Background: Every year more than 50 junior tennis tournaments are conducted all over India. The tournaments are conducted by various “host” organizations under the observation of AITA (All India Tennis Association). These tournaments are conducted under 4 different “series” namely - Talent Series (TS), Championship Series (CS), Super Series (SS) and National Series (NS). Also there are different age categories for boys and girls - Under 10 (U10), Under 12 (U12), Under 14 (U14) and Under 16 (U16). The matches fall under 4 different formats - Boys Singles (BS), Girls Singles (GS), Boys Doubles (BD) and Girls Doubles (BG). A tournament can have several combinations of the above, however BS and GS are mostly focused upon. Current Problem: Currently most of the tournaments are managed by the “host organizations” using paper templates, phone communication and on-site display boards. This creates 2 different types of problems - 1. The management overhead is high and 2. Communication between the management and the contestants is low. There is a lot of anxiety amongst the contestant and their guardians on the match schedule, the current and final score, draw sheets, lucky loser situation etc. This results in not so pleasant experiences for both the management as well as the contestants. Proposed Solution: The above problem can be handled by a shared web application which works on subscription basis for the tournament management. The management can manage the entire tournament as an event using this application.
