LiveCup.app can put your matches on several courts, pitches, tables or boards and give each match a start time. On the match day you can still change the time or the order.
The names change with the sport. Football says Pitches, tennis, padel and similar sports say Courts, and others say tables or boards. This page says "court".

Every match now has a court and a start time. Teams see them on the public page.
If the tournament already runs, generating again redraws the court and time of every match that has not started. Live and finished matches keep theirs. LiveCup.app asks you to tick a box first.
The card is called Autopilot. Switch it on at the same place: as soon as a match ends, the next ready match goes to the free court automatically. The Who marks the match dropdown sets who can enter the score of that match from their personal link. It needs a PRO plan or higher.
