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 complete solution for managing tournaments, leagues and competitions. From setup and registration through fixture planning and official management to results and payments — the whole process runs on one connected platform, so you can do away with Excel spreadsheets, loose emails and double work.
01Fixtures
Generate the entire fixture list automatically
Fixtures are the most powerful module in the tournament system. Instead of moving matches around a spreadsheet by hand, the system automatically builds a complete schedule — taking the tournament format, teams, match duration and the availability of each venue into account.
Plan in the calendar or list view, filter by league, group, team and status, and manage scheduled, postponed and cancelled matches in one place. Results can be entered individually or in bulk.
- 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 dedicated module gathers all officials — referees, timekeepers and other roles — with their certifications, availability and status. The federation can assign manually, or let the system automatically suggest the best-suited person.
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
As soon as a result is reported, the table updates automatically. Positions, matches played, goal difference, win rate and each team's current form are always up to date — on the public results page and in the app that clubs already know.
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 supports two fundamental tournament formats, so you hit exactly the setup your tournament needs.
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.

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, organisations and other organisers 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 specialised 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.
