Running cricket tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Ground allocation across multiple ovals is a puzzle
Booking and assigning grounds for simultaneous matches across different venues, while accounting for pitch preparation, daylight, and travel time between grounds, requires meticulous coordination.
Overs-based scheduling varies by format
T20 matches need 3-hour windows while 40-over games need full days. Managing mixed formats or different divisions with varying over counts in a single tournament makes scheduling extremely complex.
Net run rate and tiebreakers are calculation-heavy
Cricket tiebreakers involve net run rate — a calculation based on runs scored, overs faced, runs conceded, and overs bowled. Getting this wrong mid-tournament undermines the integrity of the competition.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Set up your cricket tournament
Choose your format — group stage plus knockout, league, or straight elimination. Select the overs format (T20, 30-over, 40-over), set ground availability, and configure match windows.
Teams register with squad lists
Share a registration link. Team managers submit their squad, designate captain and wicketkeeper, and pay the entry fee online. No more chasing entries by email.
Run matches with live scoreboard updates
Enter match results as innings conclude. Group standings with net run rate, knockout brackets, and ground schedules update automatically for teams and spectators.
Formats
Every cricket format, covered
Group Stage + Knockout
Teams play round robin in groups, then top finishers advance to semi-finals and finals. The standard format for T20 and limited-overs cricket tournaments.
League
Every team plays every other team across a season. Standings by points, net run rate, and head-to-head. The format used by most club cricket competitions.
Straight Knockout
Single-elimination bracket for quick cup competitions. Automatic seeding and bye allocation for uneven team numbers.
Super Over Tiebreaker
Tied matches resolved by a Super Over. PlayPulse supports configuring tiebreaker rules to match ICC or local association regulations.
Multi-Format Tournament
Events combining T20 and longer-format matches across different stages. Group stages in T20 format, knockout rounds in 30 or 40 overs.
