Why Acelet?
Acelet supports both professional and club/community/social tournaments.
World-class draw chart
Every character on the draw is clickable. When you click them, you will get related
detailed information about the text.
For example, click a player name will list all matches for that player; click a score
will list the game and history.
So, Acelet uses limited screen space of smartphones
to provide superior user experience.
World-class referee view of matches/games
Acelet provides a graphic page for refereeing matches. They look like the
devices used at US-Open-tennis grand-slam. Referees can manage matches by
clicking on his/her smartphone.
Seeding
Professional and high level tournaments will like the support of seeding.
Seeds can be specified using both numbers and text (such as wc).
For elimination formats (knockouts) seeds are treated similar to US-open-tennis.
For pool-playoff formats, seeds are treated like FIFA-world-cup.
Team-competition-pool-playoffs
Acelet also fully supports team-competition-pool-playoffs format.
It is a pool-playoff format. The difference here is that each meeting of camps is
not one physical match. Each meeting is three or five matches, each match can be a
singles match or doubles match. These formats are wide used, but lack of software
support. Now, Acelet supports it.
With team-competition-pool-playoffs support, it is much easier to organize tournaments.
It is good for cities, clubs and schools. Especially for schools: schools can play
each week for whole semesters.
Community/social tournaments
Acelet has created a new format:
Friendship format. It is for communities, clubs as
social tournaments. This format divides players into two camps. Each player plays
every opponents in the same division. The camp who wins more will be the winner.
It is a lot of fun as recreation activities.
Social and recreation tournaments can be refereed by all players
For each tournament, you have choice to decide who is authorized to manage
matches. For professional and high level tournaments, you can choose
"Referee". For social and recreational tournaments, you can choose "ALL"
(all players in the tournament). That is very practical for
community/social/club tournaments.
Automatic match/court management
The scoring is still done by humans, but all other things are done by the
system on the day of play. When a match is done, the winner will
automatically advance to the next match. When the next match have two opponents,
it is queued in match queue. When a court is available, the next match in
the waiting list gets the court and players get notice email.
All of that is automatically managed by the system. Managers do not need to do
anything. Of course, if needed, managers can intervene. All can be done by a
smartphone.
With automatic match queue and court management, courts are used more
efficiently, and easily. You can manage bigger tournaments with fewer courts.
Acelet also supports "Minimum rest time between matches" in case it is too
soon for some players. When that happen, the system will not assign a court
to a match in question.
Smartphone and computer support
Acelet supports all major browsers on both smartphone and computer.

Record activities for consultants

consultants. There is a record for each time you are hired as a consultant.
It is good both for consultant themselves and future tournaments.
