Tournaments, entries and rankings for a national tennis federation

Apoliums built the Uzbekistan Tennis Federation's tour platform: a tournament calendar with online entry and withdrawal, a national ranking system and logins for players, referees and organisers, with the UTF Player app on Google Play.

What was the problem?

A federation's calendar, entry lists and rankings lived in documents passed between organisers. Players could not see whether their entry was accepted, referees worked from printouts and the ranking was recalculated by hand after every event.

  • Players, referees and organisers need different screens on the same tournament record.
  • Entry deadlines, withdrawal deadlines and acceptance lists have to be enforced by the system, not by email.
  • Rankings must follow from recorded results so the published table is never disputed.
  • The site serves Russian and Uzbek speakers and players who check it from a phone at the court.

How Apoliums approached it.

One tournament model with roles on top of it, deadlines enforced in the data, rankings derived from results, and a companion app that reads the same records.

  1. Roles on one record

    Players enter and withdraw, referees record results, organisers publish draws and acceptance lists. Each sees their part of the same tournament.

  2. Deadlines in the system

    Entry and withdrawal windows close automatically and acceptance lists appear inside the tournament page, so nobody argues about a late email.

  3. Rankings from results

    Points are awarded from recorded match results and the ranking table is generated from them, event by event.

  4. The app as the courtside view

    UTF Player on Android signs in with a QR code and carries the calendar, entries, rankings and notifications to the phone.

What was delivered.

  • Tournament calendar with online entry and withdrawal
  • Acceptance lists and results inside each tournament
  • National ranking system derived from recorded results
  • Player, referee and organiser accounts with role-based access
  • Russian and Uzbek interface
  • UTF Player Android app on Google Play

What changed after launch.

The calendar, the entry lists and the ranking became one dataset the whole federation reads.

  • Live at utf-tour.com with the UTF Player app on Google Play.

  • Players enter and withdraw themselves and see their acceptance status without contacting the federation.

  • The published ranking follows from recorded results, so the table and the archive cannot disagree.

More from the same shelf.
