For clubs and organisers
Three stages, one system
Tournaments are how clubs fund their teams and facilities. We handle the admin so your volunteers can run the day.
01
Promote
Submit your tournament and it appears on the national board, in front of teams already looking for a fixture.
02
Plan
Take entries, build groups and generate the fixture schedule. Pitch allocation included.
03
Play
Live scores and tables on the day, on every phone at the ground. No printed sheets, no tannoy queues.
What you get
From entry to final whistle
Safeguarding first
Participant data is handled to FA safeguarding standards. Contact details stay with the organiser and are never published on a public page.
Entries and waiting list
Teams enter online and land straight on your entry list. See who is in and who is waiting for a place, without a spreadsheet.
Groups and fixtures
Generate groups, fixtures and knockout rounds from your entry list. Change a pitch or a kick-off and everything downstream updates.
Live on the day
Parents follow scores, tables and next kick-off times on their phones. Referees and marshals report results from the pitch side.
Works on bad signal
Built for playing fields, not offices. Pages stay light and usable on one bar of 4G.
