Does SportsEngine track water polo specific stats like exclusions and 6-on-5 conversions?

SportsEngine is a multi-sport platform for registration, scheduling, and team communication. Its core stat tracking is generic and does not include water polo specific events like earned exclusions, kickout vs common penalty distinction, 6-on-5 power play conversion splits, Forced Ball Under steals, or Inside-2m saves. Eggbeater was built specifically for water polo and tracks all of these out of the box.

Can SportsEngine host a water polo tournament with live scoring?

SportsEngine supports tournament scheduling and bracket display but does not offer tap-by-tap live scoring with player attribution, branded per-tournament public spectator pages in the host club's colors, the FINA 3-kickout rule enforced automatically, or trilingual printable game-desk volunteer guides. Eggbeater's Tournament Host tier includes all of these at $199 flat per event.

Which platform should I pick for my water polo club?

If you're a large multi-sport club, a governing body, or you primarily need registration, fee collection, and member management infrastructure, SportsEngine is the right pick — it's built for that scale. If you want water polo specific live scoring, per-player box scores updated in real time, branded public pages, and tournament hosting that doesn't cost five figures per event, Eggbeater is the right pick. Many water polo programs use SportsEngine for registration and member management and Eggbeater for game day.

How does pricing compare?

SportsEngine pricing is quote-based for governing-body and large club tiers and typically runs in the thousands per year, with additional per-transaction fees on registration. Eggbeater publishes flat-rate pricing: $24.99 per month per club ($199/yr), $199 flat per tournament event, and $99 to $249 per league season. No per-seat fees, no per-transaction fees on registration (Eggbeater doesn't collect registration fees).

FAQ

Common questions about Eggbeater vs SportsEngine

No. SportsEngine focuses on registration, member management and scheduling across many sports — not per-player water-polo events. Eggbeater captures goals, assists, exclusions, 6-on-5, saves and more at the player level, live.

It can publish brackets and schedules, but it has no live game-desk scorer, no branded public live-score page, and no per-player box scores. Eggbeater’s Tournament Hosting is purpose-built for game day.

If your decision is mostly registration + member records + large-program infrastructure, SportsEngine. If it’s game-day scoring, tournaments and water-polo depth, Eggbeater. Many programs run both.
