Matteo did very well and we received warm greetings from the audience: lots of compliments and enthusiastic tweets. We’re now having interviews with some venture capitals that have shown interest in the project. Besides, we had the chance to meet other great startups guys and to share the same passion and pain.

Here you are the video of Konkuri presentation:

And the video of the following interview:

Select your location and the list will show all the tournaments near you within a certain distance. Then, you can change the distance radius or sort tournaments by date of creation. You can do the same with the sport parameter.

This feature will help users to find the tournaments they’re looking for. On the other side, it’s a great tool to give more visibility to your competition!

In your home page, you will have the stream of all the tournaments you are following. This allows you to keep track of the competitions you’re interesed in without having to visit every single tournament. Of course, you can decide to “unfollow” a tournament at any time. Konkuri won’t send a notification when you unfollow.

If you’re a tournament administrator, this is a great tool to let your audience be informed on the competition updates and/or to promote your tournament externally to help spread the word to new spectators and fans.

First of all, not only the tournament’s administrator but also followers and registered users will be able to write messages on the dashboard. The form to add a message has become a single text area which is immediately available. If you want to create a title, just press return after the first line.

And here we go: your message will be published in the dashboard. You can also share your post on Facebook or Twitter, if you want.

When you post content on the dashboard, other users will be able to comment on it. You can also comment on matches and on live results. You will receive e-mail notifications when someone adds a comment on a post you’written or on a conversation where you’ve added a comment.

Then, since a tournament discussions can get pretty hot, we’ve created some tools to let the administrator have full control on the conversation and publish only appropriate content. The tournament administrator will be able to:

• delete any content at any time
• pre-moderate comments before publishing
• block users from writing on the dashboard
• set specific discussion permissions to the different users: followers, registered Konkuri users, anonymous users

Talking about what you can see, we’ve implemented the most requested feature in our feedback forum: the dashboard now moves forward to the latest round completed, or the next round with at least 1 result. So, it won’t stop anymore to an old round with a delayed match.

We’ve also added feeds filters that will allow you to choose between posts, results or comments. And, as you will notice when your tournament gets to an end, we’ve redesigned the podium and moved it to the right.

It’s the exciting multi-stage competition used by the FIFA World Cup, the Volleyball World Cup and many others.

In Konkuri managing this system is simple and intuitive. As you click on the “Create tournament” button, Konkuri will automatically suggest the group splitting that fits best your competitors number. Then you can add or delete groups, change the participants number for each group, drag and drop participants between groups, and so on.

You can also allocate the full schedule of pairings across the bracket before the start of the tournament For instance, you can make the winner of group A play against the runner-up of group D.

And, as the tournament starts to hot up, Konkuri will place automatically the qualifiers of each group (and eventual repechages) in the brackets, to let you start the final stage.

As usual, with Konkuri is easier to do things than to describe them. Try to believe!

Our brasileiros friends have become the n°1 community in Konkuri.

To meet the needs of the most colorful country in the world, the main functions of the site have been translated into brazilian portuguese. At the moment, users from Portugal will see the portuguese brazilian language as well.

We encourage you to send us feedback about possible corrections or improvements. With your help, the two translations will be completed sooner.

Have fun and… crie o seu torneio!

• single set for all racket sports
• multiple round-robin for fantasy sports
• 2 new games in our roster: Chess and Checkers

Indeed, we’re constantly working to improve Konkuri features and satisfy our users needs. These new components will help many of you, included the ones who wrote us to suggest them.

For example Mauro from Italy, who plays Fantasy football: thanks to the multiple round-robin he will be able to follow all the italian football league, even if he plays with few friends. Again, Jason from USA, who organizes a Tennis tournament with 1 set matches. Last but not least, Joseph from the Netherlands, who urged us to insert Chess. From now on it will be possible to create Chess and Checkers round-robin and brackets tournaments with this scoring system: 1 point for a win, 0,5 points for a draw, 0 points for a loss.

Keep on following us and sending us your suggestions. Konkuri was born for you and everyone can contribute to its growth!
