Running korfball tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Mixed-gender roster compliance is hard to verify
Korfball mandates equal gender representation — 4 men and 4 women per team of 8. Verifying compliance for every team across registrations and substitutions manually is time-consuming and error-prone.
Zone-based play adds scheduling complexity
Teams rotate between attack and defence zones each period. Scheduling matches with appropriate changeover time for zone switches, while keeping courts running, requires careful planning.
The sport is niche — organisers handle everything alone
Korfball organisers often manage registrations, draws, scheduling, scoring, and promotion single-handedly. Without automation, admin overwhelms the event itself.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up your korfball tournament
Choose your format — group stage plus knockout, round robin, or straight elimination. Set the number of courts, period length, and intervals between matches.
Teams register with mixed-gender squads
Share a registration link. Teams submit their 8-player mixed-gender roster, confirm participation, and pay the entry fee online. Roster details are visible on your dashboard.
Run matches with live results
Enter scores as periods or matches finish. Group standings, knockout brackets, and court schedules update automatically. Players and spectators follow along in real time.
Formats
Every korfball format, covered
Group Stage + Knockout
Teams play round robin in groups, then top finishers advance to knockout rounds. The standard format for korfball national and international championships.
Round Robin
Every team plays every other team. Standings by points, goal difference, and head-to-head. Good for smaller korfball leagues and one-day events.
Straight Knockout
Single-elimination bracket for quick events. Automatic seeding and bye allocation for uneven team numbers.
IKF Tournament Format
Multi-stage format used in International Korfball Federation events: pool rounds, placement rounds, and classification matches for final rankings.
