League
Ideal for tournaments that run over a longer period — a whole season, for example. Each match is created as its own activity, which makes the format ideal for series, divisions and season-based leagues.

The tournament system is SportMember's all-in-one way to run tournaments, leagues and cups. Setup, registration, schedule building, official assignment, scores and payments all live on one connected platform — so you can retire the spreadsheets, scattered email threads and duplicated effort for good.
01Fixtures
Generate the entire fixture list automatically
Scheduling is the engine room of the tournament system. Rather than dragging matchups around a spreadsheet one by one, the platform lays out the full schedule for you — weighing the tournament format, the teams, match length and when each venue is open.
Work in the calendar or list view, filter by league, group, team and status, and keep scheduled, postponed and canceled matches together in one place. Scores can be entered one at a time or all at once.
- Automatic match creation based on format and venues
- Calendar and list view with filters
- Enter results individually or as a bulk entry

02Officials & referees
The right referee for the right match
A purpose-built module keeps every official in one spot — referees, timekeepers and other roles — along with their certifications, availability and status. Assign people by hand, or let the system recommend the best match for each match.
Automatic assignment takes active status, certification, availability, conflicts of interest and double bookings into account — so you avoid mistakes and save hours of manual coordination.
- Automatic assignment by relevant criteria
- Certifications, roles and access per match
- Receive and approve clubs' requests

03Standings & results
A living overview — and a first-class experience
The moment a score comes in, the table redraws itself. Rankings, games played, point differential, win rate and each team's recent form stay current at all times — on the public results page and inside the app clubs already use every day.
This makes for a professional experience for participants, parents and spectators, and the federation can adjust positions manually when special circumstances call for it.
- Standings update in real time with every result reported
- Public results page per match and tournament
- Manual adjustment of positions when needed

Two formats · the same powerful engine
League or competition — you choose the format
The system ships with two core tournament formats, so you can land on exactly the setup your event calls for.
Competition
Built for shorter formats where many matches take place over a few days. All matches are gathered into a single activity, which makes the format ideal for weekend competitions and concentrated tournaments where everything happens fast.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a league and a competition?
A league suits longer seasons, where each match is created as its own activity. A competition suits shorter events over a few days, where all matches are gathered into a single activity.
Who is the solution suited to?
To federations, organizations and other organizers who want a single platform for tournament management — from registration to the final standings.
Can the system be adapted to our needs?
Yes. You can configure the format, points system, registration rules, fees, number of rounds, match duration and much more yourself — flexible enough for classic league structures as well as specialized tournament formats.
Can fixtures be generated automatically?
Yes. The system schedules matches automatically based on teams, tournament format, match duration and venue availability — so matches are set at free times and in the right places.
Can we gather officials, results and payments in one place?
Yes. The system gives you a complete overview and a shared platform for the whole of tournament management — including officials, results, standings and payments.
