​
Overview

The Tournament Management App provides a comprehensive platform for organizing and managing soccer tournaments. The system handles all aspects of tournament operations, from team registration to match scheduling and score tracking.
All tournament management features require user authentication. Users must be logged in to create, edit, or delete tournament data.

​
Core Entities

The tournament system is built around five main entities that work together to manage tournament operations:

Teams (Equipos)

Teams are the foundation of the tournament, representing competing organizations with their own roster of players.

Players (Jugadores)

Individual athletes assigned to teams with specific positions and jersey numbers.

Matches (Partidos)

Scheduled games between teams with date/time and score tracking capabilities.

Technical Directors (DTs)

Coaches who manage and lead teams throughout the tournament.

Municipalities (Municipios)

Geographic locations that teams represent in the tournament.

​
Tournament Structure

The application organizes tournaments with the following hierarchical structure: 
Tournament
├── Municipalities (Geographic Organization)
│   └── Teams
│       ├── Technical Director
│       └── Players (with Positions)
└── Matches
    ├── Local Team (Home)
    └── Visiting Team (Away)
