Tournament registration software that doesn't punish you per team
Registration is where most amateur tournaments leak entries: a form on one platform, payment somewhere else, rosters in a spreadsheet, and a WhatsApp group nobody reads. One public listing with registration attached removes three of those four.
Free for players and organizers
- Local event calendar by city and sport
- Team or individual registration with roster invites
- Live results, brackets and standings
- Direct messaging with organizers
- Spectator ticketing on the same page
What registration actually needs to do
The job is narrow: capture the team, capture the contact, confirm the entry, and give you a live view of who is in. Anything more elaborate usually becomes something you maintain instead of something that helps.
- Public tournament page teams can find and share
- Team registration with captain contact and squad size
- Live entry list so you know when the bracket is full
- Messaging with every registered captain in one thread
- Waitlist for late entries when a team drops
Why the listing being public matters
A registration form nobody can find only collects the teams you already knew. Because AthletiLink tournament pages are public and indexable, entries also arrive from players searching for tournaments in your city — which is where growth past your own contacts comes from.
Fees and payments
You set your entry fee and collect it however you already do. AthletiLink does not charge you per team and does not sit between you and the money, so a 24-team bracket costs the same to run as a 6-team one: nothing.

Post to the feed, send to local clubs, and the page keeps collecting.

One reply per captain with pitch times and rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can I cap the number of teams?
Yes. Set a team cap and use the waitlist for the overflow — drops are common, and a waitlist means you refill a bracket in hours rather than days.
Can I collect entry fees through AthletiLink?
Not currently. You keep your existing payment method and record the entry as confirmed once you have been paid, so no percentage leaves your event.
Is it free to list or find a sports event?
Yes. Browsing events, tournaments and leagues is free, and organizers can publish a listing and take registrations without a listing fee.
Do I need an account to browse events?
No. Event pages, tournament listings and results are public. You only need a free account to register a team, message an organizer or save an event.
