League software for futsal and small-sided football centres: Monday night, without the chasing.
4:50 pm
The Strikers are two players short for 10:30, and their captain is talking forfeit.
Teams find their own fill-ins
The captain asks for a fill-in. Players from your other teams who are free that night offer to play, the captain picks one, and the game goes ahead.

Everyone wants to know what court they’re on and what time, and you answer each one by hand.
Players stop texting you to ask
Players see their time, court and directions in the free Futsy app, with a reminder on game day.

9:52 pm
Half the score sheets come back with a question mark on them.
The ref sends the score from the court
Referees tap in each goal on their phone. At full time, the result is on your desk.

11:12 pm
Then you type every result into a spreadsheet so the ladder’s right by morning.
The ladder updates itself
When the ref sends the score, the ladder updates everywhere, players’ phones included. You can still fix any result.

11:40 pm
Next season’s draw has a clash nobody spots until two teams turn up for one court.
Futsy checks your draw for you
Upload the draw you already use. Futsy flags two games on Court 2 at 7 pm, a team typed two ways and a date that doesn’t exist (31 November), and offers a fix for each.
Change any score from the desk
Referees send scores from the court. If one’s wrong, fix it here or on your phone and the ladder re-sorts.
The dashboard, as you scroll. Fix a result: a wrong score from round 3 is corrected in the Edit result dialog, and the Wolves move from fifth to third on the ladder, on the desk and on the organiser’s phone. Export: the ladder downloads as a spreadsheet file, ladder-friday-championship.csv, and opens with every team’s points.
Start from the draw you already have
Upload the spreadsheet you use now. Futsy reads it and shows you anything that clashes, and you can see your own league in about 10 minutes.
Tuesday, 9:02 am
Drop in the file you already use
One game per row works. So does a grid with courts across the top and a tab for each night.
9:04 am
Futsy finds what’s wrong with it
This sample has 5 problems, plus 8 games on Melbourne Cup Day. Each comes with a fix you can take or leave.
9:09 am
Check the totals, and your season is in
Futsy counts what it read so you can check it against your sheet. Then every round is laid out court by court, the way you’d write it on the whiteboard.
9:12 am
Send your captains one code
Captains join with the code, pick their team and add their own players. Futsy writes the message, and you paste it into the captains’ group chat.
The setup screen, step by step. Upload: northside-term4-draw.csv drops in, 289 rows, one game per row. Check: 6 things to check; Apply all 5 suggested fixes, and each is marked Sorted, leaving Tue 3 Nov, Melbourne Cup Day, to look at. Confirm: add Season 1 to Northlight Futsal, 8 divisions, 64 teams, 288 games across 9 rounds, then round 1 laid out by court. Invite: the league join code ZA6MRUD4 and a ready-made message, copied for the captains’ group chat.

Questions operators ask
Something we haven’t answered? Ask us on a 15-minute call (opens in a new tab).
Where do players get the app?
From the App Store and Google Play, free. Right now the iPhone app is with Apple for review and the Android app is in beta, so check with us before you set a date for round 1.
My players won’t download another app.
They’ll want it for tonight’s court, kick-off time and the ladder. Captains add their team, and one tap reminds anyone who hasn’t answered.
How long does setting up take?
About 10 minutes from the draw you already use. Or we’ll do it with you on a call.
What happens when a whole team pulls out at 5 pm?
You post a team fill-in, and another team in your league can take the game, so the court isn’t empty.
Who can fill in?
Players in your league who’ve turned on “Available to sub”. They offer to play and the captain picks. Nobody joins a team without the captain’s OK.
Who assigns the referees?
You do, from the desk. Each referee sees tonight’s games on their phone and sends the score from the court.
Do we have to change how we take match fees?
No. Keep taking them at the desk. Futsy doesn’t collect payments yet.
Does it track forfeit fees and who owes what?
Not yet. Futsy records the result and helps fill the court. Keep tracking fees the way you do now.
What if the referee has no signal, or their phone dies?
It keeps scoring with no signal and sends when it’s back. If a phone dies, you enter or correct the result from the desk.
Do I need to be at a computer?
No. Run it from the Futsy app on your phone, or sign in at app.futsy.app on any computer.
Who is Futsy for?
Futsal and small-sided football leagues for adults 18 and over, from 5-a-side up to 8-a-side.
Who owns our data if we leave, or if Futsy shuts down?
You do, and you can take it with you any time. If Futsy ever closed, you’d get at least 60 days’ notice, a full export, and a refund of any prepaid time.
