If you are a tournament organizer, you may spend a lot of time on setup event page, registering players and handle the payments. These may be hours of work! I was introduced to use this tool: http://www.comlinker.com/. This is an event management tool for organizers and communities. I use this tool to organize McGill Open this year and it saves me so much time compared to last year. Yes, this tool has some processing fees with non-free events, but the cost is worth it because it may save you 30-40 hours of work. Thus, as a software developer myself, I decided to join the startup that makes this tool.
You may think that there are other similar tools around. Yes, eventbrite is the most popular and powerful one, but it costs too much comparing to comlinker. For free events, both charge nothing. But for non-free events, comlinker charges only 5% of the ticket fee up to at most 0.99 cents (meaning that whether the ticket costs 100$ or 500$, the application would only charge 0.99cents). For the popular eventbrite, they charge 1.00$ plus 2.5% of the ticket fee, which is much more. In addition, comlinker creates a social network of events that may have bigger potentials.
With this tool, you can do:
-your client can fill a registration form (defined by you) and do payment all together. No need to setup forms and paypal buttons separately.
-payment can be in credit, debit or paypal.
-all the registration information will be saved to the same place. And it can be export to an Excel spreadsheet. You can compute your total income with one click!.
-sharing your event on facebook, google , linkedin and twitter.
-The client can add notes or send messages to the organizers
-The organizer can add notes on a player
-You can assign multiple people to organize the event with you.
-advertise the sponsors of your event.
-more...
I am now adding new features to this application including embedding the registration table on the organizer's website and better multilingual support. If you are interested in using this application or have suggestions, please email me at shaohanghe91@gmail.com
