FAQ
What costs are involved?
SportsRunner is a modular system. We consult with you to decide the most suitable configuration, based on the size and nature of your organisation, and the options you choose for your needs.
It is not really possible to give a general price without knowing how you will be using the system. Please contact us, and we will be happy to discuss this aspect.
What help can I expect?
Can I see SportsRunner in action?
Absolutely. Please contact us and we will be happy to supply you with a free, no obligation trial version of SportsRunner. Or alternatively give you a password to a fully functional copy for evaluation online.
What types of competitions does SportsRunner manage?
SportsRunner draws and results functions are for team sports. Round Robin competitions, and Elimination Tournaments, are supported.
Is SportsRunner suitable for non-team sports?
No. Competitions that are normally conducted on the basis of individual performance, such as athletics and swimming, are not catered for by SportsRunner.
On the other hand, some individual sports, such as tennis and golf, are suiotable for SportsRunner where they are conducted within the context of knockout or round robin competitions.
What if SportsRunner doesn’t do everything we want?
As a SportsRunner client, you are authorised to request modifications or enhancements to the software. Please refer to the Customised Solution page.
Our organisation only runs a small number of competitions. Isn’t it ‘overkill’ to use a powerful system like SportsRunner?
The value of SportsRunner derives from 2 aspects:
- The automation of the management of draws and results, bringing time savings and error prevention
- The consistent, efficient communication of your draws and results information to those that need it, bringing many benefits
It is true that generating draws, and handling results, is easier for a smaller number of grades and teams. No matter how small, though, SportsRunner will still make it easier for you.
But probably when the number of competitions is smaller, the biggest advantage will be in the communication aspect – the attractive presentation of your draws and results; the ease of getting these to the internet, or to the newspaper; the convenience of alterations by text message; and so on.
By the way, we have been known to negotiate special pricing for small organisations.
What type of computer do we need?
SportsRunner runs on a PC with Windows 2000 or later version. A minimum of 256 MB memory is recommended.
Can we have more than one person using SportsRunner at the same time? Even if the users are in different locations?
Yes, and Yes. Please contact us to discuss the options for your circumstances.
