Events Lite

AI-enabled tournament software

Stop running tournaments out of seven browser tabs.

Events Lite is the AI-enabled platform professional event companies use to run weekend tournaments end-to-end. Describe your event in plain English and the agent sets it up. Take registrations and payments. Run the day. All in one place, integrated with everything else through a proper API.

How it works

From idea to results, in five steps.

The lifecycle of a tournament, from the day you decide to run it to the night you finalise the results.

  1. Step 01

    Set up your event.

    Describe your tournament in plain English and our AI agent drafts the whole setup for you, or fill out the form yourself. Either way: date, venue, divisions, entry fee, refund policy. Brand the white-labelled dashboard with your logo and colours.

  2. Step 02

    Take registrations and get paid.

    Share one link. Teams and individuals sign up, pay, and receive their confirmation automatically. Money lands directly in your bank account through Stripe Connect as registrations come in, not at the end of the event.

  3. Step 03

    Add your divisions and games.

    Set up the divisions your tournament runs and lay out the matches you want to play. Events Lite is deliberately lightweight: we don't try to be a bracket builder, so you decide the format.

  4. Step 04

    Run the event.

    Update fixtures, divisions, and details in real time as the day unfolds. Players, coaches, and families all see the same up-to-date information.

  5. Step 05

    Log the scores.

    Capture results as games finish, from any device. Standings update in real time on the public results view inside your white-labelled dashboard.

Agentic AI event setup

Describe your tournament. Events Lite sets it up.

Skip the form-filling. Tell our AI agent what you're running, the way you'd tell a colleague, and Events Lite drafts the whole event for you. Divisions, dates, fees, refund policy, branding. You review it, tweak it, publish.

  • From a sentence to a published event in under a minute.
  • Built on the same APIs you can call yourself. No black box, no lock-in.
  • Every change is auditable. The agent shows you what it's about to do before it does it.

Everything in the box

Everything you need to run a tournament.

Plain English. No acronyms. The features your operators actually ask for, grouped by the phase of the event they happen in.

Setup

  • White-labelled event dashboards

    Your logo, your colours, your domain. The whole experience wears your brand, not ours.

  • Divisions and categories

    Open, age-graded, skill-graded. Set them up the way your tournament actually runs.

  • Per-division entry fees

    Each division has its own price. Set them once when you create the event.

Registration

  • One link, every entrant

    Share a single registration link; teams and individuals sign up themselves.

  • Coach-managed rosters

    Coaches add and edit their own players. You stop being everyone's secretary.

  • Auto-accept up to capacity

    Teams sign up and are accepted automatically while there's room. When a division fills, registration closes for it.

Day-of

  • Divisions, not brackets

    We don't try to be a bracket builder. Organise your event into divisions, add the matches you want to play, and Events Lite gets out of your way.

  • Edit on the fly

    Update fixtures, divisions, and details as the day unfolds. Everyone sees the change immediately.

  • Live score entry

    Record results as games finish, from any device. Standings update in real time.

Money

  • Direct payouts

    Money lands in your bank account through Stripe Connect, as registrations come in. We never hold your funds.

  • Real refund handling

    Full or partial refunds in one click. Platform fees reconcile correctly.

  • Transparent service fees

    Families see one clear fee at checkout. No surprises, no markups hidden in your cut.

Built API-first

Every action has an endpoint. Every change has a webhook.

Other platforms in this space want to be your whole stack. Events Lite is the only one designed from day one to plug into the rest of it: your CRM, your finance system, your ops tools, your bespoke workflows.

  • Real REST endpoints for events, registrations, schedules, scores, and payouts.
  • Signed webhooks for every state change: registrations, refunds, schedule edits, results.
  • Idempotency keys, predictable errors, versioned releases. The basics, done properly.

Built for integration

Plug Events Lite into the rest of your operation.

A proper API and signed webhooks mean Events Lite connects to whatever your business already runs on. And when something matters enough, like accommodation for travelling teams, we've already built it in.

Featured partnership

Purpose-built integration. Not a Zapier hack, not a CSV export.

Turnkey tournament housing, built in.

Our custom integration with Book Your Block puts accommodation at the heart of registration. Travelling teams secure their rooms when they sign up. You run the tournament. Book Your Block handles the housing block, the rate negotiation, and the family-facing booking experience. One flow for your families, one less vendor for your operations team.

  • Room blocks attached to your event. Families book without leaving your registration flow.
  • Updates flow both ways. Cancel a registration, the housing knows. Move the event date, so does the block.
  • A real revenue line for tournament operators, not a side hustle bolted on at the end.

Push every registration into your customer database. HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, custom.

Money handled right

Direct payouts. Honest fees. Real refunds.

Payments go straight to your bank account through Stripe Connect. We never hold your funds. Families see one transparent service fee, not a markup smuggled inside your entry price.

  • Full or partial refunds with one click. Platform and processing fees reconcile correctly.
  • New Stripe accounts have a short payout hold for risk; existing operators get standard payouts. Nothing hidden, nothing surprising.
  • Every transaction tracked and exportable, ready for your accountant.
