Kickball, volleyball, soccer, dodgeball, pickleball, bocce.
The configuration is per-league, not per-sport. Pick your rules (scoring, time limits, tiebreakers, playoff format) and you are running. We have stood up new sports in under an hour.
Sports Leagues
Leagues are fun. Running them should not feel like a second job.
Whether it is your first season or your fortieth: registration, scheduling, standings, communications, and per-player payments in one place. Any sport. The same software we use to run our own leagues every weekend in Los Angeles.
Team registration Auto-scheduling Live standings In-app comms Custom signup questions Per-player payments
Trusted by IRL event brands from Los Angeles to Charlotte, Indianapolis, and beyond.
Built by league operators
We started running kickball leagues in Los Angeles years ago. We still do, every weekend. This software exists because we needed it ourselves first.
The Next Fun Thing The league engine
One platform. Any sport. From sign-ups to playoff trophies.
We do not care what your players are kicking, hitting, or throwing. The whole league lifecycle runs on the same engine: free-agent signups, team formation, scheduling, scoring, standings, end-of-season payouts. Built by the team that has run their own leagues for years.
Free agents → teams → seasons → playoffs → repeat.
Players sign up solo or in groups. Captains run rosters. Schedules auto-generate. Standings update as scores come in. Playoffs bracket themselves. Next season opens with one click.
We run leagues with it ourselves, every weekend.
Every feature in here was built because we hit the wall in our own seasons. Spreadsheet hell, payment chasing, schedule rebuilds at 11pm on a Thursday. We fixed the parts that made us most miserable, in order.
League modules
Six modules. One operator dashboard.
Smaller than a full deep-dive, bigger than a feature bullet. A tour of what each part of the platform actually does for you on a Wednesday night.
Captains, free agents, full rosters.
Players sign up solo or as a team. Captains build rosters from the dashboard. Free agents get auto-placed onto teams that need bodies, by skill, by schedule, by your rules.
Solo, with-a-friend, or full-team signup
Captain tools: invite, remove, swap, waitlist
Free-agent matching to under-filled teams
Schedules that auto-generate. And re-generate.
Set your season length, venues, field count, and time slots; we build the schedule. Rain-outs, byes, makeups, double-headers, division play, all handled. Captains see only their next game; you see everything.
Round-robin, divisional, and playoff brackets
Field, venue, and time-slot conflict checking
One-click rain-out reschedule
Live standings the moment scores go in.
Captains enter scores from their phone after each game. Standings update instantly, with your custom tiebreakers, division splits, and playoff seeding. Players check rankings in-app between games.
Captain self-service score entry
Configurable tiebreakers and point systems
Auto-seeded playoff brackets
Game reminders, recaps, rain-outs.
Email, SMS, and in-app. Pre-built sequences for the messages every league sends: game-day reminder, captain intros, weather cancellation, weekly recap. Customize, schedule, send to a segment.
Multi-channel: email, SMS, in-app
Opponent-captain intros automatic each week
Bulk sends and filtered segments
Capture what your league actually needs.
Tack any question onto signup: t-shirt sizes for jerseys, which team they are joining, dietary needs for the end-of-season party, skill level for free-agent matching. Multiple choice, dropdowns, free text. Answers live on the player record.

$5 per player. Invoiced after signups close.
Simple, predictable billing. TNFM invoices you for $5 per registered player per league, once, after signups close. No per-transaction fees, no payment-processor markup, no platform tax on top of the price players pay.
Flat $5 per player per league, no other fees
Captain-pays-for-team or pay-individually flows
Comps, partial waivers, sponsorship credits free
Everything in the box
Twelve things you would otherwise glue together.
The platform is broader than what we list here. These are the things you would notice missing on day one of running a season.
Registration
Captain and co-captain roles
Captains manage roster, invite players, swap free agents, and pay on behalf of the team. Co-captains get the same powers.
Registration
Waitlists per league
When a league fills, the waitlist takes over. Auto-promote the next person when someone drops.
Registration
Team transfers
A player switches teams mid-season: one click on your side, automatic re-rostering, no spreadsheet edits.
Schedule
Multi-venue support
Run one league across multiple fields, courts, or venues. Conflict checking and travel-distance awareness built in.
Schedule
Custom season formats
Round-robin, divisional, double-elimination, or your own format. We have built sport-specific brackets when teams ask.
Schedule
Calendar sync
Players sync their game schedule to iCal or Google. They get reminders automatically, no manual game-day texts.
