Four registration setups, not one team price

OpenSports tells league admins that a registration option is how captains and players join, combining a payment model with dates. The article lists four setups. A league can turn on more than one.

• Captain pays in full. The admin sets a team price. The captain pays it when the team is registered. Teammates are not charged again in the app, and the captain settles with them off the app. The article says this option has no down deposit.
• Fixed price split. The admin sets one price per player. Everyone who joins, including the captain, pays that price to the league. The captain cannot assign a different dollar amount. The article says there is no down deposit.
• Custom payment split. The admin sets the total team cost and a deadline. The captain decides how much each teammate pays. The article says this is how a captain can charge goalies or part-time players less, and that a down deposit can be set up.
• Free agents. The admin sets one price for players who join without a team. The article recommends this for youth leagues that have no captains.

The same article shows an example mix, not a current rate card: 16 team registrations at $2,000, 16 split-payment registrations at $180 per player, and 15 free-agent registrations at $200, dated January 12 to February 12, 2021. It also says a team that misses a minimum roster can be removed with refunds, filled with free agents, or left in the league at a revenue loss for the organizer. Those are the admin’s choices in that product.

OpenSports states its league and tournament transaction fees as 5% plus $0.30, which it breaks down as a Stripe processing fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 and an OpenSports service fee of 2.1%. It says a refund costs the organizer the Stripe fee. On a $5 ticket, its example is $0.45. This site does not charge that fee and does not process the payment.
