The full lifecycle
Registration day to the final table
Six stages, one platform, nothing exported between tools.
Registration and payment review
Build the form and share one link. Players pay any entry fee to your UPI ID, then stay Pending until you review their proof and approve them.
Teams and squads
Create teams, assign owners, and build squads by hand or through an auction. Squad limits are enforced as you go, not discovered at the end.
A live player auction
An IPL-style auction runs inside the platform. Real-time bidding on every device, purse enforcement, a big-screen broadcast link and a live hub for each team owner.
Match scheduling
Generate a round robin, knockout or group stage, then set grounds and start times and review the whole schedule before anyone sees it. Any fixture stays editable.
Live scoring and the table
Score ball by ball from a phone, or record a finished result. Points, net run rate and player statistics follow from it without being entered twice.
Reports you can hand over
Branded PDFs for squad rosters, auction results and unsold players. Registrations export to CSV for anything else you need to do with them.
Straight answer
Where this fits, and where it does not
Worth knowing before you sign up rather than halfway through setting a tournament up.

Sizing
Will it fit what you are running?
Team count is the only thing that decides your plan, and player limits scale with it. Pricing is per tournament, not per month, so a club running one season a year pays once a year.
Entry fees you collect from players never pass through us. They go to your own UPI ID, so there is no commission on them at any tier.
| Tournament size | Plan | Player limit | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 teams | Free | 75 players | Free |
| 4 to 32 teams | Paid | 25 players per team | $6 per extra team |
| Every plan | Same | Every feature | No subscription |

Scheduling
Grounds, start times, and the rain that moves them
A generated fixture list is right on the day it is made. A season is not, so the schedule here belongs to the competition rather than to a document.
Round robin, knockout or groups, for any team count, with byes handled for odd numbers. Each match carries a date, a start time and a ground, and a fixture you edit by hand survives a regeneration instead of being overwritten by it.
That is the difference between a scheduler and a fixture list. Across a season a side withdraws, a ground gets double-booked, and a washed-out match needs a reserve day. Moving one match here updates the public page, the table and every player's fixture list at once, rather than starting an argument in a group chat about which version is current.
Only need the list? The free cricket fixture generator builds one with no account, or work out how many matches fit in a day.
The people behind the tournaments.
We put the auction up on a projector and the hall went quiet every time a bid came in. First time it felt like an event instead of a meeting.
Players registered themselves with photo, role and bowling style. We used to spend a week collecting that over WhatsApp and half of it still came in wrong.
I hammered a player to the wrong team and undid it in a second, in front of the whole room. The bidding just carried on.
The squad and auction PDFs at the end are what the committee actually wanted. Every player, base price and final bid on record, and nobody typed it up.
Entry fees came in over UPI straight to my own account, with the payment screenshot sitting on each registration. No cash box and no register.
Our second season took one evening to set up. The format, the purse and the bid steps were already the way we wanted them.
Good to know
Questions organizers ask before signing up
Scope
What does cricket tournament management software actually do?
It brings registration, payment-proof review, team and squad building, player auctions, fixture planning and recorded results into one place. In CricketOrganizer, players can register online and pay directly to your UPI ID; you review proof before approval. You can then assign squads or run an auction, build and review fixtures, and share a public page with the schedule and points table.
Does it do live ball-by-ball scoring?
Yes. Matches are scored ball by ball across limited-overs, box, pair, Test and Hundred formats, producing a live score, a public match centre and a full scorecard. The points table, net run rate and player statistics all derive from the same delivery log rather than being entered separately, so they cannot disagree with the scorecards. A scorer can keep working with no signal at the ground and the deliveries sync when the connection returns. You can also hand one match to one scorer by link or QR code without giving them an account.
Scheduling
Can it schedule matches across grounds and time slots?
Yes. Generate the fixture list for your format, then set a date, a start time and a ground on each match. Odd team counts get automatic byes, and the whole schedule is reviewed before you publish it rather than after. Any individual fixture can be moved, re-grounded or renumbered afterwards without regenerating the rest, and a hand-edited fixture survives a regeneration instead of being overwritten.
How do I know the schedule fits the days I have?
Work it out before you build it. The fixture duration calculator takes your overs, team count and format and tells you how many match slots a day actually holds, which is the number that decides whether a 12-team round robin fits one weekend or needs three. Plan the capacity first, then generate the fixtures to match.
Cost
Is there a free plan, and what is the catch?
Up to 3 teams and 75 players is free, with no card and no trial clock. The catch is the team count: at the seventh team you either pay per extra team or move to Pro. Entry fees you collect from players are not touched either way, because they go directly to your own UPI ID rather than through us.
Payments
How do entry fees reach me?
Directly. You set a fee and your UPI ID, and the player pays you through an auto-generated UPI QR, then uploads a screenshot as proof. You verify it manually from the dashboard. There is no automatic payment confirmation and we take no commission on registration fees.
Setup
How long does it take to get a tournament running?
Creating the tournament and sharing a registration link takes a few minutes. The real timeline is set by your players filling the form in. Organizers who already have their player list can skip ahead by importing it from a spreadsheet.
Formats
Which formats and tournament sizes does it handle?
The Smart scheduler is for round robin and home-and-away planning. Knockout and group templates are available, but a knockout stage needs a power-of-two number of teams (4, 8, 16), so decide and document any byes before you create it. The fixture-duration calculator is useful for comparing round robin, knockout and group-plus-knockout capacity before you build the final schedule.
