Frequently Asked Questions
- Can we handle multiple age groups in one football event?
- Yes! You can create separate categories for U8s, U10s, U12s, etc., each with their own rules, pitch sizes, and match durations, all within the same tournament dashboard. Age group silos keep the schedules perfectly isolated while sharing the overarching venue.
- How do tie-breakers work in group stages?
- Playlee supports standard football tie-breakers including Goal Difference, Goals Scored, and Head-to-Head results. You can customize the priority order in your tournament settings to match your specific FA or league guidelines.
- Can referees see their full schedule for the day?
- Absolutely. Once assigned, referees receive a personal 'Magic Link' that shows their entire day's itinerary, including pitch locations and kickoff times. They don't need to download any apps or remember passwords to submit scores.
- What happens if a match is delayed due to weather or late arrivals?
- Our intelligent scheduler allows you to pause, delay, or push back specific pitch schedules or entire tournament streams. The public page and referee apps update instantly, keeping all teams informed without the need for constant announcements.
