Seven on the court. Is your goalkeeper free on Saturday?
See who's free before you name the squad. Give everyone a position, from goalkeeper to pivot, and keep a match squad of up to 16 in one place instead of the group chat.
Everything in Pro for 14 days. No card needed. Runs in any browser, phone included.
Two halves of thirty. Sixteen on the sheet.
A handball game on benchli is built the way the sport is played, so there is less to fix on game day.
Your game says "Throw-off"
Games show as "Throw-off 19:30", not a bland start time.
Thirty minutes each
Sixty minutes in all, split into two halves, the way every adult game is played.
Up to sixteen players
Squads run from 5 to 16 players, with substitutions that roll on and off all game.
A draw is a result
League games can end level. League points default to 2 for a win and 1 for a draw.
A court player and a goalkeeper don't share a stat line.
Court players get goals, assists, shots and shooting percentage. The goalkeeper gets saves, goals against and save percentage. Neither is squeezed into the other's box.

The one position that gets a record of what it stopped.
Years of league handball and nothing to show for it but taped fingers?
A keeper's goal deserves a record.
The five-goal game you'll hear about all season, the keeper who scored into an empty net: when milestones go live, benchli will notice both after the game and post them to the team feed.
Seven positions, and a goalkeeper with a line of their own.
Here's what is built in for handball, and what isn't there yet.
Already on the court
- Goalkeeper, both wings, three backs and the pivot, grouped the way your coach says them.
- Tick who played in goal and they get their own boxes: saves, goals against and 7m saves. Save percentage works itself out.
- A 2-minute suspension isn't a yellow card, so it has its own count beside yellow, red and blue cards.
- 7m goals and attempts for the shooter, 7m saves for the keeper.
Still on the bench
- A 7m conversion rate, and a "Perfect from the line" milestone that counts misses.
- Extra time and 7m shoot-outs, recorded as part of a cup or play-off game.
- Ten-goal wins and big comebacks as milestones. They need the goal margin and the half-time score.
- Steals, blocked shots and turnovers, the extras tournament reports count.
Every benchli team also gets
One price for the whole squad.

Common questions
Does it know a pivot from a right back?
Yes. Handball has seven positions on benchli: goalkeeper, left wing, right wing, left back, centre back, right back and pivot. They are grouped as a coach would say them: goalkeeper, wings, backcourt and pivot.
How big can the match squad be?
From 5 to 16 players, the same 16 the Swiss Handball Federation's match report allows. Substitutions roll, so players come off and go back on as often as the game needs.
Are 2-minute suspensions and 7-metre throws counted?
Yes. Court players get a count of 2-minute suspensions beside yellow, red and blue cards, plus 7m goals and attempts. Goalkeepers get 7m saves next to saves, goals against and save percentage.
Does a draw count?
Yes. League handball can end level, and benchli records it as a draw. League points default to 2 for a win, 1 for a draw and none for a loss, which is how Swiss league handball scores a game.
What about extra time and 7m shoot-outs in cup games?
Not yet. benchli doesn't record extra time or a 7m shoot-out as parts of a game, only the result you enter.
Your seven, ready for the throw-off.
Ask the squad tonight. Know your goalkeeper by Thursday.
