Manage Registrations for Your Tailgate Tourney

If you have ever managed a Cornhole tournament, you know what a pain in the ass it is to collect money from participants and manage paperwork. A company based in Bethesda, Maryland is aiming to take all the guess work out of tourney planning with its online bracket manager at compete-at.com. Compete-At provides an easy, turnkey solution for tailgate game organizers, which enables you to accept online registrations, memberships, credit card payments from participants.

All in all, it's a pretty nifty product that offers advanced features such as exporting data to a csv file, personal profile pages for teams, and integrated membership management for Cornhole Clubs. In theory, you could use this site to manage pretty much about any type of tailgate tournament. You can also create categories/divisions, and restrict participation by age and gender. These guys also offer free support, and setup is done using their intuitive wizard, which is always a major plus.

There are some drawbacks to using this method to run your Cornhole tournament. First off, you need to have your computer, so unless you are willing to carry your laptop to the game with a wireless card, and run the risk of some drunk a-hole spilling a beer on it, this is pretty much pointless. Other than that, we believe this to be a pretty nice feature to add to a Cornhole tourney. A feature we would love to see in the future is presentation mode. This would be great for bars that have projectors, and can present the brackets during a Beer Pong or Cornhole tourney. Check out the pictures below of the software screen shots.
