Fixtures to Final Weigh — All in One
Clubnest is modern angling software for match organisers. Publish fixtures, take entries and pools online, run peg draws, record digital weigh-ins with photos and push live leaderboards to your website in seconds. Sections, teams, series points and payouts are handled automatically with a full audit trail.
Whether you’re a village match fishing club, an angling association running leagues across multiple venues or a commercial fishery with weekly opens, Clubnest replaces spreadsheets and clipboards with one connected workflow.
Fixture Manager
Build calendars with capacity limits, reserve lists and pools. Automatic reminders, ICS feeds and clash warnings help keep things tidy.
Entries & QR Tickets
Enable online booking for opens or members-only events, accept optional pools and issue QR tickets for instant bankside validation.
Peg Draws
Run random or seeded draws with sectioning, team constraints and no-clash rules. Publish a large clipboard view for the morning briefing.
Digital Weigh-In
Use a mobile-friendly weigh board to capture per-net weights and photos. Auto totals, DQ reasons and edit history reduce disputes.
Live Leaderboards
Overall, section and team leaderboards update instantly. Share read-only links or embed tables on your Clubnest site.
Pools & Payouts
Configure default and superpools, let Clubnest calculate splits and export printable payout sheets with a single click.
Teams & Series
Support pairs, fours and custom team sizes. Choose series points systems, dropped rounds and tie-break rules per competition.
Peg Maps & Notes
Upload peg maps, store depth notes and view historical results per peg to plan fair layouts and parity across sections.
Compliance & Safety
Generate risk assessments, attendance lists and incident/accident logs. GDPR-friendly audit trails keep everything accountable.
A Complete Match Management Workflow
1) Plan and publish fixtures
Create single matches, series or full seasons in minutes. Add venues, lakes and pegs; define sections and team formats; set pricing, pools and capacity. Clubnest generates a public page with all the details and a private organiser view with tools you’ll actually use on match day.
2) Take entries and manage waiting lists
Anglers pre-book online from any device. Optional add-ons (e.g., superpools) are collected at checkout. If a match fills, reserve lists kick in automatically and you get a clean, exportable register for the morning.
3) Run fair peg draws
Choose random or seeded draws, add section rules and avoid placing team members together if you need to. As soon as you confirm, Clubnest publishes a large peg board view and updates the entry list, so the queue at the hut moves quickly.
4) Weigh quickly with fewer mistakes
Record per-net weights with photos at each peg. Clubnest totals automatically, flags anomalies and logs edits with who, when and why. It’s faster than paper, clearer than spreadsheets and removes arguments later.
5) Results, payouts and series standings
Overall and section results appear instantly. Series points and tables update across your season without manual work. Export CSVs for committee reports, generate payout sheets and post a formatted summary straight to your Clubnest site and socials.
Connect Once
Stripe for payments and refunds, calendar feeds for fixtures, and optional email list tools keep communications tight.
Built for Busy Weekends
Bankside screens are touch-optimised and work under poor signal. Sync resumes automatically when reception returns.
Roles & Permissions
Assign organisers, weigh stewards and media roles. Each action is permission-checked and logged for transparency.
What Is Match Fishing Software?
Match fishing software is purpose-built technology that replaces paper forms, ad-hoc messaging and disconnected spreadsheets. The best platforms centralise fixtures, entries, peg draws, weigh-ins, leaderboards and payouts so clubs can run consistent, fair competitions and publish results quickly.
When choosing angling club software, look for bankside-ready tools, offline support, audit trails, section and team logic, series scoring, printable outputs, and GDPR controls. Clubnest is designed around those needs because we run matches ourselves.
