5 min readgetting started

Minute 0-5: Create Your Tournament

Sign up for free, enter tournament name, date, and location. Choose your sport and set the number of pitches. Done.

Minute 5-10: Add Categories

Create age groups or divisions (e.g., U12 Boys, U14 Girls). Set team limits and entry fees for each. The system creates separate brackets automatically.

Minute 10-15: Configure Registration

Enable online registration. Add custom form fields if needed (emergency contact, kit size, etc.). Connect Stripe to collect payments.

Skip Stripe setup if you're collecting fees manually.

Minute 15-20: Share Your Link

Publish your tournament and share the registration link. Embed it on your website or share via email/social media. Teams can register immediately.

Minute 20-30: Generate Fixtures

Once teams are registered (or add them manually), generate fixtures with one click. The scheduler assigns times and pitches automatically. Review and adjust if needed.
