Our philosophy is: tournament management must be simple. That’s why in Konkuri the “Create tournament” form will generate directly the league site, that you can both manage and share with friends. Simple, isn’t it? However, reaching such an approach has not been obvious at all.

This way of league management was born just a couple of months ago. In our first prototypes, the “Create tournament” button led you to the administration backend, not to the tournament site. From the backend, you edited the content and had to go to the frontend to see it published, like in the typical Wordpress or Blogger administration.

But, unlike a blog, managing a tournament doesn’t require many drafts. Most of the time, you want to enter the scores and see the table updates. That’s it. So, we have decided to merge backend and frontend into a dynamic interface with contextual administration links, visible only by the tournament administrator.

We have used and tested both versions and, believe us, this second one is so much smarter! You will enjoy it a lot.
