Acceptable Use Policy

TournyScout is a scouting tool for individual coaches, teams, and families. Use it to research and compare events you might actually play. Don’t use it in ways that harm the platform, other users, or the organizers whose events we list.

You agree that you will not:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise extract data from the Service in bulk, whether manually or with bots, scripts, or other automated means.
• Access the Service through automated or bulk methods, resell or redistribute our data, or build a competing dataset from it.
• Post false, misleading, defamatory, or bad-faith reviews or event reports, write about events you did not genuinely attend, or post anything intended to unfairly boost or damage an organizer.
• Harass, threaten, defame, or abuse other users, coaches, families, tournament directors, or organizers.
• Use shared organization access to interfere with another coach's team — changing its details or replacing its logo or photo — without that coach's say-so.
• Upload a photo of someone else's child, or any image you don't have the right to publish.
• Attempt to breach, probe, or circumvent the security of the Service — including unauthorized access to accounts, data, servers, or systems, or interfering with normal operation (denial-of-service, injection, credential stuffing, and the like).
• Misuse tournament director or organizer contact information — no spam, solicitation, marketing blasts, phishing, or contact for any purpose other than a legitimate, event-related inquiry.
• Impersonate another person, team, or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation.
• Upload malware, or post content that is unlawful, infringing, obscene, or that violates the privacy or rights of others.
• Circumvent plan limits, rate limits, paywalls, or any access controls, or share an account to evade them.

A review is your rating and your words about a tournament you played, published on that event’s page under your first name and last initial. Base every one on your own genuine experience, keep it factual, and leave out anything you can’t stand behind. Nobody else’s kid belongs in it.

What we can actually do about one that breaks these rules: an administrator can hideit, which takes it off the tournament page and out of that event’s average. We don’t have a tool to reword what you wrote, and we don’t want one — a review we act on is hidden, not quietly edited. Detailed event reports (fields, umpiring, hospitality, whether the schedule held) aren’t open for submission yet; when they are, everything in this section applies to them too.

An organization groups a club’s teams. Everyone in one can see and edit every team assigned to it — its details, its logo, and its photo — so membership is real access, not a label. Only add people you would hand your team page to.

Being added takes effect immediately, so we tell the account it happened: a notification lands in their bell with a link to the Organization page. Nobody is stuck there. Any member can leave at any time, and an owner can removea member — either way the departing coach takes the teams they own out of the organization with them, and the remaining members lose access to those teams on the spot. The one wrinkle is the owner: there’s no tool for handing an organization to someone else, so an owner can’t walk out and leave everyone else stranded in it. They remove the remaining members first, and then leaving closes the organization outright — teams, plans, and billing survive it; only the grouping goes away. Deleting the account is the exception: an organization other coaches are still working in passes to someone else rather than closing — the longest-standing owner still in it, or if there is no other owner the longest-standing admin, or if there is neither, whoever has been in it longest.

Where the Service surfaces contact details for an organizer or director, they are provided for legitimate, event-specific inquiries only. Do not add them to mailing lists, sell them, or use them for spam or solicitation. Automated collection of contact information is strictly prohibited.

If you violate this policy we may, at our discretion and without notice, rate-limit your requests, remove or hide the content involved, remove your account from an organization, or delete your account outright. There is no halfway “suspended” state today — an account is either active or gone — and deleting one takes its teams and saved plans with it. Serious or unlawful abuse may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

Seeing content or behavior that breaks these rules — a fake review, harassment, or a security issue? Email info@tournyscout.com or use the contact form, and we’ll look into it. Both reach the same inbox.

Two kinds of content here come from users: the logo and photo a coach uploads for a team, and the reviews coaches write about tournaments. Reviews are public on the event’s page. Team images show up on that team’s shared page — an unlisted link the coach chooses to hand out — and to anyone in the same organization as the team, who sees them inside the app.

Both are reportable without an account. Every shared team page carries a Report this page link at the bottom, and every review has a Reportlink on it. Tell us what’s wrong (it isn’t your team, it’s offensive, it shows a child without consent, it’s spam, or something else) and add any detail you want us to see.

An administrator reads every report. If an image breaks these rules we clear it off the team — the shared page, the app, and the stored file itself, so the link stops working for anyone who kept it. If a review does, we hide it, and it leaves the tournament page and the event’s average. If the problem is an account using a shared organization to reach into a team that isn’t theirs, we can remove that account from the organization — and you don’t have to wait for us: an owner can remove a member, and any member can leave, from the Organization page. We don’t send an outcome for individual reports, and repeat or serious violations can cost the account.
