How it works

From team list to trophy

Choose a format

Groups then knockout (with a cup and plate), round robin only, or knockout only.

Automatic schedule

Add teams, pitches, match length, breaks and a start time. Squono spreads matches across your pitches so no team plays two at once, avoids back-to-back games where it can, and lets you adjust.

Live scores you can correct

The organiser and scorers enter scores – scorers use a link and PIN. Made a mistake? Correct it, and tables and knockout rounds update.

Follow with a code

Anyone with the tournament code or QR code can follow live on the web or in the app, without creating an account.

Big-screen view

Put the schedule, scores and tables on a TV or projector in the clubhouse.

Link your teams

Give each team a name and colours, and optionally link it to its Squono team.

Entry fees

Collect entry fees without paying fees

If your tournament has an entry fee, teams pay it by bank transfer straight into your account. It's free: there's no payment provider to sign up to, and Squono takes nothing.

How it works

Set an optional entry fee per team, for the whole tournament or for each age group
Each team gets a private link with the amount, your bank details and its own payment reference
Match payments on your bank statement by reference, then mark each team paid, unpaid or waived
Send reminders to teams that haven't paid yet
Your bank details are never shown on the public tournament page

FA rules

Right for younger age groups

For U7–U11, the FA doesn't allow results or tables to be published. Squono's public view for those age groups shows fixtures and “played” only – the organiser can still record scores privately.

For U7–U11 age groups, the public view shows fixtures and “played” only. Results and tables aren't published, in line with FA rules.

Tournaments involving affiliated teams need to be sanctioned by your County FA. Squono reminds you, but can't do it for you.

More tournament FAQs

How do tournaments work?

Anyone signed in can organise a tournament for free, with as many teams as they like. Choose groups then knockout (with a cup and plate), round robin only or knockout only. Add teams, pitches, match length and start time, and Squono builds the schedule across your pitches – no team plays two matches at once, and back-to-back matches are avoided where possible. You can then adjust it.

The organiser and scorers (with a scorer link and PIN) enter scores and can correct them. Anyone with the tournament code or QR code can follow live on the web or in the app without an account, and there's a big-screen view for the clubhouse. More about tournaments.

Can we charge an entry fee?

Yes, if you want to. Set an optional entry fee per team, for the whole tournament or for each age group. Each team gets a private link with the amount, your bank details and its own payment reference, so you can match payments on your bank statement.

Mark each team as paid, unpaid or waived, and send reminders to teams that haven't paid yet. Your bank details only appear on those private team links – never on the public tournament page. It's free: entry fees paid by bank transfer carry no Squono fee.

Are results shown for younger age groups?

Not for U7–U11. The FA doesn't allow results or league tables to be published for these age groups, so the public view shows fixtures and “played” only. The organiser can still record scores privately. Tournaments involving affiliated teams also need to be sanctioned by the County FA – Squono reminds you, but can't do it for you.
