Yes. Through the Play with Purpose program, RecDay provides its event management (built specifically for fundraising, tournament management, and brackets) free to organizations and individuals raising money for qualifying nonprofits.

Fundraising events are tournaments or community events where proceeds support a nonprofit organization or charitable cause. Common examples include pickleball tournament fundraisers, charity cornhole events, school fundraisers (basketball, soccer, etc), alumni events, and community competitions benefiting nonprofits.

Standard Event pricing is designed for tournaments and events that are not raising money for a nonprofit. This can include recreational tournaments, corporate events, club events, and social tournaments hosted by individuals or organizations that do not have a charitable giving component.

These events pay a flat setup fee and get a custom event website plus full access to RecDay’s tournament management suite. In addition to the custom event website, that includes registration tools, sponsorship exposure and management tools, match scheduling and bracket management tools, secure payments and receipts, and more.

Yes. RecDay includes built-in tournament bracket management software that allows organizers to manage tournaments of various types and formats. It includes the ability to seamlessly schedule round robin play, build brackets, auto-seed brackets, schedule matches, manage teams, enter scores, track and display stats, and share or display brackets in real time. Brackets integrate directly with registration, event websites, sponsorship listings, and fundraising tools. They can also be displayed with custom branding to recognize facilities, sponsors, and/or nonprofit organizations.

RecDay is ideal for any bracket-based tournament, fundraiser, or event. Common event types include:

• Pickleball tournaments

• Golf outings and charity tournaments

• Cornhole tournaments

• 3-on-3 basketball tournaments

• 3-on-3 or 6-on-6 soccer tournaments

• Darts or billiards tournaments

• School and youth team tournament fundraisers

• Corporate and community competitions

The platform combines tournament brackets, registration, sponsorship management, and fundraising tools into one event management system for individuals and teams/committees to stay organized and collaborate.

Bracket generators typically only create tournament brackets. RecDay provides a complete event management platform that includes a custom event website, online registration, sponsorship listings, sponsor exposure, and a donations interface. These tools make it easier to promote your event. Plus, as exposure and support grow, they keep organizers organized as teams, sponsors, logos, merch orders, and other important tasks pile up.

On tournament day, the platform streamlines match scheduling, leaderboards, and bracket management in one place with all the contextual information from your event readily accessible.

This makes it easier to organize participants, promote sponsors, manage payments, and run the entire event from a single platform. That means less work, less opportunity for errors and issues, and a more polished, professional event overall.

Yes. Even if registrations were handled elsewhere or your event is already approaching, RecDay can still help you manage match scheduling, tournament brackets, and live results. Get in touch with our team at info@recday.com to get started.
