They take all weekend, raise a few hundred dollars, and burn out your team. Your program deserves better.

The One Point Bowl format for soccer is built around the penalty kick — the most dramatic individual moment in the sport. The ball is placed on the spot. Everyone watches. One shot. No second chance.
Each match plays out in 90 seconds. Two competitors, one spot, one goal. Win or go home. A 64-player bracket closes in under 2 hours on a single pitch, or faster across multiple pitches simultaneously.
Single elimination removes all cushion. Every kick carries the full weight of elimination. That pressure is what makes it riveting for spectators — even if the competitors are all friends.
For fundraising:$20 entry across 64 players is $1,280 raised in one afternoon. Add a "spot kick challenge" for donors at $10 per attempt, coached by your players, and you're doubling that. The format is lean, repeatable, and deeply tied to your sport's identity.
