Single, double, consolation
Pick the format when you build the event. Consolation rounds keep every team playing all day.
For tournament directors
From a date on the calendar to a live event in an afternoon.
No implementation call. No onboarding queue. You set the fields and the format, and the event is ready to take registrations today.
30 to 80 games across 3 to 8 fields. One weekend, no recovery window.
Seeded off pool play. Every winner advances the moment a referee ends the game.
The schedule engine
Give it four inputs. Get a weekend that fits.
Field count, start and end times, game length, and your tiebreaker rules. The engine drafts a balanced schedule with rest windows between games. Drag any upcoming game to a different slot and the grid re-checks conflicts as you go. Games already played or in progress are locked, so a rain delay never rewrites your results.

Brackets
Brackets that actually advance.
Seeding comes off pool play automatically, and a finished game moves the winner forward while teams are still shaking hands. This is exactly where TourneyMachine breaks down in practice: brackets get rebuilt by hand, printed, and taped to a table, and by noon the paper and the field disagree.
Auto-seed from pool play
Pool results feed the bracket using your tiebreaker order. No hand seeding between rounds.
Live advancement
The referee ends a game and the winner is already on the next line, on every phone at the park.
No paper bracket to chase
Nothing gets taped to a table and nothing goes stale. The bracket on the screen is the bracket.
Player stats
Every play credits a player, right from the scoring app.
When a score lands, the passer, receiver, or rusher gets the credit on the spot. By the time teams reach the parking lot, every player's tournament line is already on their profile.
Passing, rushing, receiving, and interception credits on every scoring playField manager mode: a designated sideline helper attributes plays while the ref scoresPlayer profiles update the moment the game is reviewed

This is what your referee holds. Try it.
Touchdown, PAT, two point, safety, clock. Six taps run a whole game, and every tap lands on the bracket, the standings, and the player profiles within three seconds.
Works the same on an Apple Watch, gloves on, no signal at the far field.

Tournament software questions.
How much does flag football tournament software cost on Flag50?
Tournaments are priced per event, never monthly. Run team registration through Flag50 and the platform fee is $10 per team. Keep registration elsewhere and buy a one-time pass: $99 covers up to 20 teams, $299 up to 60, $599 up to 150, and larger events are quoted custom.
How long does it take to set up a tournament?
An afternoon. You set the fields, divisions, and format, the schedule engine drafts pool play across your fields, and the event can take registrations the same day. There is no implementation call or onboarding queue.
How do referees score tournament games?
Each referee gets an org-issued scoring code and scores live from a phone or Apple Watch at the field. There are no referee accounts to create or manage, and every score feeds brackets and standings the moment it is entered.
Do brackets and standings update automatically?
Yes. Pool play standings settle off the referee's live scoring, seeding follows the tiebreaker order you set, and bracket games advance the winner automatically. Results are public on your event page before teams reach the parking lot.
Can teams register and pay through Flag50?
Yes. Teams register per event and pay online, and payouts land in your account after the event. If you already collect registration somewhere else, you can keep it there and run the event on a one-time pass instead.
