How it works

From signup page to standings

LeaguePour runs the parts of a bar league or tournament that eat your time: taking signups, collecting entry fees, building the bracket, keeping standings, and getting players back next week. Here is the whole flow.

1. 1

   Create your venue

   Sign up with your name, email and venue name. A new venue can run one competition at a time free, with every feature.

   • Connect Stripe only if you want to charge entry fees - free ($0) events need nothing else.
   • Add staff accounts so managers can publish and score without sharing a login.

2. 2

   Build the competition

   Pick the game (darts, cornhole, trivia, pool, euchre, poker, shuffleboard or custom) and the format.

   • Single elimination and round robin generate the bracket or schedule for you; Custom lets you run any other format by hand.
   • Choose solo, captain-led team, or full-roster signup, a participant cap, signup dates, rules, prizes and an optional waiver.
   • Save it as a draft as long as you like - drafts never count toward your plan.

3. 3

   Publish and share signup

   Publishing gives the competition its own public page and a QR code to put on table tents or the bar TV.

   • Players register from their phone - no app download. Paid entries go through Stripe Checkout on your own Stripe account.
   • Signup closes automatically at your cap. Your venue page lists everything you have running, and a one-line embed puts upcoming events on your website.

   Run the night

   Close signup and press Start Tournament: round one (or the full round-robin schedule) is generated from the registrations, with byes handled for odd fields.

   • Enter each match score from the venue dashboard; standings recalculate and single-elimination rounds advance from the winners.
   • Open the live scoreboard on a TV behind the bar so players follow along.

   Fill the next one

   Everyone who registered or follows your venue is in your audience.

   • Email campaigns start from a goal - signup closing, starts tomorrow, join the next one, or a winner recap - and only reach players who opted in.
   • Duplicate a finished competition to reopen signup for next season without rebuilding it.
