Plataforma de software para gerenciar placares em torneios amadores de tênis

Abstract

The regular practice of physical activity is of great importance for the maintaince of a good quality of life, bringing countless benefits to health. Sport is one of the best known types of physical activities and can be practiced in two different ways: amateur sport and professional sport. In the context of amateur sport, tennis has been highlighted by the considerable increase in the popularity of this modality as a recreation in Brazil, being most often promoted by specialized academies. Aiming to keep practitioners stimulated in the practice of sport, these academies use various engagement strategies, such as organizing tournaments, maintaining rankings and adopting resources used in professional sports. With regard specifically to the last strategy, there is a certain difficulty in finding options in which the cost-benefit ratio is adequate to the reality of the academies, as the solutions often have a high cost and provide unnecessary resources for the amateur sport, or are very simple, without features of the professional scope. Based on this, and also from the contact with tennis academies in the city of Campo Mourão, this work consists in the development of a software platform for use in tournaments promoted by the academies among their members. The platform consists of modules to control the scoreboard of the matches, transmit game scores in real time, store match statistics and make the system available as a service.
