Comparisons / TeamLinkt
Association ops with AI scheduling — how the two platforms differ for basketball leagues.
TeamLinkt is a modern association/ops suite — registration, AI schedule builder, team app, officials tools and fundraising — with scores and standings that are lighter than a FIBA scorekeeper.
bbstats is for leagues that want the game-day product to be the hero: live scoring, public match centers, playoff brackets and stream overlays, with growing registration and schedule-generator support.

TeamLinkt fits associations that need ops, officials and fundraising first. Federations and clubs that broadcast games and publish rich stats usually prefer bbstats for game day.
Yes — paid team/player registration is available on bbstats. It is not as ops-complete as TeamLinkt (waivers, officials, fundraising), but it covers signup and fees for many leagues.
Free to start. Live scoring, standings, brackets and a branded fan site in under a minute.
