USA Upgrade

USA Ultimate's announcement about an upgraded website using AmericanEagle.com, included these words of improvement related to the antiquated, unpopular Score Reporter:

"...After the initial launch of these benefits and services next month (December 2), USA Ultimate will continue and complete testing on phase two, which for the first time ever will include USA Ultimate's own tournament builder and score reporting function. This is one example of a technological component that has never been owned, operated or serviced by the national governing body and is reliant upon a single individual. The forthcoming tournament builder will be synched with team databases, player profiles, and registration and payment functionalities, giving organizers of sanctioned events a platform on which to administer and promote their tournaments.

Once phase two is live, the full benefit of the currently planned elements for this new technology platform will be fully realized. A new event management system will integrate team rostering and event registration with public team and event pages. The second phase will also offer public team profiles complete with stats, logos, pictures, schedules and rankings, as well as enhanced event information pages and game tracking elements like scoring and statistics."
Hopefully, the upgrade will include excellent visuals for the game tracking elements.

:Recap: 
The forthcoming USAU tournament builder will:
  • sync with team databases, player profiles, and registration 
  • accept payments
