How the league plan works

Try it free for 30 days. No card needed — set up your league, run your events, and subscribe any time before the trial ends to keep the season going. One free trial per organizer.
One league, one login. Run as many tournaments, competitions and formats inside it as you like. Running a season-long match-play series alongside your stroke-play season? That second league is included in the same plan.
One plan covers one league for 12 months from the day you start it, and renews each year. Cancel any time and it runs to the end of the year you paid for.
Paid by card, plus sales tax where it applies. You get an invoice, and you can update your card or download invoices any time.
Starting next season? Your plan moves to the new season's league — once a year — so you don't pay twice.
Already running a league on Bagpipe? It stays free for 12 months after the plan launches. We'll email you before anything changes.
Smaller league? Discounted rates are available — email hello@bagpipegolf.com for details.
Running several leagues? The Club plan covers unlimited leagues, with up to 4 admin accounts, for $2,970 a year.

Without a plan, a league keeps what it already has — its current season, results and payments — but can't set up a new season, add tournaments, or start taking card payments.

More games. Everything included. Less to pay.

More side games and event formats than any other platform… by far.

Most golf event software makes you pay extra for the things players actually notice: the app, the side games, taking money. Bagpipe puts all of it in every plan, and gives players every game free.

Collecting entry fees and dues

Optional, and off unless you turn it on. If you'd rather keep taking cash, Venmo or cheques, the roster has a Mark paid in cash button and nothing here applies to you.

When you do collect by card, the money goes to your own Stripe account, not ours — you connect it once, Stripe verifies you, and payouts land in your bank on Stripe's schedule. We never hold your players' money.

Stripe's processing fee comes out of each payment. Stripe sets it and publishes it at stripe.com/pricing — it's their price, not ours, and it's the same whether you use us or not.
Our platform fee is 2% of each card payment, taken before the money reaches you — on $50 dues that's $1.00. Your players see one total at checkout, never a line item for us.
Refunds are yours to issue, from our roster or from your own Stripe dashboard. Either way the roster updates.

Before you connect Stripe

Stripe — not us — has to verify who you are before it will move money for you. Worth having to hand:

A bank account for payouts.
A tax ID — an EIN if the league is a legal entity, otherwise your SSN.
A photo ID, and your date of birth and address.

It takes a few minutes, and Stripe may take a day or two to finish verifying. You can set up your league and open sign-ups before it completes — only card payments wait.

One person per league holds the Stripe login. Pick whoever keeps the books.
