Who it is for
Tournament trail software built for the trail director
Open entry, real entry fees, and a points race that has to be right every week.
A trail is not a club. There is no membership roll and no meeting — anglers pay to enter, fish the events they can make, and chase a points standing that decides the year. That means two things have to be airtight: taking entries cleanly, and keeping a standings table nobody can argue with. ReelRank is built for the person who runs that trail on nights and weekends.
- Built for
- Open, entry-fee trails
- Entry
- Anglers register themselves online
- Cost to start
- Free while in beta
The standings are the product
On a trail, the season-long points race is the thing people care about most. It is also the thing most likely to eat your week — recalculating after every event, fielding "where do I sit" texts, and explaining a drop-week rule to someone who did the math differently than you did.
ReelRank keeps the standings itself. Score an event and the points move on their own, drop-weeks and best-N included, on a public page anyone can check without asking you.
- Points recalculated automatically after every event
- Best-N / drop-week rules applied consistently, not by hand
- A public standings page that answers "who is leading" for you
Take entries without chasing anyone
Open entry is where trails leak time and money — a Facebook comment here, a Venmo there, a texted boat number the morning of. Let anglers enter each event from your public page, accept the rules and waiver up front, and show up already on the list.
- Online entry per event, with waivers and rules accepted at sign-up
- One roster instead of a comment thread and a notes app
- Randomize boat numbers with a click — no 5am chip draw
One season, ending in a championship
Set up the season, add your events, and let the year run. When it is time for the classic or championship, qualification comes straight from the standings anglers have been watching — not a spreadsheet you rebuild the week before.
- Championship qualification pulled from the season standings
- Two-day championship events supported
- The trail keeps its history when you hand it off
Priced for a trail, not a company
Trails run on entry fees, and a per-angler software bill quietly eats the payout. ReelRank is priced per organization with no charge per angler, and the free tier runs a full season — so you can put a whole year through it before spending a dollar.
- Per-organization pricing — never per angler
- Free tier runs a complete season
- Free for everyone while we are in beta
Common questions
- What is the best software for running a bass tournament trail?
- ReelRank is built for open, entry-fee trails: anglers enter each event online, you score at the ramp, and a season-long points standing updates itself into a championship. It is free for every trail while we are in beta.
- Can it handle a season-long points race with drop weeks?
- Yes. Standings recalculate after every event, and best-N / drop-week scoring is applied automatically and identically for everyone, so the points race is never a manual spreadsheet.
- Do anglers register themselves for each event?
- Yes. Anglers enter from your public trail page and accept your rules and waiver at sign-up, so they arrive already on the roster instead of in a group chat.
- What is the difference between a trail and a club on ReelRank?
- A club usually has members, meetings, and votes; a trail is open-entry and driven by the points race. ReelRank runs both, but this page is set up around the open, entry-fee trail. If you run a member club, see the bass club page.
- Can we run our championship from the season standings?
- Yes. Championship and classic qualification comes directly from the standings, including two-day championship events, so you are not rebuilding a qualifier list by hand at the end of the year.
- Is there free software for a tournament trail?
- ReelRank has a free tier that runs a full season end to end — entry, scoring, and standings. Everything is free for all trails while we are in beta.
