Sound familiar?
Running ultimate frisbee tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Spirit of the Game scoring is hard to track
Collecting spirit scores from self-officiated games across multiple fields, calculating averages, and resolving spirit-based tiebreakers by hand is tedious and inconsistent.
Pool-to-bracket transitions are confusing
Moving teams from pool play into power pools, crossover rounds, or championship brackets requires careful seeding. Manual errors send teams to the wrong bracket and create disputes.
Field assignments across large venues are chaotic
Ultimate tournaments often use 6-12 fields across a large park or complex. Communicating which team plays on which field at what time without a central system leads to missed pulls and delays.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up your ultimate tournament
Choose your format — pool play into bracket, power pools with crossovers, or round robin. Define the number of fields, point cap, time cap, and halftime targets.
Teams register with spirit commitment
Share a registration link. Teams sign up, submit their roster, and pay online. Spirit score submission is built into the post-game flow for self-officiated play.
Run the event with live spirit and game tracking
Enter scores and spirit ratings as games finish. Pool standings, brackets, spirit rankings, and field schedules update automatically for players and spectators.
Formats
Every ultimate frisbee format, covered
Pool Play + Bracket
Teams play round robin in pools, then advance to championship, consolation, or placement brackets based on finishing position. The standard WFDF/USAU tournament format.
Power Pools + Crossovers
Initial pools followed by re-seeded power pools and crossover games before the elimination bracket. Fairer seeding for larger tournaments.
Round Robin
Every team plays every other team. Final standings by wins, point differential, and spirit score. Ideal for smaller hat tournaments and league play.
Swiss Draw
Teams paired against opponents with similar records each round. Efficient for large fields where a full round robin is not feasible.
Hat Tournament
Players register individually and are drafted onto teams. Round robin or pool play with spirit-focused scoring. Great for community-building events.
