Documentation
Step-by-step guides for FUTBOLISTA: for organizers — from the competition format to the final standings; for coaches — from signing up to the match line-up.
Tournament Structure
How to describe your competition format so the app builds the groups, the brackets and the advancement rules for you.
Groups + Cup and Plate playoffs
Two pools feeding a main knockout bracket and a consolation bracket, each with its own final and placement match.
Read →Creating a tournament and getting teams in
Tournament card, age criteria and three ways to collect participants: by hand, applications or invite links.
Read →Configuring the structure by hand
Build a structure from scratch or adjust an existing one: stage types and the advancement rules between them.
Read →Individual tournament: one-on-one
A tournament where players compete instead of teams: a 1×1 bracket, results recorded straight from the cell, and the winner moving on.
Read →Rating participants
Criteria, maximum scores and the total: why the maximum acts as a weight and “5 out of 5” is not “5 out of 20”.
Read →Player verification
Document checks, self-registration by link, and how a verification request differs from a participation request.
Read →Running the Tournament
Everyday work once the format is in place.
Generating the schedule
Creating group matches, assigning dates, pitches and kick-off times.
Running a match
Management modes, line-ups, live events, technical results and how results feed the standings.
Read →Draws and penalty shootouts
How to enable the shootout in the rules, record it kick by kick or as one score, and what changes in the standings afterwards.
Read →Broadcast management
Screens and subscriptions, going live on a match, layers over the picture — and what the liveness icons mean.
Read →One broadcast per field
One broadcast per field per matchday instead of one per match: what it saves the operator, what the viewer loses, who it suits and how to turn it on.
Read →Referees
The two referee lists and how they differ, how a referee gets access to matches, appointments and the grid, swapping a referee mid-day.
Read →How the standings are calculated
What the columns mean, how points are awarded and how to configure the criteria for teams level on points.
Read →Certificates for participants
The template, bulk creation, generating images and exporting for print — and where the player sees them.
Read →For Coaches
For those who run a team rather than a tournament.
Coach's guide
The whole path in order: signing up, the team, the squad, the tournament application and the match line-up.
Read →Team player photos
Shooting the whole squad in one go, the round crop and background removal, replacing and refreshing shots.
Read →The team's tournament application
Who plays this tournament: adding, excluding by date, the roster history and printing.
Read →The match line-up
Where the list of players comes from, starters and substitutes, numbers for the game and goalkeepers by minute.
Read →Reviewing a match on video
