Football tournament generator
Fixtures, pitches and a proper league table — 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, goal difference and goals scored.
Tips for running it well
Small-sided days
For 5-a-side or 7-a-side, 2 × 10 minutes is typical. The preset uses 20 minutes plus 5 for changeovers.
Tie-breakers
Defaults follow common league practice: goal difference, goals scored, then head-to-head. Reorder them to match your competition rules.
Knockouts need a winner
Draws are allowed in groups but not in knockout matches — enter the result after extra time or penalties.
Youth events
Print match score sheets for referees and post the TV display in the clubhouse so parents always know the next kick-off.
FAQ
Presets are editable starting points, not official governing-body rules.
Can I do home and away?
Yes — choose “Twice” for a double round robin; the return fixtures are reversed.
How do I handle a team that doesn’t turn up?
Mark a forfeit for that match, or withdraw the team to forfeit all their remaining fixtures.
