Your league, on one page the whole group can see
Alumni sides, church tournaments, hall cups, the estate five-a-side. Add the teams, draw the fixtures, and the table, the scorers and the results look after themselves — on one page the whole group can follow.
What you actually do
Set it up once, then keep recording results.
- 01
Set it up once
A league where everyone plays everyone, or a cup that draws itself round by round.
- Name it, pick the sport and the format, and say where it is played
- Add teams yourself, or invite teams that already exist on PlayChale — their captain accepts
- A team that joins late is taken in, and the fixtures are drawn again, until the first result
- 02
Captains run their own squads
You are not the one chasing fifteen people for their names.
- Each captain manages their squad and answers requests to join it
- Anyone with the link can ask a captain for a place
- A squad link lets someone add themselves, which saves an evening of messages
- 03
Results, table and scorers
Record the score and everything else follows.
- The table updates itself — points, goal difference, form
- A scorers chart for the sports that keep player stats
- A cup draws its next round as the results land, and a tie level after the whistle goes to penalties
- 04
One link everyone follows
A page for the competition that anyone can open, signed in or not.
- Fixtures, the table and the results, without an account
- Share it to WhatsApp, where your group already is
- Every result lands on the players’ own records too
Where it stops
Worth knowing before you start, rather than after.
- PlayChale never collects or holds money. Subs and pitch hire are settled between you, and you record who has paid.
- Eligibility checks, entry-fee tracking, assigned match officials and the audit trail are the corporate layer, which is in pilot and switched on per organisation.
- Reminders reach the app and phones with notifications on. There is no bulk SMS.
- Under-18s are not catered for yet: PlayChale has no guardian consent, so a competition here should be adults.
Start one and share the link
Setting up a competition is free and takes a few minutes. Add the teams, draw the fixtures, and send one link to the group — they can follow it without an account.
