Golf Simulator League Software

Indoor golf leagues turn slow weeknights into booked bays for the whole winter.

Sell Every League Spot Online

Golfers join solo or register a two-person team. The league fee and waiver are paid and signed at sign-up, and the league closes itself when every slot fills.

Tuesday, 8:12 pmThe winter league posts on Facebook. By Thursday, all 16 teams are in and paid. Nobody touched a spreadsheet.

League Nights on the Same Calendar as Bay Rentals

League nights block the bays they use, so walk-in rentals never double-book. Weekly matchups publish to every golfer, reminders go out before each round, and the leaderboard updates as scores come in.

Monday league nightEight bays, sixteen teams, zero phone calls asking who plays when. The rest of the bays keep renting.

Axe throwing venues

Fill the League Before Season One Starts

Throwers sign up solo or with a team. The waiver and league fee are handled at sign-up, and the league closes itself when it hits capacity. Returning throwers get next season's link before anyone else.

Sunday nightNext season's league link goes out to last season's throwers. By Wednesday, the Thursday league is full and paid.

Lanes, Matchups and Standings in One Place

League nights block the lanes they use, so walk-in throwing keeps booking around them. Weekly matchups publish to every thrower, standings update as scores come in, and playoff brackets build from the final table.

Thursday league nightSix lanes, twenty-four throwers, one bracket on the TV. Nobody asks who's up next.

Does Sports Carnival work for youth sports leagues?

Yes. Parents register one child or several in one order, sign waivers for each minor, upload documents like birth certificates, and pay at checkout. Directors build age divisions and teams, publish schedules to families and post standings as scores come in.

What other leagues can I run?

Pickleball, batting cage and adult rec leagues run on the same system. Every league gets its own registration form, schedule and standings, and they all share one calendar with your rentals and events.

Does every league include a registration form?

Yes. Every league gets its own registration form with custom questions, individual or team sign-up, capacity limits, a waiver and payment at checkout. Registrations land directly on the roster, so nothing gets retyped.

How much does league management software cost?

Sports Carnival charges one flat rate per location with no setup fee. Leagues and tournaments are included on the Pro plan at $299 a month. Marquee at $499 adds a website built for Google and AI search. Card processing is 3.1% + $0.30 per transaction through Stripe or Square.

Can I run tournaments and brackets?

Yes. League Builder on the Pro plan creates tournaments and brackets with score tracking, alongside regular season leagues. It works for a golf league championship, an axe throwing playoff night or a youth tournament weekend.

Do players and parents get a mobile app?

Yes. Golfers, throwers, players and parents see schedules, match times, standings and RSVP status in the Sports Carnival app. Schedule changes push to every phone at once.

Will my league pages show up on Google and AI search?

Yes. League and registration pages carry full metadata and structured data so Google and AI search tools can find and cite them. The Marquee plan adds a full website on your own domain, built to rank.

Can you help us switch from another league platform?

Yes. The onboarding team rebuilds your leagues, forms and waivers in Sports Carnival, imports player records where your current system allows an export, and connects Stripe or Square before you cancel anything.
