Konkuri: web-based tournament organizer
If you compete in anything - sports, fantasy sports, online games - you might someday find yourself organizing a tournament. Konkuri is a web service that can help you do that with relatively little fuss, whether you're starting a just-for-fun league with some friends or doing something a bit more serious. It has both round-robin and bracket modes, and you can either manually pair up competitors or have the site make a random schedule.Konkuri has a lot of features that are designed to make it not only easy to set up, but easy for people following or playing in your tournament to use. Dates, times and venues for matches are easy to enter and the results page does a lot of your work for you. When you enter results, Konkuri uses them to calculate standings. Depending on which sport you're playing, you can also enter scores from multiple sets in the same match (helpful for tennis, and the like). Each match also gets a comments page – what's a tournament site without the ability to talk trash?
