Guides and FAQ

Water polo – FAQ

Can I set up points with draws as well as penalty shoot-outs?

Yes. In groups and leagues you can allow draws (e.g. 3-1-0 or 2-1-0); in the play-off you enter the result after the penalty shoot-out and the winner advances automatically.

Is it suitable for kids' tournaments on a smaller field too?

Yes. The number of players, length of quarters and pool size are up to you – 5 vs 5 mini polo and classic 7 vs 7 both get their own schedule, results and standings.

Which format should I choose for a youth tournament with 8 teams and one pool?

We recommend 2 groups of 4 teams and placement play-offs – every team plays 4 to 5 matches and the schedule fits into a weekend.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run a tournament or league at no charge.
