For tournament organizers
Run tournaments your players talk about for a year.
Friendly Wagers handles multi-round scoring, handicap flights, side pots, and clean payouts. You handle the dinner.
Built for organizers
Tournaments and leagues. One toolkit.
Tournaments
Up to 144 players. Multi-round with optional cuts after a configured round (top-N advance). Handicap flights for fair competition across a wide skill spread. Seven tournament formats: Stroke Play Gross, Stroke Play Net, Stableford, Modified Stableford, Scramble, Best Ball, Shamble. Shotgun or tee-time starts. Optional team formats (2 or 4).
Leagues
Season-long standings with weekly events, member handicap management, and per-week leaderboards. Segmented inside the Tournament tab so organizers manage tournaments and leagues from one place.
Side pots and contests
Eight side-pot types. Per-hole CTP and LD. Place-based payouts.
Eight side-pot types built in: Skins field, closest to pin (CTP), longest drive (LD), straightest drive, birdies, eagles, ace (hole-in-one), and a custom pool you define.
Per-hole CTP and LD contests are configurable in tournament setup. Place-based payouts up to your top-N finishers. Buy-in and payout config per pool.
Why organizers choose Friendly Wagers
Tournament setup in eight minutes, not two hours.
Time saved
Pick the format, add the field, share an invite code. Eight minutes from "we should run a tournament" to "send the link to the chair." No spreadsheets. No printouts. No Sunday-morning calculator panic.
Player experience
Live leaderboards on every player's phone during play. Flight standings update as scores come in. The kind of polish that gets the event talked about until next year's invitations go out.
Accurate to the penny
Forty-four game-format engines, USGA-aligned handicap math, settlements that net to zero. Validated against canonical golf rules, not improvised on the back of a napkin.
No nickel-and-diming
One Premium subscription. Unlimited tournaments, unlimited players, no per-event fees, no add-on modules. $2.99/month or $24.99/year covers the whole thing.
Pricing
Tournament management is included in Premium.
Per-organizer Premium covers an unlimited number of tournaments and players. The enterprise alternatives start at $1,300/year and scale per event. We're $24.99/year — designed for member-organizers and chairs, not enterprise procurement.
What's included
One Premium subscription. Unlimited tournaments. Unlimited players. No per-event fees. The full 44-game format library. The Vault analytics across every event. Round-summary PDFs. Live leaderboards. All covered by the organizer's Premium subscription — $24.99 a year, the same subscription that unlocks everything else.
