TourneyTrack - Badminton App

Digitizing Score Keeping for Badminton Clubs

Local badminton clubs, such as Bellevue Badminton Club, regularly organize weekly knockout-style tournaments for their community. However, most of these clubs still rely on manual or semi-digital methods (like spreadsheets or paper brackets) to organize matches, track players, and update scores. This process is time-consuming, prone to errors, and lacks the real-time engagement and efficiency needed to manage fast-paced tournaments. Furthermore there is no easy way to review this historical data and no way to share this well with the community.

Task is to design

mobile-first app that enables badminton clubs to create, manage, and score knockout tournaments efficiently and accurately, while enhancing the experience for both organizers and participants

key challenges app should consider addressing include:

  • Creating Knockout Brackets Quickly: Organizers want to set up tournaments within minutes.

  • Scorekeeping in Real-Time: Accurate and intuitive scoring tools are required for umpires or players themselves to update scores on the fly.

  • Managing Player Participation: Clubs must be able differentiate between returning and new players, handle last-minute dropouts, and manage seeding if applicable.

  • Tracking Progression: The app must automatically update brackets based on match results and indicate who advances to the next round.

  • Sharing results: How do the clubs share the results of a tournament on social media and via email in a nice manner?

  • Reviewing historical and all time data: How can past tournaments be viewed and results of players be seen?

  • Creating Friendly matches: Organizers want to sometimes track the results of friendly matches.
