— Travel/competitive club on TeamSideline?
TeamSideline does parks and rec leagues well. It's a different product than what travel and competitive clubs need — and most travel clubs end up there because someone in procurement picked it without knowing the difference.
— The math
Headline price isn't take rate. Once you stack subscription, per-transaction, per-registrant, dispute, and minimum-volume fees, the real number lands here.

Effective take ≈ ~3.2% of GMV

— Why your registrar is unhappy
Every quote below is from a real customer review on Capterra, G2, Trustpilot, BBB, or App Store. Sourced and dated.
Capterra and aggregated review sites consistently flag mobile UX as a weak point. The iOS app specifically lags behind Android in feature parity.
“The Android version has features the iPhone app still doesn't. Half my coaches are on iOS and have a worse experience.”
App-store reviews report missing enter-key behavior, emails and texts that don't send, and notifications that arrive late or not at all.
“Sent a message to the team and it never went out. No error, no warning. We only found out when nobody showed up to practice.”
Filtering reports requires multi-step workarounds. Export functionality misses common admin needs.
“Just trying to pull a list of players who haven't paid takes ten clicks and a custom report. Why isn't this a default view?”
— How EZ Event Registration is different
These aren't features TeamSideline could add next sprint. They require schema-level, processor-level, and ownership-level choices baked in from day one.
/ 01
Built for rec / municipal parks-and-rec; under-serves travel and competitive clubs
Built for travel, competitive, and federation clubs from the schema up. Multi-org, role-based access, COPPA-native.
/ 02
No native multi-org / federation hierarchy
Federation → club → team hierarchies with payouts, branding, and access scoped to each level.
/ 03
Email-only support, no live chat
Founder-led team with named humans on every ticket — and a real chat surface during business hours.
/ 04
Mobile UX dated; messaging and notifications break
PWA-grade mobile experience built into Next.js 16. Push notifications and email deliverability monitored as first-class concerns.
— Switch from TeamSideline
TeamSideline is for parks and rec. EZ Event Registration is built for travel, competitive, and federation clubs — with the multi-org structure and parent UX you've been working around for years.
