Plan an entire youth football tournament in seconds
Enter your teams, age groups, pitches and tournament days. MatchFlow works out the competition format, a conflict-free fixture list down to pitch and kick-off time, referee assignments, a full budget with the break-even entry fee, and a printable tournament handbook. Free.
Most schedulers stop at the fixture list.
MatchFlow also tells you whether the tournament breaks even.
Pitch hire, referee fees, medical cover, equipment, insurance and awards are part of the same plan as the fixtures — so the entry fee you quote is a number you can defend, not a guess.
What it handles
Format + fixtures
League, straight knockout, or groups followed by knockout. Automatic seeding, conflict-free scheduling across every pitch, and a cap on how many matches each team plays per day.
Real-world constraints
Minimum rest between matches. Per-pitch opening hours, split morning/afternoon windows, pitches closed on a given day. Teams that can only arrive after lunch. U10s on small pitches, U16s on full size.
Referees as a resource
Drop in your referee list and every match gets covered with no overlaps — and no referee ever officiates their own club. Each referee gets a personal duty sheet.
Budget + break-even
Pitch hire, referee fees, staff, medical cover, equipment, insurance and awards, line by line. Then the number that actually matters: what to charge per team so the tournament does not lose money.
Deterministic, not AI-generated
Scheduling a tournament is not a creative task. You need the same answer twice, pitches that never double-book, and totals that add up when a parent asks. MatchFlow is plain arithmetic and explicit constraints: the same inputs always produce the same plan, and every figure can be traced back to the line that produced it.
