Pocket League

Pocket League is a compact tournament manager for football that helps friends, clubs and local leagues organise competitions without spreadsheets or complicated setups. Pocket League lets you create a tournament in minutes, share a join code or QR, and manage group stages and knockout brackets with automatic standings and customizable tiebreakers.

Key Features

Create tournaments quickly with configurable groups, team counts and a trophy name, then let participants join using an instant share code or QR. Automatic group standings and one-tap knockout bracket generation use configurable tiebreakers such as head-to-head, goal difference, goals scored or a coin flip.

Real-time scoring with goalscorer and assist entries keeps individual and team stats up to date, and leaderboards and charts update during matches. Schedule matches with date, time and venue details and browse all results and upcoming fixtures in the Schedule tab.

Club management and squad tools allow owners to build teams, apply to tournaments and submit squad updates for admin approval. Share standings and bracket views as images, export tournament data as PDF, and receive in-app notifications for results and administrative decisions. Multilingual support (English, French, Arabic) helps small amateur and school competitions operate across languages.

Advantages

Pocket League removes spreadsheet headaches and gets tournaments running quickly with a straightforward workflow. Live updates and automatic standings reduce disputes and keep players and organizers informed in real time. Integrated club and squad workflows centralize team management and simplify admin approvals, while export and sharing options make reporting straightforward for referees, coaches and league administrators.

Disadvantages

The app focuses specifically on football tournaments, so organizers of other sports may need adaptations. Participants generally need to use the app to join via code or QR and to receive live notifications, which requires adoption by all teams. Language support is currently limited to English, French and Arabic, which may be restrictive for some international groups.
