before you start
The questions that really matter.
Short answers to the most common questions before you create your ArsLudi space.
Can I use ArsLudi for a board game tournament with friends?
Yes. Starter is designed for small groups too: create the tournament, generate tables and pairings, record results and keep the standings without needing a large event.
Can I use it with games such as Ticket to Ride, 7 Wonders or Risiko?
Yes. ArsLudi is built for board games with different tournament formats, table sizes and scoring rules. The examples are illustrative and do not imply any affiliation with their publishers.
What if my board game is not in the catalog?
If it is not in the official catalog, you can search BoardGameGeek and start from the available data, or create it from scratch. The game is saved in your personal catalog and stays reusable for future tournaments.
How does ArsLudi handle different formats and scoring systems?
Depending on the tournament you can use solo players, pairs or teams, head-to-head or multiplayer tables, and scoring based on scores, positions, Victory Points and tie-breaks.
What is the difference between an event and a standalone tournament?
A standalone tournament starts directly and lives on its own. An event groups several tournaments that share dates, organization or context.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ArsLudi runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and smartphone, with live information that can also be shown on public displays.
What happens after the 15-day free trial?
If ArsLudi works for you, choose Starter, Club or Pro based on how you use it. You can change plan later as your tournaments grow or your needs change.
