The original bench soccer game

Organising a tournament is the best thing you can do with a day

Played with your feet, learned in ten seconds, impossible to walk away from. Twenty tables in one room turns five hundred strangers into a bracket with a story.

The 10-second rule

The whole rulebook fits on a wristband

Which is why a 500-person tournament needs no briefing, no queue of confused people, and no staff explaining anything.

  1. 01Rock, paper, scissorsTwo players face off across the table. RPS decides who kicks off.
  2. 02Feet onlyOne leg under the bench, one ball, no hands. The table does the rest.
  3. 03First to 3 goalsNo clock, no halves, no referee needed for open play.
  4. 04Winner stays onThe loser stands up, the next player sits down. The queue never stalls.

Four rules, one wristband. That is the entire briefing.

Three audiences, one argument

For brands

A branded table is an asset people voluntarily photograph themselves at. You're buying participation and the content that comes out of it — not signage.

For participants

No skill barrier, no team to join, no kit. Sit down and play. Winner stays on.

For the community

A tournament turns a room of strangers into a bracket with a story. It leaves behind players, not attendees.

Two formats, one honest note

A 500-player knockout does not fit into a single day. Open Play qualifies, the bracket crowns.

Winner stays on

Open Play

Every table runs continuously. Nobody is eliminated, nobody waits long, and a live streak leaderboard builds the story of the day.

Single elimination

Bracket

A seeded knockout on a clean power-of-two field. Dramatic and clean, but it eliminates half the field in the first round — which is why it belongs at the end of the day, not the start.

Recommended

Hybrid

Open Play qualifies all morning, then the fleet splits: most tables keep running open play while a share of the fleet crowns a champion.
