- What size of tournament does the software support?
The software has no limits (other than available memory) on the number of entries or events in
a tournament. The minimum recommended hardware is a Pentium 500 with 32MB RAM. The larger the
tournament, the faster you'll want the machine to be.
- How many tournaments have used this software?
The software has been used by over 10,000 tournaments in 45 states since its inception
in 1983. In 2015-16, the website was used for state championship tournaments in 20 states
as well as the Phi Rho Pi National Tournament.
- Where did the name "The Joy of Tournaments" come from?
My high school speech coach was Joy Morton. She's had a tremendous influence
over the development of this software and was the first coach to give me a
shot at using the software. Until her retirement in 2004, she hosted a tournament
named the Bobsled Classic in January of each year. In 2007 I assisted with
the 25th Bobsled Classic to use the software. We've come a long way together.
The software is named in her honor. Thanks Morton!
