Automating Student Registration and Placement for Seamless Athletic Tournaments

Abstract

Athletic tournaments play a crucial role in fostering well-rounded student development by promoting physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. However, the current manual system for managing student registrations and placements creates a significant logistical burden for schools and tournament organizers. This burden stems from repetitive tasks, meticulous record-keeping, and the complexities of re-registration and position assignment. These inefficiencies hinder the overall effectiveness of tournaments and diminish opportunities for student engagement. To address this challenge, this project proposes the development of Majlis Sukan Sekolah (MSS) Malaysia, an Android application designed to streamline athletic tournament management. The project employs an iterative development model to ensure the creation of a user-friendly, efficient, and reliable tool. Initial findings indicate that MSS Malaysia significantly reduces administrative burdens and errors, enhancing the overall experience for both organizers and participants. The application automates key processes, offers intuitive interfaces, and allows for seamless orchestration of events. Future work will focus on continuous testing, incorporating user feedback, optimizing performance, enhancing security measures, and providing comprehensive user training and support.
