Turn club night into
a proper league.
Swap the sign-up sheet and the rota of "who's free Tuesday" for a real divisional box league — with a singles ladder and doubles boxes running on the next court along. Optional points-per-game handicaps keep every match close, whatever the gap in standard.
Free for players and clubs · set up in minutes · no card needed
Every format, side by side
The best badminton clubs keep everyone playing every week. Run a structured league for your committed members, a drop-in ladder for the rest, an americano for the social crowd and a meet for the turn-up-and-play nights — Tap Leagues keeps them all ticking from the same member list.
Divisional box league
Your regulars split into divisions and play a round-robin box each cycle. Promotion and relegation roll it on.
Singles challenge ladder
Anyone can challenge the names above them. Win and you climb — a quick, low-commitment way to stay match-sharp.
Americano league
Enter solo and rotate partners every round — everyone plays everyone, and the points follow you, not a pair.
Club-night meets
A recurring social session with one-tap RSVPs. Balanced games are made on the night, and subs collect themselves.
A divisional league that sorts itself
Drop your members into divisions and we lay out a round-robin box for each one. Every player gets a run of evenly matched games, and the table recalculates the moment a result is approved.
Cycles roll over with automatic promotion and relegation, so the night stays competitive week after week — and you can export the standings to PDF for the leisure-centre noticeboard.
A ladder that keeps casual players coming back
Not everyone wants a fixed weekly slot. A challenge ladder lets members play when they can — pick someone above you, book a court, and take their place if you win.
You set how far anyone can reach and how long a challenge stays open, and players heading away can freeze their spot so they don't drop while they're off court.
Pairs results, logged courtside
Doubles is where most club nights live. Run a doubles box league alongside the singles, enter each rubber game-by-game, and let either pair tap in the result for the other to approve.
And run the championship night too
Once a year the league makes way for the big one. Seed the draw, let the early rounds settle who's on form, and pull the whole club into a one-day knockout — automatic byes handle the odd numbers so nobody is left waiting for a phantom opponent.
The bracket goes live the moment the first shuttle is served. Players follow the draw on their phones between matches, the hall watches the semis fill in, and the winner's name lands on the table for the end-of-season write-up — sitting neatly alongside your divisional league.
See who's flying this month
Every approved result feeds a live leaderboard — recent form, win rates and all-time records for the whole club, ready for the end-of-season write-up.
Why badminton clubs make the switch
Fair, varied draws
Box leagues mix the field every cycle, so nobody is stuck playing the same three people all season.
Scores at the net
Either player taps in the result courtside; the other approves it. The table updates before the shuttlecocks are away.
Singles & doubles
Run a singles ladder and a doubles box league at the same club, on the same nights, from one place.
Junior friendly
Give the junior section its own gentle ladder so younger players get regular, evenly matched games.
Badminton handicaps — a points start every game
Each player or pair carries a handicap in points per game. The weaker side starts every game with the difference on the board and the game is played to 21 as normal.
- Only the difference counts: +6 against +2 is a 4-point start to the +6 player.
- A negative handicap is a start you give, so the game begins below zero for you.
- The recorded game score includes the start, exactly as called on court.
With auto-adjust on, the winner's handicap drops and the loser's rises after each approved match: nothing for a deciding-game finish, one point for a normal win, two for a whitewash.
Available in box leagues, ladders, tournaments and americano leagues. Members see the start before they play, and the app scores each game from it.
Tap Leagues is free badminton league software and a badminton app for iOS and Android. Whether you run a leisure-centre club night, a divisional members' league or a junior ladder, it handles boxes, matches, game scores and live tables — and when the annual club championship comes round, a seeded knockout tournament the whole hall can follow on their phones — so you can stop wrestling with a spreadsheet and get back on court.
First serve is minutes away.
Set up your league or ladder, share one link with the club, and let the results keep the table honest.
