Review a Startup: YouCompete

https://www.you-compete.com

In short: Competition management meets social networking

Problem: Managing your own competition over the internets nowadays tends to boil down to one of a few broad categories: - Write your own website - Buy a template site and tweak it to your needs - Send everything over email

Solution: A site for coordinating competitions which combines flexible administration with the social trappings of Web 2.0.

If that's all a little too abstract, a few concrete examples of what YouCompete does: - Aggregate player activity for a match (Who can attend?) - Notify you via email when a match is cancelled - Compute standings by Win Percentage, Points (Hockey, Soccer) or Rating (Chess) - Coordinate an N-team single-elimination tournament bracket

Sign up and create a league or check out a few of the example leagues we've set up to get a flavor for the site: https://www.you-compete.com/leagues?q=example

Thanks!
