Football Studio – Club & League Manager

Beskrivelse

Football Studio by IBPSports turns WordPress into a complete football (soccer) competition platform. Build and run leagues, cups and tournaments, manage clubs, players and staff, record matches with full event detail, and publish automatically-calculated standings and knockout brackets — all from one plugin, with no monthly fees and no external services.

Everything is stored in dedicated, indexed custom database tables rather than as post meta, so it stays fast and portable even with thousands of matches.

Why Football Studio by IBPSports?

• Truly complete and free. Unlimited leagues, seasons, tournaments, teams, players and matches — no caps, no “demo” limits.
• Automatic standings. Tables recalculate themselves from results, with configurable ranking rules (points, goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head, wins, win %, points per game and more).
• Both formats, properly modelled. Round-robin groups and knockout rounds/brackets, including two-legged ties, byes, seeding and automatic winner progression.
• Rich match data. Goals, own goals, penalties, yellow/red cards, substitutions, lineups (starting XI + bench + coach), per-team match statistics and a written match report.
• User-Friendly Interface. Intuitive dashboard for easy management and customization.
• Self-contained frontend. Output is rendered through shortcodes and theme-overridable templates, so it works with any theme and never depends on a page builder.
• Performance-first architecture. Custom tables, bulk queries and CSS container queries for responsive widgets without bloat.
• Developer-friendly. Clean ibps_football/* filters for league types, ranking criteria, standing/stat columns, positions and more; templates you can override from your theme.
