Follow the teams that matter to you and get a private, personal view of their weekend — every kickoff, every goal, every table, updated the moment it changes. Built for the parents, grandparents and friends standing on the sideline, FairGame Sports pulls the whole tournament into one place. No spreadsheets. No group chat. No refreshing a results page between matches. FOLLOW YOUR TEAMS Search the tournament, tap Follow, and the app builds around you. Every team you follow adds its matches to your schedule, its scores to your feed and its group to your standings. Follow one team or five — siblings, cousins, the whole club. LIVE SCORES FROM THE PITCH Referees log results from the sideline, so the score you see is the score on the pitch. Watch what’s on now and what’s up next for your teams, and see the final whistle land before you’ve left the car park. ONE SCHEDULE, EVERY MATCH Every fixture for every team you follow, in order, with kickoff time, pitch and venue. No cross-referencing four different schedules to work out where you need to be at 11:00. STANDINGS THAT UPDATE THEMSELVES See exactly where your teams sit in their groups — played, goal difference, points — recalculated the second a result comes in. RESCHEDULE ALERTS Rain delay? Pitch change? Tournament organisers reschedule from the same system, and the change reaches you straight away. Mute the teams you’re only half-following. ADD TO CALENDAR Export your teams’ matches to your phone’s calendar in one tap, so the weekend lands where you already plan it. RESULTS, KEPT Every completed match for your teams, with the final score — the whole run, in one place. WORKS FOR THE SPORTS YOU PLAY Soccer, basketball, handball and volleyball, in round-robin groups, knockout brackets and group-to-bracket formats — whatever your tournament runs.
