TopScore

What TopScore does

TopScore, operated by Fullsteam Software Holdings LLC (DBA Topscore Software), is a cloud-based SaaS platform for sports league and event management, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. The platform consolidates the full event lifecycle — event registration (individual, team, day camp, and free agent modes), team and roster management with bulk CSV upload, payment processing via Stripe with support for payment plans, deposits, recurring subscriptions and membership tiers, fillable PDF waivers, attendance tracking surveys, SMS and email participant communication, facility and field reservations, and practice scheduling. Distribution is primarily self-serve through the usetopscore.com website with a product-led growth motion, supplemented by custom native iOS and Android applications and a direct sales hire (December 2023). Integrations include USA Ultimate for membership verification, MailChimp for email campaigns, Banda Chat for team communication, and Google Analytics 4 and Google Calendar for analytics and scheduling. The named customer base is dominated by small nonprofits and community organizations in niche sports, with PADA (Philadelphia Area Disc Association) as the founding customer since January 2011 and over 6,000 players documented across partner organizations in 2011.

The business historically operated a SaaS subscription model with a paid premium tier unlocking advanced features (text messaging, subscriptions, payment plans); in June 2024 this premium tier was discontinued and all premium features were made free and unlocked for all administrators. Current monetization therefore relies primarily on Stripe transaction fees on registration, membership, and rental payments processed through the platform. The company has only one disclosed funding event — a $208,200 SeedInvest-led round in August 2017 — and has operated organically since with a headcount of 1–10 employees, no disclosed institutional investors, and no parent company. The legal entity is a Delaware LLC with operational and compliance mailing presence in Auburn, AL. TopScore's product surface has expanded continuously since 2011 via public changelog releases (60+ documented updates between 2017 and September 2024) and a 2014 acquisition of FFindr, and the platform has emphasized a "cooperative software" model in which new partner organizations contribute feature ideas to a shared codebase.
