Scorekeeping directly on the New App  The CompuSport system offers a Scorekeeping Feature that can be used for Leagues and Tournaments. This has been used for a few years now, but it's never been made easier then with the new app that was released in September. When a league manager or tournament director turns on the scorekeeping feature, it allows players to fill out scoresheets directly from their phones. Leagues League scoresheets are usually more detailed with all the games played, points etc. But basically personalized to each league. Once it is filled out it is sent for approval to the opposing team. The team checks it over and either Accepts or Rejects the scoresheet. Once accepted it updates the stats automatically. Results the same night you play, imagine that!!! Tournaments Tournaments also use this feature to advance the bracket. Perfect tool for remote tournaments or tournaments who want to go paperless .  Easy, Breezy!!! Players receive their notifications sayi...

The Create My Event process is now a step-by-step! We want to make the process of creating an event as simple as possible. You already have enough on your shoulders when you manage an event. So at least creating one will now be easier. This will help: 1. Make sure you copy past events if that can help. Yes! You read that right, you can copy your old event, this will save you from re-creating templates, settings, re-entering teams and players, brackets, etc. 2. Make sure you don't create multiple events as divisions. Yap, one event with multiple divisions is the way to go. What is an Event? 3. Make sure you select the Operators (if applicable). Choosing the right operator is important as it gives access to player personal information and sanctioning privileges. 4. Eliminate events created multiple times because you can't find the one you just created or creating an event per session rather then using the same event for one full leagu...
