FAQ
Everything organizers ask before they start.
01 — The basics
What is Dawrify?
Dawrify is football tournament and league management software for amateur and grassroots football. Organizers run leagues, groups, knockouts and league phases with live scoring, standings, player statistics, matchday graphics and a broadcast scoreboard, and every tournament, team and player gets a public page. Built in Morocco, in English and Arabic. Free during early access.
What is football tournament management software?
Software that replaces the spreadsheet and the group chat for running a competition: it generates the fixtures, records results and events, keeps the standings and player statistics up to date, and publishes all of it to the teams and the public. Dawrify does this for leagues, cups and mixed formats, live from the pitch.
How many matches does a round-robin league have?
With N teams playing each other once: N × (N − 1) ÷ 2 matches — 8 teams is 28, 12 teams is 66. Home and away doubles it. Dawrify generates the whole fixture list from the number of teams and the format you pick.
Can I run a Ramadan tournament on Dawrify?
Yes. Kick-offs can be set at any hour, so late-evening schedules after iftar work like any other, and 5, 7 and 11-a-side are all supported with their own half lengths and substitution rules. Standings and top scorers update live for the crowd at the pitch and everyone following from home.
Is Dawrify available in Morocco and the rest of the Middle East and North Africa?
Yes. Dawrify is built in Morocco and the dashboard and public pages work anywhere with a browser. The interface is in English and Arabic with full right-to-left support.
Is it just an app?
No. The app is where fans follow you. The work happens in the dashboard: building the competition, setting the rules, running matchday, making the graphics and driving the broadcast.
Is it free?
Free while we're in early access. No card to start.
What formats does it support?
Leagues, group stages, knockout brackets, groups feeding a bracket, league phases and double elimination — with the rules set per competition.
Does it work for futsal, 5-a-side and 7-a-side?
Yes. 5, 7 and 11 a side are first-class, and each seeds its own squad size, half length and substitution rules — including unlimited rolling substitutions — which you can then edit.
Can I set my own tie-breakers?
Yes — an ordered chain you compose from twelve criteria including head-to-head (as a mini-league or pairwise), goal difference, away goals and disciplinary points.
02 — Running it
How does live tracking work?
Whoever is at the pitch opens the match console and taps events as they happen. Everyone following sees the change in under a second — in the app, on the public page and on the broadcast.
Can I let a referee or an assistant report the match?
Yes — delegate a match and they get the console for that match only, with no access to the rest of your tournament.
Do I need internet on the pitch?
Yes — recording an event sends it straight to the server, so the console needs a connection while the match is running. If it drops, the console tells you and events can't be entered until it's back. Everyone watching is covered either way: their app reconnects on its own and reloads the full match state.
Can I import teams I already have in a spreadsheet?
Yes — download the Excel template, paste your teams or players in, and upload it back. It runs as a job with a progress bar and an error report you can read row by row.
What happens to last season?
It's archived and stays public — the table, every result, and every player's record from it — and next season can be created from it.
03 — Getting seen
How do fans find my tournament?
They search for it in the app and follow it, and it stays in their favourites. Every tournament, match, team and player also has a public web page anyone can open without an account.
Do my players need to install anything?
Not to see the scores — the public pages open in any browser. The app is for the people who want to follow properly: favourites, search, live scores, lineups and stats.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes, for following. Organizing happens in the web dashboard.
Will fans get notified?
Yes — kickoff, goals and results are pushed to everyone following your tournament.
What languages does it support?
English and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout, in the dashboard and in the app. Graphics and player cards render in both too.
04 — The extras
What are matchday graphics?
Thirteen graphic types — nine matchday posters and four player cards — generated from your match data in one tap, in several visual styles, in your club's colours, in English or Arabic.
Do I have to supply artwork?
No. Pick a style, pick your two club colours, and every graphic derives from them. A missing photo or crest degrades to initials and a monogram rather than breaking.
Can I put the score on a TV?
Yes — a standalone scoreboard on its own URL with no login. Cast it, project it, or add it to OBS as a browser source. It has pre-match build-up, a live scene and goal takeovers, and it comes in more than one design.
Is professional football in the app too?
Yes — live scores, lineups, statistics, head-to-head and standings for the professional game, kept strictly separate from your competition.
Can I export my data and leave?
You can export your teams and players to Excel at any time.
