Pozoj

Mobile application design and mobile application we created for an international handball tournament organized by a local handball club

A mobile application that was made in a hurry, but with a heart for a noble cause and of which we are extremely proud. It is likely that the users of the application recognized the same and as a result it took first place in the App Store and Google Play in the sport category and remained there for several days.

Given that the planning of the mobile application, the design, the creation of the database and the programming of the mobile application were done in less than ten days, of course there are a few minor errors. In the versions for the year 2022, 2023 and each subsequent one that we will have the privilege to work on, we will correct existing defects and generally upgrade the mobile application with new functionalities.

The initial version of the mobile application contains a management system (CMS) through which administrators can

  • Create and edit teams
  • Create and edit categories
  • Create and edit groups
  • Create and edit the transportation schedule from and to the match locations
  • Create and manage the schedule of matches according to Berger’s scheme with the Playoff phase of the competition
  • Broadcast the match live through the results and/or video transmission
  • Enter and manage the results of the matches according to which the system creates the order and defines the pairs of the next stage of the competition
  • Manage tournament locations
  • …  

to follow the progress of the handball tournament Mobile application users have an overview

  • mobile application title screen with a list of important segment icons
  • overview of the schedule and results by category
  • overview of the schedule and results of the competition by group stage or playoff
  • live match monitoring
  • overview of the details of the locations where the tournament is held within the sports mobile application
  • overview of the tables and results by category during the group phase of the competition
  • overview of the tables and results by category during the playoff phase of the competition
  • the possibility of selecting teams that are the user’s favorite (favorites) and monitoring their progress through the screen of the mobile application called Favorites
  • overview of the complete program by day for the entire tournament duration
  • overview of general information
  • an overview of individual teams and their schedule throughout the competition
  • direct access to the tournament website at pozoj.com

Frequently asked questions

You built Pozoj in under ten days. How was that even possible?
It was tight, we will not pretend otherwise. We picked a stack we move fast in: Figma for the design, Flutter so one codebase covers both iOS and Android, and Hasura to spin up the database and API quickly. We worked in parallel rather than in stages, so design, database and coding were happening at the same time instead of one waiting on the other. The deadline was the tournament date, and that does not move, so we scoped hard and shipped the features that actually mattered for following the matches.
The app reached number one in the sport category. Was that the goal?
Honestly, no. The goal was to give players, coaches and families a clean way to follow an international handball tournament in real time. Hitting first place in the sport category on both the App Store and Google Play, and staying there for a few days, was a lovely surprise. We think it happened because the people at the tournament genuinely needed the app and used it constantly during match days.
What can the tournament organizers actually do without calling us?
Quite a lot. The CMS lets them create and edit teams, categories and groups, set up the transport schedule to and from venues, and build the match schedule using Berger’s scheme including the playoff phase. They enter results as matches finish, and the system automatically calculates standings and sets the pairings for the next round. They can also broadcast a match live through running results or video. Day to day, they run the tournament from the admin panel without needing us.
What does the app give people who are just following the tournament?
A home screen with the key sections, schedules and results split by category and by group or playoff stage, live match tracking, full standings, venue details, and the complete day-by-day program for the whole tournament. People can mark teams as favorites and follow just those from a dedicated Favorites screen. There is also a direct link to the tournament website at pozoj.com.
It was made quickly, so are there bugs, and do you keep improving it?
With that timeline, a few small rough edges were unavoidable, and we are upfront about that. The plan was always to come back to it. For the 2022 and 2023 editions, and any future one we get to work on, we fix what needs fixing and add new functionality on top. We treat Pozoj as an app that grows with the tournament, not a one-off.
We organize a different sports event. Could you build something similar for us?
Yes, and that is exactly the kind of project we enjoy. The foundation here (a CMS for the organizers, live results, standings, schedules and favorites) maps onto plenty of other tournaments and competitions, not just handball. We would adapt the structure, scoring and stages to your sport and your format. Send us the rules and the timeline and we will tell you what is realistic, including how quickly we can move if you are up against an event date.
