Tournaman is a program to tab debating competitions in British Parliamentary Style. It works by default according to the rules set by the Worlds Universities Debating Council (WUDC).

- Fully complies with WUDC Council rules, especially with the intricacies of “power matching”.
- Lets you choose different pairing options, if you think that WUDC rules should not apply to your tournament (e.g. in order to strictly avoid all previous positions in the next round)
- Can handle large tournaments. Successfully ran Amsterdam EUDC 2010 (192 teams) on time.
- Features extensive drag and drop functionality to allocate adjudicators.
- Lets you drop teams and replace them by swing teams from a drawn round easily.
