The competition layer.
Connected Series.
Add structured competition to any of the four venue experiences. Run one night, a venue ladder or a connected season with finals. Connected Series is an optional layer, separately scoped and quoted with the experience it runs on.
Recurring fixtures, rankings and progression towards a final.
02 · Tournament-in-a-BoxEvent format, sign-up, scoring, brackets and flexible delivery.
03 · Online SeriesOnline play, broadcast production and connected finals.
The four venue experiences are independently bookable without this layer. Connected Series is not available as a standalone product.
Leagues and Ladders.
Turn one event into a reason to return.
Fortress connects repeat fixtures through player sign-up, results, points, standings and progression. A ladder can stay within one venue or link a venue group under one format, then close with a final.
01
Fixture
A repeatable format gives the venue a clear, bookable competition night.
02
Standings
Results and attendance build visible standings across the agreed program.
03
Return
Players return to protect a position, improve a result or stay in contention.
04
Final
The program progresses towards a final with a clear winner and story.
A one-off activation gains a next date, visible standings and a closing moment.
Tournament-in-a-Box.
The format is packaged. Delivery is matched to the game.
Fortress packages player sign-up, the competition format, run-sheet, live scoring or brackets, result capture and the winner moment. Capacity, timing and the delivery model are shaped to the title, venue, audience and event window.
Venue-run
Run it from the playbook
Venue staff operate suitable formats on site using the supplied run-sheet, tools and instructions.
Remote support
Fortress behind the scenes

Optional add-on · scoped and quoted separatelyAttached to a venue experience, not sold alone.
Online Series.
The broadcast layer that carries a competition beyond the room.
Online Series adds remote play and broadcast production to a Connected Series program. The format can link online rounds to a venue final, turn the final into a live show, or package the strongest moments for later use.
01
Connect
Extend the field
Remote rounds or qualifiers can feed the same agreed format, standings and venue final.
02
Produce
Make the final a show
Broadcast format, graphics, commentary, cameras and production are scoped to the moment.
03
Publish
Give the story a life
Live distribution, highlights and sponsor-ready moments keep the program visible beyond event day.
When to add it: when remote participation, a broadcast final, sponsor visibility or reusable content materially strengthens the program.
