Workforce operations, a new category
Paid right. Filed right. Covered.
Tourney Direct is defining a new category in youth sports: workforce operations. Payroll, workforce management, compliance and tax run together, so the people you pay and the paperwork behind them never live in separate systems.
Paid within 48 hours of approval
Direct deposit for every coach, official and staffer, once the operator, club or organization approves pay.
W-2 and 1099 on one roster
Stipends and full payroll side by side, across every EIN you run.
New-hire reports, filed for you
State new-hire reporting for 1099 contractors, submitted on your behalf.
Signed, verified and current

The missing layer
Registration runs your teams. Scheduling runs your games. Tourney Direct runs your people.
Keep the platforms you already use. Tourney Direct is the workforce layer underneath them, under your brand.

Run it back
Never start from scratch again.
Most tools reset every season. Tourney Direct remembers everything, from your events down to your payroll, so every season and every pay period starts where the last one ended.
How run it back worksSeason 1
Set it up once
Your roster, documents, rates and event plans go in one time.
Season 2
Run it back
One step re-creates last year's event with its venues, settings and details. On payroll, copy last period's hours and rates.
Every season after
It compounds
Reliability data sharpens, paperwork carries forward and your records build themselves.
Who it's for
Built for how you run.
Event operators
Tournaments, showcases and camps. Run the weekend, pay everyone fast, run it back next year.

What operators thank us for.
“
You guys have no idea how easy you've made my life. Having you manage all of the payments means I'm no longer chasing down staff, dealing with payment issues, or lost checks.
“
Absolutely loving the new tools and features of Tourney Direct! This has been so easy to set up and use.
“
The feedback from the teams this weekend was so good. Thank you times a million for the extra effort.
“
It was a pleasure working with you and I do like this system. I wish more Tournaments used it because I always have problems with some of the payments not getting to the guys or checks get lost in mail.
