Why League Night sits between other tools

Scoring apps, tournament platforms, and player profiles already exist and many are good. League Night isn’t trying to replace them. The problem is the gap between them—between sign-in and tee-off, where a pile of manual work lives and no one owns it.

Context / Problem

Between sign-in and tee-off lives a pile of manual work: organizing players, assigning cards, tracking money, and handling exceptions. No one owns that layer, so directors do it themselves, disconnected from the tools they use before and after the league night.

Decision / Direction

League Night is built to play well with others. It preloads players from existing systems, exports data cleanly, hands off results without lock-in, and remains useful as the ecosystem changes. It’s an admin companion, not a walled garden.

Why this works

By not trying to be everything, scope stays manageable, UX stays focused, and the tool remains useful as the ecosystem changes. League Night exists to make league nights smoother—not to win feature comparisons or replace tools that directors already trust.
