RubySquare
Offline Tournament Kit
Everything required to run a live Ruby Square tournament — curated board packs, bracket software, scoring rubrics, printable certificates and an organizer's playbook.
What this service is
Ruby Square is quietly perfect for live competition: games are short, scores are objective (moves + time), and the offline build means a pub basement works as well as a convention hall. The kit packages what we've learned running dozens of these.
You get seeded board packs balanced for skill bands, a brackets tool that runs on a laptop with no internet, the scoring rubric judges actually use, and everything printable from certificates to score cards.

Measured, not promised
Every engagement ends with before/after numbers you can verify inside the game — move counts, under-par rates, solve times. If the numbers don't move, the refund policy applies.

Offline Tournament Kit — FAQ
Correct — the game is offline-native and the bracket tool is a standalone file on your laptop. Run it in a basement.
Brackets from 8 to 64 players; bigger fields split into pools with a finals day — the playbook covers the format.
Any Android device — matches typically run on a handful of shared tablets the organizer provides.
Yes — the license explicitly permits ticketed events. You keep everything; we just ask for a photo of the bracket.
No — scoring is moves plus time, entered into the tool. The rubric handles the edge cases; the playbook handles the humans.
