TournamentInABox alternative: Fitofan

TournamentInABox is known for point-sparring and forms tournaments run by schools and independent promoters. Fitofan covers the same event workflow and adds membership, rankings, ticketing and payments in one platform used by 13,000+ organisations across 60+ countries and 70+ sports.

What TournamentInABox is used for

TournamentInABox is used by martial arts schools and independent promoters to register competitors, build divisions and run scoring at open tournaments.

That workflow is event-shaped: set up the tournament, take entries, print the divisions, score the rings, publish placings.

Fitofan runs the same event workflow and adds the organisation around it — member and licence registers, multi-event seasons, national and regional rankings, ticketing and payments in one record.

Why organisations switch to Fitofan

One system instead of several tools

Registration, membership, brackets, judging, results, rankings, ticketing and payments run inside the same record, so an athlete entered once stays connected to every event, result and ranking point that follows.

Built for federations, not only for single events

Fitofan keeps club and member registers, licence and eligibility status, provincial or regional structures and multi-season history — the layer a governing body needs above individual tournaments.

Any sport, any judging model

Bracket sports, mat sports, scored and judged disciplines, timed and distance events and league formats are all configurable, with judging models set per event instead of hard-coded per sport.

Revenue in the same place

Entry fees, membership dues and ticket sales are collected through the platform, and Fitofan Pay handles card processing in Canada and the United States.
