Running a league, the old way
Your season runs on group chats, paper and one tired volunteer.
From the first sign-up to the last trophy, every step is a separate chore. Courtside joins them into one.
Through the seasonThe old wayWith Courtside
Sign-ups
Names, jersey sizes and team lists collected one message at a time in a group chat.
One link or QR code. Teams and players register themselves, and you approve.
Rosters
A spreadsheet per team, retyped every time a player or a jersey number changes.
Coaches build their own rosters until your deadline. Then they lock.
Schedule
Dates and courts agreed by message, changed by message, missed by half the teams.
One schedule on everyone's phone, always the current one.
Game day
A paper scoresheet, a second person tallying stats, a third typing the score into the stream. Three versions of the score.
The scorer taps once. The scoreboard, the stream and the box score all follow.
Live stream
A phone on a tripod and a score typed in by hand, if anyone streams at all. Sponsors get a banner on the wall.
Paste one link. The score bar, stat pop-ups and your sponsors run on the stream by themselves.
Results and standings
Typed into a spreadsheet days later, by the one person who understands it.
Standings, stats and leaders update the moment the game ends.
Awards
MVP decided by memory, opinion and an argument.
Award races ranked by the numbers, with rules you set.
Telling the story
Nobody has time to write a recap, so the season goes unseen.

Record it once.
It shows up everywhere.
On game day your scorer taps a player, then taps what happened. That one tap is the only data entry your league does. Everything below fills itself in.

Questions organisers ask
Before you ask.
What do we need on game day?
One phone or tablet with internet for the scorer. Add a second device if you want a separate timekeeper, and plug any TV or projector into a laptop for the scoreboard.
Our gym wifi is bad. Will it still work?
The tracker is built for weak connections. It keeps taking taps and catches up when the connection returns. Mobile data on the scorer's device is enough.
We only run a one-day or weekend tournament. Is this for us?
Yes. A one-day event gets the same sign-ups, live scoring, standings and awards as a full season.
Our league has its own rules. Halves, two-point games, different timeouts.
Game format, period length, fouls, timeouts and how points count are set per league and can be changed per game.
What do we need to stream with the graphics?
Any streaming app that can show a web page on top of the video: OBS on a laptop, or a streaming app on a phone. You paste one link and the graphics follow the game.
Do players and fans have to install or pay for anything?
No. Courtside runs in the browser on any phone, and accounts for players, coaches and fans are free.
What does it cost?
Courtside is free during early access. Founding leagues get hands-on setup and priority when paid plans launch.
