Tournament in a Box 2.0 Officially Launches with a Fully Modernized Platform and Powerful New Features

Tournament in a Box, the industry-leading tournament management platform trusted by martial arts organizations nationwide, has officially launched Tournament in a Box 2.0 — a completely rebuilt and modernized online experience designed to make event management faster, smarter, and more intuitive than ever.

After a full ground-up rewrite, Tournament in a Box 2.0 introduces a sleek new interface, streamlined workflows, and a wide range of powerful enhancements aimed at promoters, officials, coaches, and athletes alike.

What’s New in Tournament in a Box 2.0

Integrated Email System: Built-in email delivery for receipts and unpaid balance reminders — fully customizable to match your event’s voice and branding.

Payment History Snapshots: Clear, checkout-by-checkout payment summaries make it easy to see exactly what was paid for, when, and by whom.

Individual & Group Award Certificates: Generate professional certificates for individuals or teams directly from the system.

ENHANCED Web App experience with messaging pushes, and athlete follows for fans, parents, coaches! Redesigned interface, new features, and a fully networked non linear UI.

Advanced Coupon Controls: Coupons can now be configured with usage limits (e.g., valid for the first 10 uses, then automatically expire).

Completely Revamped Registration System: A new guided registration wizard eliminates confusion and incomplete registrations — resulting in cleaner data and fewer issues at check-in.

Forced Checkout Option: Promoters can now require checkout immediately after registration to reduce unpaid entries and day-of issues

Volunteer management: Are you using some other ad laden site or an excel spreadsheet to hope you have enough volunteers? Promoters can now setup a volunteer site, to manage volunteer recruitment, retention, notification, recognition, and organization.  Use sms, email, and communicate in real time before, during, and after the event!

Head Shot Validation: Promoters can now require valid headshots and disallow cartoons, avatars, multiple persons in frame etc.  The system will use advanced modeling to determine if the headshot is valid.

Fully Rebuilt Ranking System: The new rankings engine powers official USA Karate rankings and is flexible enough to support custom point leagues, categories, and associations of any size.

Smart Dropdowns with Auto-Search: Intelligent, searchable dropdowns only show valid, available options — such as filtering clubs to only those actually participating in an event.

Expanded Search Capabilities: The search system now supports officials and coaches, making credentialing and verification faster than ever.

Magic Filters Everywhere: Every major data table now includes typable “Magic Filters,” allowing instant filtering and sorting without page reloads or extra clicks.

Proven Technology, Trusted on the National Stage

Tournament in a Box continues to innovate beyond software alone. Its WKF-style electronic joystick scoring systems, which debuted at the 2025 USA Martial Arts Nationals, are returning for use at multiple events in 2026 — bringing modern electronic scoring and real-time match control directly to the competition floor.

Built for Today — and the Future

Tournament in a Box 2.0 represents a major step forward in usability, reliability, and performance — while remaining fully compatible with existing events, workflows, and organizations.

Tournament in a Box 2.0 is live now.