Scoring
Officiating and ref tools
Ref-entered scores with confirmation flow. Or captain-entered with opposing-captain verification. Whatever your league trusts.
Scoring
Stat tracking
Optional per-game stats (goals, sets won, kills, runs) for the sports that want them. Roll up to season-long player leaderboards.
Comms
Weekly recap automation
Send a recap email every Monday with top performers, standings shake-ups, and upcoming-week previews, without writing it yourself.
Ops
Refund and credit policy
Per-league refund window, partial refunds, credit-to-next-season carryovers. Same refund engine as ticketing.
Ops
Staff permissions
League directors, coordinators, refs, captains: each only sees what they need to. Permissions per league, not per person.
Ops
Your brand, your URL
Players sign up, pay, and check standings on your domain. They see your league. Not us.
Who this is for
Three kinds of operators show up here.
We have onboarded league directors with twenty years of seasons under their belt, and people standing up a league for the first time. Same platform, slightly different first conversation.
Want a platform that does leagues plus everything else?
You know the lifecycle cold. Run your leagues on TNFM, then add speed dating, mixers, group dinners, ticketing for one-off events, whatever else you have been thinking about running. One operator dashboard, one payout flow, one ledger. Migration is straightforward; we have moved leagues mid-season before.
Standing up your first league? We have done this a hundred times.
We have been there. The platform includes opinionated defaults for everything: signup flow, schedule format, scoring, refund window. You copy what works and tweak from there.
Turning weekend rec into a real business.
Pick your city, pick your sport, we hand you the tech. Exclusive territory licensing, hands-on onboarding while the program is still in early days. Claim your city before someone else does.
How it works
Claim your city. Open signups in under a week.
No multi-month integration. No setup fees. We have done this enough times to make onboarding boring on purpose.
Pick the city, sign the contract.
Thirty minute call. Pick your city, pick your sport, sign the contract. That is the whole step.
Your branded league site, live in 24 hours.
Your domain, your colors, your league rules wired up. We do the configuration: sport rules, season length, fields, time slots, refund policy, custom signup questions. Save it as a template; next season is a one-click copy.
Captains do most of the work. Players do not notice the rest.
Signups, payments, schedules, standings, comms: auto-pilot once configured. You handle the curveballs (rain-outs, refunds, ref no-shows); the platform handles the rest.
FAQs
The questions we get on every call.
More on the contact page. If yours isn't here, ask on the call.
What sports does the platform support?
Any sport. The platform is sport-agnostic; you configure rules, scoring, and tiebreakers per league. We have run kickball, volleyball, soccer, dodgeball, pickleball, bocce, cornhole, and operators have built leagues we have never personally hosted. If your sport has a structure, we will fit it.
How does scheduling actually work?
Tell the platform your season length, venues, fields or courts, available time slots, and any blackout dates. The scheduler builds a round-robin (or your preferred format), handles divisional play, and auto-builds the playoff bracket. If life happens (rain-out, ref no-show, venue cancellation), you reschedule one click at a time.
Can players register as free agents?
Yes. Players sign up solo, with a friend or two, or as a full team. Free agents get auto-placed onto teams that need bodies, by your matching rules (skill level, schedule preferences, social, whatever you want to prioritize). Captains can also pick from a free-agent pool.
Can I add custom questions at signup?
Yes, this is one of our favorite parts. T-shirt size, skill self-rating, dietary requirements for the end-of-season party, which team they are joining, how they heard about us, anything. Multiple choice, dropdowns, ranked, or free text. Answers live on the player record and you can CSV-export the lot for jersey orders, dietary tally, whatever you need.
How are standings calculated? Custom tiebreakers?
Standings update in real time as scores come in. Tiebreakers are configurable per league: head-to-head, point differential, runs-scored, your custom rule. Playoff brackets auto-seed off final regular-season standings.
What does $5 per player include?
Everything on this page. Registration, scheduling, standings, comms, payments, custom questions, branded URL, refund handling, calendar sync, the works. Comps and waivered spots do not count toward the per-player fee. TNFM invoices you after registration closes. No per-transaction fees, no payment-processor markup.
Can I migrate an in-progress league or season?
Yes. We have moved leagues mid-season before: players, rosters, schedule, standings to date. We do it together on a screen-share so nothing slips. Players do not see the cutover. They just see a new (better) site.
Stop running leagues on a Google Sheet
Spend Wednesday nights at the field. Not in a spreadsheet.
Thirty minutes. We will set up a sample league together: your sport, your rules. You will see what registration through playoffs actually looks like, under your brand.
