Sound Familiar?

  • Chasing entry fees

    Chasing down payments via Venmo, Cash App, or checks.

  • Brackets built in spreadsheets

    Manually creating brackets in Excel or Google Sheets.

  • Schedules lost in email chains and group chats

    Endless email chains with participants about schedules.

  • Scores written down twice

    Updating scores on paper, then re-entering them online.

  • Five apps that do not talk to each other

    Using 5 different apps that don't talk to each other.

  • “We used to spend more time managing tools than managing our community. Now we spend that time on what actually matters: getting women outside and building something they want to come back to.”

  • “I'm a bar owner, not a software person, and I shouldn't have to be. What's changed with Gametime Hero in such a short time is worth celebrating. They even added our Watch Me! theme song to our site. Now I spend my time on what we're building: a room where women's sports fans feel like they belong.”

  • “I believe our integration of Gametime Hero will make it significantly easier and less time-consuming for our logistics volunteers, while providing a far better experience for our players. After all… WE JUST WANT TO PLAY!”

Frequently asked questions

How do I move my existing group over?

There is no one-click import yet, but moving over is quick: recreate your community, bulk-invite your members by email or share a join link, and post your events. We help groups make the switch all the time.

Get free setup help
Do I need to download an app?

No. Gametime Hero runs in the browser on a phone or a computer, and the people you invite open your link the same way. There is no mobile app to install yet; one is in the works.

Is there a contract?

No contracts. The Free plan never expires, and a paid plan can be cancelled any time from your subscription settings, with no penalties.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it is not the right fit, we will refund you, no questions asked.

Can I export my data and take it with me?

Yes. Your data is always yours to export, and if you cancel we will help you export all of it first.

Built by community people, for community people

We built Gametime Hero because we needed it too.

We’ve seen the problem from both sides — as participants looking for places to belong, and as organizers doing the work to bring people together.
