Tournaments of the Future
Our Digital Platform Changes the Boundaries of Space & Time
Traditional Tournaments
Sustain the fishery, bring the excitement of live leaderboards, and make your tournaments easier to run. Keep participants honest with anti-cheating technology and boat video check-ins while allowing participants to start from the boat launch of their choice.
Leagues & Clubs
Set up a weekly or monthly tournament for your team practices or club event. When you want to run the same event again, just use the "re-host" feature and pick your new dates.
Promotional Tournaments
Tournaments are easier to manage and cover larger geographical areas. This enables businesses to run and manage promotional tournaments that last all summer, all winter, or all year.
Nontraditional Time
Set up a tournament that lasts an hour or a year. You could even create a month long tournament and ask your participants to fish any one day out of the month, then just use the app to verify the results.
