# Case study: Rebuilding registration for a sports tournament organizer

Registering a team used to take about 3 minutes. Now it takes about 30 seconds. Here's what changed.

- **Client:** A sports tournament organizer
- **What they do:** Run sports tournaments. They earn from team registrations and from hotel room-block contracts.
- **What I built:** Team registration, roster validation, hotel room assignment and vouchers, in one system.
- **Result:** About 3 minutes to about 30 seconds to register a team.

## Before: A process spread across too many places

Registration, rosters and hotel room blocks were handled across an old website, spreadsheets and email. Each team took a few minutes to register, and checking rosters and matching teams to hotel rooms was manual work for the staff.

## What I built

- **One registration flow.** Teams sign up for a tournament in a single guided form.
- **Roster validation.** Rosters are checked automatically against the tournament's rules as they're entered.
- **Hotel room assignment.** Room blocks from hotel contracts are assigned to teams from the same data.
- **Vouchers.** Discounts and credits are handled inside the system instead of by hand.

## The result

Time to register one team, before and after: **3 min → 30 sec**

The bigger change is that the whole tournament runs from one system. The staff work from the same data instead of reconciling files.

## Why this matters for you

Your business probably isn't a tournament. The pattern is the same, though: a process spread across files and inboxes, held together by people who know the workarounds. That's the thing I fix.
