The software for Swiss rugby
Paak already manages your members, CHF and TWINT payments, and teams. For the FSR, it goes further: XV + 7s formats, Front Row Passport DTN, 4 regional associations (ACGR, AVR, ARVS, NSRV). Complementary to SportLomo, never a substitute.
SportLomo + Paak — complementary
The FSR uses SportLomo (fsr.sportlomo.com, vendor SportLoMo Ltd Castlebar Ireland, same platform as Rugby Europe) for licences, championships, electronic team sheets, scoring. Mandatory. You keep it. Paak does not try to replace it.
Stays in SportLomo
Registrations, licences (by role: player, coach, referee, multiple role), championships (NLA-NLD, Excellence A, League 1, NLFA, NLFB), electronic team sheets, scoring via Game Management app. Licence approval before Wednesday 12:00 noon for the weekend. You keep it.
What Paak adds
Multi-sport (a rugby + other-section club, one platform), Mollie payments in CHF + TWINT outside the licence (dues, tournaments, camps, sponsors), parent communications, club accounting, individual performance, volunteers.
No public REST API
SportLomo offers iFrame embed-only feeds for club websites (scores/fixtures/standings), not a general API. Bridge to Paak today: CSV import.
Advantage: uniform market
All ~50 FSR clubs are on SportLomo. Uniform integration pattern — no fragmentation. Any future SportLomo integration would also scale across Rugby Europe (same vendor).
Swiss rugby specifics
XV + 7s dual-format
The FSR covers both formats with a dedicated 7s commission. The same clubs often field XV and 7s teams. Paak supports dual-format management on Sessions and Rosters.
Front Row Passport (CH-only)
Swiss rugby specifics: props and hookers (front row) must obtain a Front Row Passport issued by the DTN after technical tests with a qualified coach. CH override wired in code (Session 212 Commit 12). Paak tracks this credential.
Categories U6 to U20
Youth tournament circuit: U6, U8, U10, U12, U14. Youth national teams: U16, U18, U20 (boys), U18 (girls). In 2025/26, FSR created the first-ever U20 competitions for both boys and girls.
No federation medical certificate
The FSR uses the Swiss Olympic Medical Certificate template as recommended, not mandatory. requiresMedicalCert is false for Switzerland (Session 212 Commit 7). A club can locally require one.
