a major event that fills to capacity.
erized scoring system which was being used for the first
time in Ontario. Photographs of all players and teams
were taken and added into their player/team profiles
which included all of their individual and team stats.
This included games played, wins, losses, scores for
and against, ERO's for and against, etc. It was very well
received by the players and we are sure it will be the
standard for future tournaments in North Bay. Players
were able to view stats as well as schedules and photos
on their computers and laptops in real time. This gave
them the ability to see who they were playing next and
what the opponent(s) results were in the tournament.
this new scoring system worked well and the tourna-
ment ran smoothly because of their efforts. Our Referee-
In-Charge, Serge Ruel and the referees are also to be
commended for an excellent job. The software/scoring
system was provided by Compusport and having them
in attendance all weekend to teach us this system was
greatly appreciated. The system was incredible as was
the support they provided to us. All these individuals
played an important role in the success of this tourna-
ment and we truly appreciate their involvement.
