Futsal Studio – Futsal League, Tournament & Club Manager

by ibpsports

Description

Built for Futsal. Built for Competition.

IBPSports Futsal Studio is a complete futsal competition management platform for WordPress.

Manage your entire competition from one place — leagues, seasons, tournaments, stages, groups, knockout rounds, teams, players, staff, referees, venues, matches, events, standings and statistics.

Unlike a generic sports management system, Futsal Studio is designed around the way futsal competitions actually work.

Create your competition, manage matches and results, and publish everything directly on your WordPress website.

Why Futsal Studio?

Built for Futsal — Futsal-specific positions, match events, second penalties, team fouls, two referees, extra time and penalty shoot-outs.
Manage the whole competition — From seasons and groups to knockout rounds, finals and automatic progression.
Save time — Schedule matches, enter results and manage competition data efficiently from the WordPress admin.
Built for performance — Competition data is stored in dedicated indexed database tables instead of post meta.
Ready for your website — Responsive frontend displays, flexible shortcodes, custom permalinks and search-engine-ready structured data.
No artificial limits — Create as many leagues, seasons, tournaments, teams, players and matches as your competition requires.

Knockouts shortcode – rounds are now listed from last to first (Final first), also in the Tournament shortcode
