Help with Tabroom
Need help at a tournament?
These help resources are for the Tabroom.com software, not for tournament administration. We do not run all these tournaments ourselves, and cannot help you with missing judges or rooms for an individual tournament.
If you're a student, coach, or parent and have a question about a particular tournament, email your tournament officials directly. Contact information can usually be found in the tournament invitation or Tabroom main page (click on the name of the tournament from the main front page of Tabroom.com and look for tournament contacts at the right sidebar.
Do you think Tabroom or another service is offline?
If you suspect our services are having an outage, but are uncertain whether it's on your end, check the

If you're having trouble using the Tabroom software itself, try the manual using the question mark in the top right corner, or using the
If those don't work or your question deals with something private (e.g. personal student info, access needs) email us at:
Please include as many specifics as possible, including the URL of the page in question and a specific example person/entry/tournament/round that triggers the problem, where applicable.
Do you want to hook into Tabroom via an API?
As of this moment, Tabroom does not have a publicly accessible documented API. There is an endpoint at /api/download_data.mhtml, which creates backups of tournament data in JSON format. It will deliver the publicly available JSON data about a tournament if given an ID number if you apply a GET request to it and give it a tourn_id as an argument. if you are logged in properly and have access to that tournament, it will deliver you full tournament data.
But right now, Tabroom's technical team -- that consists of one (1) Chris Palmer -- isn't able to keep up with helping onboard external services and apps. We are currently porting Tabroom to a Node/Express API backend and Svelte frontend. That project will take time, especially on top of keeping the current trains running. However, once that's completed, we should be able to provide much better API access for folks who are interested in building on top of Tabroom as a platform.
We currently do not have a firm timeline as to when that will be available; we'll announce more in the Tabroom Newsletter during the school year, or here.
