Fishing tournament organizers can now use Compete-At's comprehensive Event Management platform to manage all aspects of fishing tournaments online from initial planning through posting results. All aspects of managing a fishing tournament have been integrated into Event Manager and presented to tournament organizers in a user-friendly interface. "Until today, fishing tournament organizers didn't have a focused solution tailored to meet their needs," explains David Ross, CEO at Compete-At. "The event management solutions available to them previously provided very few benefits -- short of simply collecting angler's registration fees. We realize this, and Compete-At takes a fundamentally different approach to sport event management to provide tournament organizers and anglers a completely unique solution."

Compete-At will be providing fishing tournament calendars, club and marina listings, results and online registration via the www.Compete-At-Fishing.com website. Additionally, Compete-At provides XML and RSS feeds of content to interested parties to help promote fishing tournaments and help web site owners easily integrate real-time postings by tournament organizers into their own sites.

A Fundamentally Different Approach to Sport Event Management
Compete-At Event Manager is a secure online platform tailored to meet the unique planning needs of competitive sports. Unlike "league based" or one-size-fits-all registration solutions, Event Manager is specifically designed and tailored to alleviate the headaches of sport event management while handling all sport specific disciplines at local, regional and international levels. "Organizing a fishing tournament often involves a complex fee structure, multiple tournament levels, with different requirements for captains, boat owners and anglers," explains Tom Berger, CMO at Compete-At. "It doesn't make sense for fishing tournament organizers to try and shoehorn their needs into an event management system also used for marathons, cycling and even medical or insurance conventions. The features and functionality we've embedded into Event Manager meet the specific needs of anglers and provide a simple, seamless registration process for everyone involved."
