5 tips for successful tournament organization
Organize tournaments successfully
A well-organized tournament can improve the club's coffers, attract new members and strengthen the club's image. But the organization is complex - from registration to game planning to results recording.
Tip 1: Use digital registration
No more Excel lists and email chaos! With the KlubPortal tournament app, teams register online, pay directly by credit card or PayPal, and all data automatically ends up in your database.
Tip 2: Automatic game plan creation
Manually creating game plans takes hours. Modern software calculates fair game plans in seconds - taking into account pitch availability, break times and group phases.
Tip 3: Live results for more engagement
Parents and fans want to see results in real time. Keep everyone up to date with live tables and push notifications - without any additional effort.
Tip 4: Centralize communication
Push notifications for schedule changes, email confirmations for registrations, SMS for last-minute updates - all from one platform.
Tip 5: Involve sponsors
Show sponsor logos on the tournament website, app and schedules. This increases visibility and justifies higher sponsorship contributions.
