Run mini tournaments and leagues, manage seeding, ranking lists and group setups (cup/round robin/mixed). Log matches to collect player and match statistics.
How is your league managed? Below I will describe in detail how we run our own league in our club. It would be interesting to hear from others playing in leagues how you are doing it.
Over the years I have participated in numerous squash leagues. Some have been weekly leagues, happening at the same time and place every week. Others have been leagues running over a month or so, where matches are set up in advance, and players are responsible for playing their matches when and where suitable to themselves and their opponents.
A league is a group of people participating in a competitive sport against eachother. A league has a ranking list, where the best players will be found at the top and the lesser players towards the bottom.
A league consists of multiple rounds, where a sub group of the group competes against each other. After the end of each round and depending on the results of the round, the league ranking will be updated. I can be updated manually (drag & drop), or it can be automated according to certain pre-defined rules.
Squash only (for now).
tourFuture support includes: Tennis, Badminton, Table Tennis, Padel, Squash, Pickeball, Racquetball.
This app is for everyone running or participating in racket sport leagues, or players who just want to log matches and get player and match statistics.
A league can be run by a single manager on behalf of all users, or a manager can invite users to support invites and participation management.
A league can also have a mix of managed users (users who are not managing their own participation) and registered users.
Registered users can receive email notifications of league rounds, choose to sign up for individual round and receive round results.

Who is behind this? We've been playing squash leagues for decades. We wanted a system to simplify league management. We also want to extend this service into becoming a community network for leagues.
Why did you make this? We have tried many systems for running leagues. We wanted something flexible and simple, which would run great on the devices we have available when we play.
How can I support you? Help us get to product market fit. You can do this by helping us to get actual users and usage.
Can I run tournaments? No. Tournaments are a different ball game (pun intended). If you need a great tournament management system, please check out https://www.rankedin.com/.
