https://official.spohabi.com/contact/ Background of the update Until now, SpoHavi has responded to the requests of schools by developing functions to easily manage tournaments. While actually using SpoHavi to manage tournaments, we conducted further interviews with tournament organizers, including how to communicate with participants regarding tournament applications, preparation of match schedules for
tournaments, and management on the day of the tournament. We have identified the requests that have arisen and updated the tournament functions to provide a service that will allow tournament management to be more satisfying for tournament organizers and participants. Specific update details < Operational aspects for the tournament > Up until now, SpoHavi’s tournament function had been managing each tournament one by one, but now it is now possible to manage the schedules of multiple tournaments held on the same day by the same organizer all at once on one screen. This allows you to set up and manage large-scale tournaments without having to go through
complicated settings. Bulk schedule management of multiple tournaments When setting up multiple tournaments, you can easily create multiple related tournaments from the management screen. Each competition application page will include a link to the relevant competition application.

Competition selection criteria Details First come first served ・Payment at the time of application ・Applications are possible until the capacity is reached Lottery ・Manual lottery ・Manual lottery on the management screen by the tournament operator ・Automatic lottery ・Random automatic lottery is possible until the tournament is released In the case of a first-come, first-served basis, applications will be accepted until the capacity is reached, but in the case of a lottery, it is possible to accept applications that exceed the capacity. In addition to manual drawing by the administrator, it is now possible to randomly select winners with a single click of a button on the screen, making the process to win a smoother process.
