Pay per registration, or pay a flat subscription.

Leagues and tournaments are priced differently. For leagues there are two lanes: run registration through Flag50 and the platform is included, with a fee of 3.5% plus $3 per registration paid at checkout, or keep registration elsewhere and pay a monthly plan (Rookie $99, Pro $299, Elite $599, Enterprise custom). Tournaments are priced per event: $10 per team when team registration runs through Flag50, or a one-time pass sized by team count.

Only if you keep your registration on another platform. A league that runs its registration through Flag50 pays no subscription. The subscription tiers exist for leagues that want the Flag50 toolset without moving their registration over.

That is your choice, set per event. Pass it to the registrant at checkout and your league keeps the full registration price. Absorb it and the registrant pays exactly your set price while the fee comes out of what you collect.

Nothing out of pocket when the fee is passed to the registrant. A league with 500 participants running about 1,250 registrations a year at a $100 average pays $0 to Flag50 directly, because the per-registration fee is handled at checkout by the registrant.

Registration volume unlocks the ladder. At 100 or more participants you reach the Pro feature set. At 400 or more participants the Elite feature set unlocks. Larger operations are quoted as Enterprise.

For a league running its registration through Flag50, yes in the sense that matters. A subscription platform charges the league a fixed monthly bill no matter what. On the Flag50 registration lane the league pays nothing out of pocket because the fee is handled at checkout. The real comparison is league pays nothing versus league pays a fixed annual bill.

A tournament is a single event, so it never carries a monthly plan. Run team registration through Flag50 and the platform fee is $10 per team. Keep registration elsewhere and buy a one-time pass for the event: $99 covers up to 20 teams, $299 up to 60 teams, $599 up to 150 teams, and anything over 150 teams is quoted custom. The pass is one payment per tournament.
