Software como servicio para optimizar la gestión de campeonatos en ligas deportivas con recursos económicos limitados

Abstract

The organization of soccer championships in the parish leagues of Pedro Moncayo Canton presented serious difficulties due to the use of manual processes. The organizers faced constant delays in the scheduling of matches, errors in the registration of players and lack of transparency in the results, which generated discontent among participants and affected the development of local sports. The main objective was to implement a web application under the Software as a Service model to optimize the management of soccer championships in the parish leagues of the Pedro Moncayo Canton with limited economic resources. The system sought to optimize critical processes such as registration, generation of calendars, management of sanctions and publication of results. A mixed methodology was used for the development. In the initial phase, interviews were conducted with organizers to identify specific needs, while surveys were used to validate the requirements with end users. The application was built using RAD methodology, with modern technologies such as Next.js for the interface, Supabase as a cloud database and tRPC for communication between components. The system achieved a 98.7% reduction in execution times for key tasks such as team and player registration, match scheduling, results registration and sanctions management. By implementing appropriate technological solutions, the management of amateur sports can be revolutionized. The results suggest that this model could be extended to other sports disciplines and regions with similar characteristics, thus promoting sports development.
