Tournament Mode
Record the summer blitz. Protect your season.
Take a squad to a Sunday six-a-side, log every goal, standout and clean sheet, and keep all of it out of your league stats.
Keep the day
Two ledgers, on purpose
A goal in a ten-minute game on a quarter-size pitch is a different event from a goal in a league fixture. So Trac keeps them apart. A tournament gets its own record, its own goals, its own clean sheets, and none of it touches the season table.
There is a line on the setup screen that says it plainly: these games don't count toward the season record. Different format, different ruler. Tournament fixtures are excluded from every season calculation at the source, not just hidden in the interface.
What tournament mode does
Built for a touchline with a whistle going and someone's dad asking what time the next one is.
Never touches your season
Every tournament goal, appearance and clean sheet sits in its own ledger. Your league table reads exactly the same on Monday as it did on Saturday.
Quick Entry scoring
Plus and minus steppers for the score, tap a name for who scored, tap again for a standout. A whole game logged in fifteen seconds while you walk to the next pitch.
Fair-play starts tracker
See who has had the fewest run-outs and who is starting back-to-back, so every kid gets their turn across a long day.
A formation per game
The same formation builder as the rest of the app, small-sided presets included. Load a saved shape and it drops straight onto the board.
Player of the Tournament
At the end you pick one. Trac suggests whoever collected the most standouts across the day, then gets out of the way and lets you choose.
Any format
5, 6, 7, 9 or 11-a-side, with 7 as the default because that is what most summer tournaments actually are. Halves from one to straight through.
Quick Entry
Score a game in fifteen seconds
Quick Entry is a scoring sheet built for exactly the moment you are in. Set the score with the steppers, mark who played, tap the scorers. It records goals and nothing else, on purpose, so you can finish a game while you are already walking to the next one.
Everyone in the squad counts as having played unless you say otherwise. Tap the one kid who sat that game out. A sub who came on still played.
Fair game time
Nobody sits out all day
Across five or six games it is easy to lose track of who has had a game and who has spent the morning on the grass. Trac keeps the count for you. It highlights the players with the fewest starts so far and warns you when someone is about to start back-to-back.
Not tactics. Just the quiet fairness that keeps parents happy and keeps every kid in the tournament.
The rest of the day, in your pocket
Games list, formation per game, scorers and standouts. All from the touchline, all kept out of the season.
How a tournament day goes
Set it up before you leave the house
Name it, pick the format, pick your squad. About a minute. You will not do it in the car park, so do it over breakfast.
Score each game as you walk
Steppers for the score, a tap for the scorer, a tap for a standout. Add teams to the group as the day throws them at you.
Pick Player of the Tournament
At the end you choose one. Often not the top scorer. The nine year old who went in goal because nobody else would. A computer cannot see that. You can.
Common questions
Taking a squad somewhere this summer?
Tournament mode is free, like the rest of a Trac season. Set one up before you leave. For the full story on why the two ledgers matter, read Record the Day, Protect the Season.
