FiXi takes the hassle out of managing your sporting competitions all in one easy to use application. Everything from player and team management to scheduling of your competitions. It is a powerful business tool that allows you to effectively manage administrative tasks and build your customer and revenue streams. Here are just some of the features:
What truly sets Fixi apart is its fixturing capabilities, predominately its ability to generate multiple, basic and or complex fixtures at once. We have worked closely with our clients to help build an innovative and powerful solution that no other system has been able to deliver.
Basic fixtures can be created instantaneously with the click of a single button. See it in action on YouTube.
Teams are fixtured to play each team once before playing each other for the second time. Each team is allocated an even amount of home and away matches. Furthermore, an even spread of time slots are allocated to each team, ensuring a fair fixture.
Clashes are automatically avoided with existing allocations (i.e. other fixture matches, scratch matches and bookings), including matches played on layered courts.
If you're closed on school and public holidays, users can easily skip these specific dates when creating a fixture.
Adding time preferences for each team is made easy using a drag and drop style interface, this coupled with a sophisticated algorithm, ensures teams are fixtured to play at times suitable to them.
Multiple fixtures can be created simultaneously sharing the selected courts and allocated time slots; this saves time, effort and consequently improves overall efficiency.
Each team’s position in the fixture algorithm can be changed to manipulate the play order, a preview of the fixture can then be generated before commitment to the changes is made.
Multiple blocks of playing times can be specified over multiple days, weeks, or even months. In addition, the same courts or alternatively different courts, can be allocated for each block of time, providing the necessary control and flexibility to create advanced fixtures.
Fixtures can be created so that multiple rounds are played every week, or alternatively, on selected weeks, thus creating exciting double header rounds.
Fixtures can be extended an unlimited amount of times over an unlimited number of rounds, this can prove to be very useful since the number of rounds for a fixture is sometimes unknown at the time of creation.
Fixtures will at times need to be edited to cater for any changes that may occur in a competition cycle. With our easy to use interface, manipulation of every match is easy.
The software provides a number of automatic solutions to address common problems. The swap function can for example, allow the user to easily replace a weaker team with a stronger team in a lower grade competition. See this particular swap scenario in our video.
A Finals Series can be created to take place at the completion of a round robin fixture. There are many built in formats to choose from, spanning from one to multiple rounds. Explore the available templates by watching our video.
Fixi’s online registration system takes the hassle out of organizing a new season of registrations. Create your competition in Fixi and wait for the registrations to come in, save time on data entry and alleviate errors. Optionally, request teams or players to make an initial payment using PayPal or Credit Card to secure their place. Watch our explainer video and visit our blog for more details.
Ensure your business stays up to date with the latest technologies. Fixi allows users to create their own online registration forms with direct access to data upon submission. No more tedious data input, no more paper registration forms.
The online registration form can be configured to cater for your specific needs. Select the data to capture, mandatory fields, set age constraints, the maximum numbers of players per team, attach links to 'terms & conditions' and create custom questions. Configure the form requesting the team admin to send out invitations to all players or alternatively allow the team admin to complete the process on behalf of the entire team.
Although online registration payments are optional, a good way of ensuring teams and players are committed to playing for the entire season is to request an upfront online registration payment. The process is simple; specify the fee and we will handle the rest. Once a registration is complete, you can decide how the payment will be allocated within Fixi. Our online registration system accepts both PayPal & Credit Card. Alternative options include the ability to pay at a later point in time or private registrations where invoice payments can be made.
Approved Active Kids providers can now further streamline their processes by accepting vouchers via our online registration system. Learn more by visiting the
official website.
Once your teams and players register online, all data is automatically imported into the Fixi System increasing your data accuracy and saving you endless hours of manual data entry. All you need to do is assign them into a competition and notify them when their first match is, this can be done via email or SMS.
When the new season rolls around and existing teams / players re-register – no duplicate data is created within Fixi, the details are simply updated avoiding the need to merge data.
Keep your teams up-to-date with the latest information by instantly publishing fixtures, results, statistics and ladders to multiple platforms. See our video for a quick overview.

Optionally split payments between players. Each participant can contribute a payment towards the outstanding fee.
Take control and manage all your courts. Our software can accommodate for complex court structures, multi-purpose courts and sport specific courts.
Does your sporting facility have a complicated court structure? Can your football field be divided into multiple futsal courts? Have you had trouble representing this structure with alternative solutions? Fixi puts an end to this common problem by supporting a multi court layering system.
If multiple sports are played on each, or some of your courts, our software can be used to assign as many sports as you like to any given court.
Ensure matches are allocated to each court by restricting courts to a specific sport.
Specify which competitions are played on which court, on what days and at what times.
The calendar displays all your competition matches, friendlies and casual bookings for a given day. For each allocation, you can see the start time, end time and court utilised. All functions that are required for the day to day operations are also made available on the calendar; serving as an ideal platform, to manage your business.
The list view provides a list of all the allocations in chronological order. Users can write notes against each allocation and perform other important administrative functions.
The grid view provides a visual representation of the allocations for the entire day to easily identify vacancies. Allocations can easily be moved around, resized or removed using our easy to use drag and drop interface.
The management of casual court hire is a common requirement for many sporting venues; however, this is often neglected by many of the available software solutions – requiring you to purchase additional software. Fixi delivers a fast-effective solution, that allows users to easily create and manage recurring bookings, that span over multiple days, weeks or even months.
Non-competitive, friendly matches can be scheduled by creating a scratch match and selecting any two teams within the system.
The swap box can be used to switch teams from any match, in any competition on a given day, providing operators with the required flexibility for last minute changes.
No matter how well a fixture is created, last minute changes and forfeits will regularly occur, causing all sorts of headaches. Fixi eases the pain by providing users with the ability to replace teams quickly and effectively.

Take advantage of an automatically generated ladder and end the forever long hours of manual error prone calculations. Each competition has parameters defined for a win, loss or draw. All that is required is for the results to be entered.
Need to override the automatically generated ladder? Fixi delivers a completely customisable ladder where each value can be overwritten. The ladder can easily be reverted back to the original values if desired.
Need a different ladder for different sports? Configure the ladder to use a percentage or a +- difference, decide if bye matches and forfeits should be treated as played matches, choose whether or not the win and loss count is incremented for teams involved in a forfeit and show or hide any column before publishing.
Users can link competition points; this is especially useful for gradings. Teams can move from one competition to another without losing their respective points.
Printing fixtures can be tedious with a great deal of paper being wasted.
