for Event Organizers
Challonge.com - Well established web-based tool for competitive events and tournament brackets. Integrated ticketing and payment via Stripe. Features here.
TrueFinals.com - New site in beta for tournament brackets. Stats and dashboards, competitor list with next opponent listed, integrated check-in and call up, video overlays for match recording/streaming, all also web-based. Well-documented API and small robot combat community creating deep integration.
BigTimer.net - Large-display, ad supported, touch-enabled timer.
