1. Pick the right venue
Tournament venues need multiple courts available simultaneously, parking, and changing facilities. Filter for venues with 3+ courts in the same complex using FirstBookit's search.
Host a Tournament
From corporate cricket leagues to inter-college football opens — FirstBookit's organiser tools handle multi-court booking, split payments, and participant communication.
2. Book all slots in one go
Multi-slot booking reserves 8-12 hours of court time across multiple days in one transaction. One payment, one confirmation, all your tournament slots locked in. No more juggling 12 separate WhatsApp threads.
3. Invite participants and collect fees
Share your tournament page with participating teams. Each team pays their entry fee via FirstBookit's split-payment feature — direct UPI payments, no chasing reimbursements.
4. Run the tournament
Automated email confirmations go to every registered team. Coupon codes let you discount early-bird registrations. Refund management handles drop-outs without manual paperwork.
Tournament formats that work well
- Knockouts — easiest for 8-16 team tournaments. One day, fast brackets, one champion.
- Round-robins — 4-6 team leagues where everyone plays everyone. Best for smaller, regular groups.
- League + Playoffs — 12+ team format with multiple weekends. Most engaging for serious leagues.
- Hybrid — round-robin group stage followed by knockouts. Used for inter-college and corporate finals.
