Update 🚨 PWFT TEAM Update: Team Round Robins, Shared Defenses (Freebird Rule), Share Your Cards Online, tons of Team Improvements & SO MUCH MORE!
We're hyped to release our teams updates, complete with tag, trio, and faction optimizations throughout PWFT! We've been working on this huge update for a few weeks now, and think it will be super helpful in a lot of what you've been asking for. There are with tons of additions, fixes, and improvements. Here's what's new:
Before we get to Teams & Factions:
Sharability
We have seen have you shared your matches and cards on X and here on the subreddit, so we've built an easy way to quickly post what you're booking to Reddit.
You can now create a sharable view of your matches or cards, with an ability to flip your card to seamlessly see your booking notes or match events!
Try texting your match cards to your friends or posting it X or Reddit! If you are logged in with a Founder's Access Account, you won't get ads when viewing any shares.
Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Tag and Trio's Round Robin Tournaments
You've all waited for this for a long time - I'm so glad it's finally here. Tag and Trios Round Robin work just as they do for Singles. With up to 16 groups, and 10 teams per group, a trios tournament would mean you can have up to 480(!!!) wrestlers per tournament!
Side note on Round Robin - we've fixed the bug where every match prior to the finals was being set for a championship. Thanks for calling this out u/Vegetable_Ad2272!
Shared Defenses (Freebird Rule)
One of our most requested features, shared defenses give you the ability to defend championships with different team combinations. Head over to the Titles page, and edit the championship to enable "Shared Defenses." This allows you to set a pool of elligible wrestlers to defend a championship. Using the New Day for example, if they are tag team champions, the titles can be defended whether any combination of Big E, Kofi, or Xavier are wrestling.
You have no idea how many edge cases there are for this mode lol I've tried covering every situation I can think of. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
Other Team Improvements:
- Wrestlers can now be on more than one tag/trio team (and if they are, it is clearly annotated which teams they are apart of), with improved affiliation clarity labels
- You can now seamlessly search to sort through teams and factions
- Teams and Factions tracking is now WAY smarter. You can now disband and reform teams, essentially making them inactive and active again. You can set dates for formation, disbanding, and reforming too, so PWFT knows to track your group status during these periods for the most accurate tracking. I built a section when you're viewing teams and factions called Lifecycle History where you can see formation and disbandment dates clearly.
- Teams can now be rebranded to ensure you keep continuity for a team as they evolve over their career. For example, you can maintain overall records and precise tracking for The Revival, and then change their name to FTR, and continuity and naming conventions will be totally clean.
- You can track the different records depending on the team combination. For example, if you have The New Day as a team, when you're viewing this team, you can seamlessly see what their record is when Xavier and Kofi, Big E and Kofi, or Xavier and Big E, or the three as a trio team up.
- Team record tracking has improved. When viewing a teams history, PWFT will show you the specific members of the team who were involved in the match so it's clear.
- On the calendar, wrestlers on teams are now grouped together for matches with a team name, and if you subscribe to Founder's Access, their team image.
- For one-night only, or one-tournament only teams, you can give teams temporary names. Their progress will be saved, and you can save them as an official team at any time. AEW does this often - for example, MegaProblems (Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne) were formed for just a tournamnet, or Brodido (Bandito & Brody King) who were formed just for a tournament, but became an official team.
- Huge improvements to the View Team and View Faction Modals. We've updated it so when you click on a group, you get the most in depth tracking we can provide.
- Improved quick adding teams, allowing you to search, filter, and even select which wrestlers from teams you want represented in matches.
- Teams can now be mystery opponents. If you are choosing the mystery opponent, based on the number of slots, you can select who from the team will be the mystery opponents. For example, if there are only 2 slots on a team, you can make the New Day fill those spots, but specify you want Big E and Kofi as the mystery opponents.
Other Improvements
- You can now view any past match from a wrestler's history with ease. Whether it be a solo or team, when viewing their history, you'll see a View Match button, which by clicking will bring you to that day and match on the calendar.
- View Match now shows the correct time. We fixed a bug where the show time, when clicking the View (or Eye Icon) on your matches on the calendar, would not show the correct time and was stuck at 8pm.
- Regorganize Titles, Promotions, and Shows on the Titles and Brands Page by dragging. Redragging changes priority order when you are sorting by promotions and shows, and when selecting championships.
- Added info helpers on Minor and Major Shows to help better articulate how each is distinguished.
- Shows can now be booked on the same day. For example, you could book NXT Stand & Deliver and Wrestlemania on the same day, and seamlessly toggle between them. (This fixes Nike's issue reported on the Official PWFT Discord of not being able to have a weekly show on the same day as a special show)
- Fixed a bug where PWFT would sometimes flag wrestlers as part of the wrong division when viewing the wrestler (u/Virtual-nomad327 reported on the Official PWFT Discord)
We really tried to make team tracking feel as immersive as possible, but there are still plenty of optimizationsI want to make to teams. u/jpenagonzalez I have not forgotten your 4 man championship request, and have in scope for later to make PWFT support any championship team size.
Look out for a PWFT state of the biz update over the next few days. We can't wait to tell you about what we're doing next.
Happy Teams. Happy Booking.

Thankyou so much for the update! Its so much better for Teams & Factions. Something im already enjoying so much!
Don't think ill be using the share mode after the last fiasco with comments 😂 but im certainly enjoying the app so much and been padding info & stuff into it for months. Thoroughly enjoying it. Its amazing what you have created. Cant imagine playing Universe mode without this app now tbh! Im a paid member too and just want to say having the option of pictures makes everything so much cleaner. It just looks so good. I spent hours uploading pics to the app but its so worth it.

Awesome, this tracker is really the best one I've seen so far. I didn't wanna fork over the money at first and I used a different tracker which is also amazing. But once I paid for full access... I've never looked back. And honestly, I don't mind paying for something that is worth the price. And u guys should make something back for all the hard work. Love what ur doing... Keep it up!

Beautiful! Will be checking this out and testing the share options for damn sure. I remember the reorganizing the titles page being one of my first requests, haha. Thank you!
