Competition Management

This module is arguably the flagship of the iCompMan online solution. A comprehensive suite of configuration parameters and business rules enable users to apply their specific requirements to the generation of draws. Our sophisticated automated Draw Generator takes pain out of draw generations. Its built-in draw algorithm can handle any number of teams and rounds. User definable draw templates module enable users to create their own schedule patterns replacing the built-in draw algorithm. Generated draws can be published on internet via the CompMan iData module.

Results maintenance is an important part of the competition management. We offer a couple of different ways to record not only results but also offences. One of the tools is called CompMan iMatchSheets and it was developed to record match results and other details in real time using mobile devices such as iPads and other tablets. Irrespective of the method used, point tables are updated in real time, hence they are always up to date.

Similar to the results maintenance our Offences module enable users to record all offences, apply suspension rules and more.
