Ok. PrimeTime Sports is thought of as one of the larger, more organized basketball tournament conductors in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. There is always some decent talent in each tournament, along with some teams that are probably more recreational. Here are the issues.
We've been in several tournaments in gyms without A/C. There seemed to be zero sense of urgency to fix the issue. We were playing in The MAC in Lewisville, and it was so hot and humid inside that there was condensation on the court. It was actually dangerous to be playing there. We asked to leave the doors open to allow air through the building, but was told no.
Three weeks later, we end up playing in another tournament of theirs. We end up at Coppell North Middle School (how do they decide which teams play at the high school and which play at the middle schools?). Guess what. It was so warm and humid that the gyms smelled like a musty locker room. There were zero concessions on premise. If you wanted anything other than a drink of water out of a water fountain, you had to drive to the nearest convienence store. Host a concession to pay for an app (see the next paragrah about that).
Lastly, how can a company this size that is doing this as a business not utilize an app? When we send out our game times for the week, the first thing parents ask is, "Which app do we use?" I tell them, "It's PrimeTime. They are the only one that I know of that doesn't utilize an app.".
To still be handwriting tournament brackets is so primitive. We went from the middle school to the high school to play a game, and the PrimeTime reps at the high school didn't even know who had won the game from the middle school. Some of the smallest tournament directors in the area have their own app. I understand that it's about making money, but your business would surely increase if you would give coaches and parents the tools to make it more convienent for everyone involved.
