What It Is

Tournament Expert is sports event management software from NetInfo, positioned for professional tournament organization, with the source text placing particular emphasis on karate competitions. It is not a general-purpose project management SaaS product, but rather a suite of applications built around event creation, registration, category management, bracket generation, on-site information boards, video broadcast data, and mobile participation.

Core Features

The product consists of Web Portal, Tournament Expert Studio, Information Board, Sports data for Video Broadcasting, and Mobile Application. The web interface is used to create events, set venues and schedules, upload posters, manage registration deadlines, add multilingual descriptions, maintain athlete/coach/club information, and create categories by height, weight, age, gender, and event type. Studio handles event data, statistics, brackets, and result processing, with offline support being a key highlight. The Information Board can transmit data via Wi‑Fi or cable and is used on-site to display participants, match progress, and winners. The mobile app is suitable for checking events, submitting registrations, editing events, and viewing results on the go.

Pricing and Business Information

The pricing page discloses plans for individual parent accounts: a free tier at 0 ₽, a Champion tier at 1,500 ₽, and an Olympic tier at 5,000 ₽ as a one-time payment for lifetime access to Champion-tier capabilities. Unfortunately, the main text does not explain commercial pricing for event organizers, Web Portal, or Studio, nor does it specify trial periods, seat limits, number of events, or service levels.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a highly focused use case and coverage of the full event workflow. Categories and athlete profiles can be reused, reducing duplicate data entry. Document access can be set as public or restricted to judges and other designated personnel. Offline capability is also well suited to on-site environments such as sports halls where network connectivity may be unstable. The drawbacks are also clear: public materials disclose very little about security compliance, backups, permission models, APIs, private deployment, and other information that enterprise buyers typically care about. Apart from email, YouTube, and information board transmission, third-party integrations also appear limited.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to karate associations, clubs, event organizers, and competition teams that need on-site big-screen displays or broadcast data. For users in China, the available text alone is not enough to assess access quality, payment availability, or localization support. Pricing is shown in rubles, and payment methods are unclear. Domestic alternatives could include a custom-built tournament system, or a lightweight setup combining WeCom, Tencent Docs, event registration tools, and live-streaming platforms.
