Moving into the cloud 10/21/2009
Today tourlegends.com will move from a server-based solution onto a cloud-based infrastructure. Regretably there will be some unavoidable downtime during the upgrading. This change means our site visitors will continue to enjoy a fast-loading site because we'll be able to react more quickly to the growing number of visitors. Our new scalable infrastructure will allow us to add additional bandwidth and storage more easily. As an additional benefit we are looking at increasing the allocated photo sharing capacity so you can share more photos with your team mates and sports friends. Come and join us on our new cloud! Sports Events Calendar 10/11/2009
From today sports teams who are keen to tour and participate in new sports events have one central place to find out what’s happening and where – the tourlegends calendar. There is no need to register to browse this useful calendar which allows filtering by sport, type of tournament, country, month and year. In addition interested teams can contact organizers directly via the tourlegends web form. Registered teams can also create free tour profiles to help them get organized, import their fixtures and to share their photos, videos and banter. “The fun, camaraderie, excitement and lasting memories of sports tours are often unforgettable for all involved. tourlegends.com seeks to make the experience even more memorable and easier to organize” says Nellie Rogers, its founder. Promoting a tournament or a league and attracting a diverse range of teams to participate is a challenge for any organizer. However from today there is a new channel available and any organizer can add their tournament details on tourlegends for free. Moreover there is no requirement to register in order to list! Tournament organizers that do choose to register will find there are many advantages such as: collection of tournament fees online via our partner PayPal, generate and allow teams to import fixtures and much more! Registered or not, all tournament profiles are fully search engine optimized so internet users can easily find listings on tourlegends using any search engine such as Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. So next time you’re trying to find sports events for your team or promoting your event to attract sports teams – start at the tourlegends calendar! Create a fixtures schedule in minutes! 10/08/2009
Ever tried to quickly create a fixtures schedule for a sports event or sports league (ladder)? Not the easiest job, right? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just type in the schedule type (round robin or knock-out), the team names, sports venue names and when you press submit the schedule would just pop out? You can now on tourlegends.com! Try our new fixtures generator and create a schedule within minutes then export to Excel – no need to register! However if you do register (for free!) then participating teams can easily import their fixtures into their own club calendars and league fixture lists. This cuts down on double-entries, typos and confusion! It gets even better when you organize a tournament! If you add start time, end time, fixture duration, interval (between games) time then you not only get the fixture list but also a timed match schedule for your tournament! Next invite all the participating teams to add themselves to your tournament and create their tour profile to which they can automatically pull the fixtures you created. No double-entries, no typos, no hassle! Oh and for added visibility the fixtures appear in all club calendars, so if you make any fixture changes they are automatically updated everywhere and an email is sent to everyone participating. So easy, so ‘I wish I had done this earlier’ and completely free! In addition participating teams can take advantage of our player availability management tool. The captain or coach simply sends out one email to their entire team for all fixtures and players respond ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ online. The players can view the games information on-line at any time cutting down on confusion and request for repeat information: ‘Where are we playing?’ - ‘What time does it start?’ etc. It’s a change so be tough! Don’t entertain requests but get your players to navigate to tourlegends.com instead of bugging you… Try the fixtures generator today and you’ll see you will never again have to puzzle out your fixtures by hand! |
