Netball tournaments, from centre pass to grand final
Stop managing court rotations and pool standings on paper. PlayMetric automates draws, court scheduling, and live results so your netball event runs on time, every time.
Sound familiar?
Running netball tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Court scheduling across multiple venues is chaotic
Coordinating matches across 4-8 courts with umpire rotations, warm-up periods, and back-to-back games means constant manual adjustments. One delayed game throws the entire schedule off.
Pool play standings with percentage tiebreakers are tedious
Netball tiebreakers often use goal percentage (goals for divided by goals against) rather than simple goal difference. Calculating these manually across groups mid-event is slow and error-prone.
Managing 7-position rosters across many teams is fragmented
Tracking player registrations, position assignments, and team eligibility for events with 20+ teams means paperwork that takes longer than the warm-up.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up your netball tournament
Choose your format — pool play plus finals, round robin, or straight knockout. Set the number of courts, quarter length, and break times between matches.
Teams register with squad details online
Share a registration link. Team managers submit their squad with player names and positions, and pay the entry fee. Track every entry from your dashboard.
Run the event with live court-by-court results
Enter scores as quarters or matches finish. Pool standings, finals brackets, and court schedules update automatically. Teams check their next game on any device.
Formats
Every netball format, covered
Pool Play + Finals
Teams play round robin in pools, then top finishers advance to semi-finals and grand finals. The standard format for netball carnivals and championships.
Round Robin League
Every team plays every other team across a season. Standings by points, goal percentage, and head-to-head. Ideal for weekly netball competitions.
Straight Knockout
Single-elimination bracket for time-limited events. Quick and decisive with automatic seeding and bye allocation.
Grading Rounds + Division Play
Initial grading rounds determine team strength, then teams are placed into divisions for competitive matches. Ensures balanced competition throughout the event.
