Eventbrite alternative: Fitofan
Eventbrite is known for selling tickets and taking sign-ups for events of any kind. 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 Eventbrite is used for
Eventbrite is a general-purpose event platform: it publishes an event page, sells tickets and collects registrations across every industry, and many sports organisers start there because it is quick to set up.
What it does not do is the sport itself — categories and weight classes, eligibility and licences, seeding, draws, mat scheduling, judging, results and rankings all happen somewhere else.
Fitofan sells the spectator tickets and takes the entries, and then runs the competition on the same record: divisions, draws, judging, live results, rankings and finance reporting.

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.

Questions
Can Eventbrite run a sports tournament?
Eventbrite can sell tickets and collect sign-ups, but it does not build divisions, draws, schedules, judging or rankings. Those steps need competition software.
Is Fitofan an Eventbrite alternative for sporting events?
Yes. Fitofan handles spectator ticketing and competitor entries, and also runs the competition itself — divisions, draws, judging, live results and rankings.
Can we keep selling tickets and only move the competition side?
Yes, though most organisers move both so ticket revenue, entry fees and the event schedule reconcile in one report.
