How to Run Competitions with Smoothcomp Connect: A Live Q&A with Smoothcomp
Competition season shouldn't run on a group chat, a notebook, and a dozen texts asking, "When's the next tournament?" Smoothcomp Connect brings competition into the same place you already run your gym, and in this free live Q&A, you'll hear straight from the people who built it.
Alex Cuevas from Gymdesk sits down with Martin Janson and Ricard Carneborn from Smoothcomp to walk through the new tools—the Competitions tab in Gymdesk, the free Coach Companion app, and Smoothrecorder—and how they fit together, from finding an event to bringing the results home.
They'll start with the questions gym owners ask most, then open the floor to yours. Whether your team competes every month or you're thinking about your first tournament, you'll leave knowing exactly how to set it up for your gym.
This free, interactive session will contain...
- A live FAQ to kick things off. The questions gym owners ask most about Smoothcomp Connect, answered by the team that built it.
- The Competitions tab, explained. Find Smoothcomp events filtered to your sport and how far you'll travel, endorse the ones you want your team at, and register athletes from a form that's already filled in.
- Coach Companion, up close. How the free app puts your team's matches in order, gets a coach in every corner, and flags any match with nobody assigned.
- Meet Smoothrecorder. The future of event video capture.
- An open floor for your questions. Your chance to ask about what's changed, and what hasn't.
