Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Is it free?
Yes, you can create and manage competitions for free. Paid plans offer advanced features for large organizations.
Can I create a custom league with my own rules?
Yes. You choose the points for a win, a draw and a loss, the tiebreakers, how many times the teams play each other, and whether there are playoffs, divisions or promotion and relegation. The league maker builds the fixtures from those rules.
What is the difference between a league maker and a league schedule generator?
A league schedule generator gives you the fixtures once. A league maker like LeagueMakerApp runs the whole season: results, live standings, player stats and a page to share with everyone. If you only need the fixtures, our schedule generator works without an account.
What is the tournament engine?
This is the system that generates schedules, knockout brackets, and standings based on the format you choose. It supports league, groups + knockout, knockout (including double elimination), americano, mexicano, Swiss, McMahon and more — for any sport.
How many teams can I add?
No limit on the free plan. Add as many teams and players as you need.
Can I make the competition private?
Yes. Private competitions require an invitation code for teams to join. Only you control who participates.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the platform is fully responsive. You can enter results and view standings from any device.
Can I show the standings on my website?
Yes. Every public competition has an embeddable widget: just copy a snippet of code to display the real-time standings or the competition bracket on your website.
