A year in review for Toornament: Looking back on 2023 and what’s to come in 2024
A new year has passed for the Toornament team which has been marked by major and more discreet developments to always best serve tournament organizers. Discover our retrospective of 2023 and some 2024 developments preview.
2023 in a few figures
- You are 6,400 new active organizers to have joined us in 2023;
- Organizers have created 42,000 tournaments during the year;
- These tournaments have welcomed more than 511,000 participants;
- More than 1,700,000 matches have been played;
- A total of 29 new games added on the platform.
Release of the Platform solution
The year 2023 was undeniably marked by the release of the very first white-label and no-code tournament platform solution. Step by step, the Platform solution is the culmination of work started in 2021 combining both the tournament management software and the Toornament website builder.
The Toornament Platform makes it possible to democratize the practice of esports to as many people as possible. It provides project leaders with a rapid and complete solution for deploying a white label tournament platform, whether to develop esports within a national or international federation, for a game or a brand.
Tournament website builder improvements
Released in 2022, the first no-code tournament website builder has been enhanced with new improvements and features in 2023. While many have been used as part of the development of the Platform Plan, others are also available for use as part of the Site Plan.
Thus, we have pushed further and further the possibilities of integrating from the smallest information of your tournament in one click on your website, and personalizing their renderings.
This long work gives you in 2024 the ability to create and personalize your website for all your projects, whether it is a simple tournament, a professional league, or a full white-label platform for your federation or esports game.
Tournament management software improvements
Alongside the development and release of the Platform solution, the Toornament teams continued to improve the tournament organization tool and its interfaces.
Among the new features of the year, let’s remember these:
