Pre-Tournament Setup
Choose the events that occur at your tournament, determine deadlines, and create
the invitation. Most of the invitation is automatically generated based on your
choices for events, deadlines, etc. This includes instructions for schools to
register online.
Registration
Tournament attendees submit their entries online.
This includes the number of entries in each event, how many judges they are bringing,
and the fees they owe.
Once a team has registered, they can submit adds and drops via the online registration
tool. This eliminates any miscommunication, and automates the add/drop process!
Scheduling
Schedule your tournament with our "Fair-Match" algorithm, ensuring contestants are on
a level playing field with no favorites! Unless impossible, contestants from the same school
will not be scheduled in the same round, and contestants will see different competition
throughout the day.
Scheduling can automatically assign rooms for each section, or you can choose to
manually assign rooms through our easy-to-use room scheduler.
Notifies you if your event should be "flighted" (when there isn't enough room in your
facility to run every section concurrently).
Judges are automatically assigned to sections, with the software ensuring that judges
are not judging one school more than others.
Tabulation
Tab room coaches are responsible for entering scores via a secure website. All
scores are logged and can be traced back to tab room personnel to ensure accountability.
Elimination rounds (finals, semi-finals, etc.) are automatically generated with judges assigned
either automatically or manually.
All scores are secure and stored on our web servers with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
