It starts with the
Live Score.

Flag50 is league and tournament management software for flag football organizations. It runs everything an organizer needs in one place: public event pages, team and player registration with payments, division and pool setup, AI-assisted scheduling, referee assignment and dispatch, live scoring during games, automatic standings and bracket advancement, refunds and financial reporting, and shareable player profile pages. It is built by Stact Inc. specifically for flag football, not adapted from a generic youth-sports platform.

Yes. Flag50 supports two registration modes. In flat-team-fee mode, a coach pays one entry fee for the team. In per-player mode, the platform generates a unique team registration link and each player or parent pays their own portion directly. Per-player payment is one of Flag50's main differentiators. Most competing platforms require the director to collect all funds from the coach, which leaves the coach chasing parents on Venmo. With Flag50 the money lands in the director's account as each player signs up.

The director enters the basics: field count and names, start and end times, game duration, and any break windows. The AI-assisted scheduling engine generates a draft schedule that balances field usage and gives every team a reasonable rest window between games. The director sees a visual schedule grid with conflict detection and can drag and drop any game to override the engine. Schedules export to PDF or CSV and have a public share link for coaches and parents.

Flag50 has two referee tracks. For tournaments, the director sends the schedule to the officiating company, the company broadcasts open slots to its referees, refs accept the assignments they want, and the system sends reminders 72 hours out, 24 hours out, and the morning of the game. For weekly leagues, standing assignments auto-populate each week, and open slots broadcast to the referee pool whenever someone is unavailable. On game day, referees check in through a geo-fence at the field, check-in time is logged automatically, and the director gets a late or no-show alert if a ref does not appear.

Every player who plays in a Flag50 league or tournament gets a shareable profile page. Stats (touchdowns, interceptions, flag pulls, completions, anything tracked by the referee scoring app) populate automatically as games are scored, with no manual entry by the coach or parent. The profile shows highlights, game history, and cross-season performance, and the player can share the URL with college coaches, recruiters, or on social media. Cross-tournament player rankings and digital player cards are on the roadmap.

SportsEngine has solid registration but no referee tooling and a complex admin interface. TourneyMachine has strong bracket displays but advancement logic is unreliable in practice and the UX is dated. LeagueApps is built for season-long league management and does not handle tournaments or referees. Flag50's edge is the combination none of them ship: live referee scoring at the core, with registration, scheduling, referee dispatch, auto-populated player profiles, and age and grade verification through our Ankored partnership (rolling out now), all under one login.

Yes. Flag50 is partnering with Ankored to verify player age and grade. Parents upload documents from their phone, Ankored's AI validates them with expert review on anything flagged, and most verifications complete within 24 to 72 hours. Each verified player carries a digital badge visible to the director on the team roster, and that badge is portable, so once a player is verified it travels with them across organizations. Ankored is HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 Type II certified, and COPPA compliant, with automatic document deletion after verification.

Yes. The director can issue one-click full refunds or partial refunds directly from the registration record. Refunds flow back through the original payment method. The refund and any partial amount are recorded against the registration so the financial reports stay accurate.

Directors can export a revenue summary broken out by division, registration type, and date range. Expense tracking covers referee payroll and venue costs. The net-proceeds report rolls everything up per tournament or per season and exports to CSV or PDF in an audit-ready package. Schedules, brackets, and rosters also export to CSV or PDF.

Flag50 supports youth and adult flag football, single-weekend tournaments, multi-week seasons, and hybrid season-plus-playoff formats. Divisions can be organized by age group (8U, 10U, 12U, 14U) or by grade (3rd/4th, 5th/6th). Game length, scoring system, and tiebreaker order (win/loss, then points allowed, then point differential, then head-to-head, then coin flip) are all configurable per division.
