Basketball leagues

Run your basketball league.

Adult basketball leagues: quarters or halves you set, 2 points for a win, captains enter the final, and standings that keep themselves.

What is the best app to run an adult basketball league?

For an adult rec basketball league, Beleeg is a good fit: set your periods, captains enter the final from their phones, and standings update on their own. It is free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.

If you want box scores and player stats, you need a stat-keeping app as well.

Scoring

How basketball scoring works in Beleeg

The default is four 12-minute quarters; most rec leagues set two halves of their own length, which is one setting. Captains enter the final score, and points by period if they want.

There are no ties; overtime decides it.

Lineups

Lineups and rosters

Teams play 5 at a time with a bench. For co-ed leagues you can require a minimum number of women on the court.

Standings

Standings and tiebreaks

A win is worth 2 points and a loss 0. You can change the points.

When two teams have the same points, Beleeg looks at head-to-head first, then points scored minus points allowed, then points scored. You can put these in a different order in your settings.

A season, start to finish

Example: a winter men’s league

  1. 8 teams, Wednesday nights for 10 weeks.
  2. Referees can be assigned with a pay amount per game.
  3. Captains enter the final from the bench; the other captain confirms.
  4. The top 4 play a single-elimination playoff.

What every league gets

  • A schedule built from how many games each team plays and which nights you play. Block out a date and the season moves back instead of losing a game.
  • Captains enter scores from their phones, and the other captain confirms or disputes.
  • Divisions, and a single-elimination playoff seeded from the standings.
  • Players join with a code or register and pay online. Free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.
  • A public page with your schedule and standings.
  • Already running a league somewhere else? Send us what you have and we move it over for you.

What Beleeg does not do for basketball

  • Beleeg does not keep a play-by-play or player stats.
