I'm the creator of the new "Tourney Companion" app that was revealed yesterday - AMA!

Hey everyone, my name is Remzi. I'm long time smasher, I've been competing in tournaments for almost 14 years starting with the Brawl. I've traveled to every corner of the US to compete in this series and have been to more events than I can count.

Needless to say, Smash and competition are monumental passions in my life.

By trade, I'm also a Software Engineer with about a decade of professional experience under my belt. So naturally, I've always been interested in using my skills with software to benefit the smash community in some way.

The result of that? Tourney Companion! An app for both Tournament Organizers and Players which I believe will legitimately transform the way that tournaments work from both a Tournament Organizer perspective as well as a competitor perspective.

Tourney Companion Feature Summary:

• Allow TOs (Tournament Organizers) to send notifications straight to player phones when calling their matches. No more standing on chairs and yelling into megaphones. No more worrying about missing your match being called because you wanted to run to the restroom.

• Allow players to handle all character/stage selection processes directly on their phones. All the complications that came with trying to blind pick, remember a stage list, determine strike order, etc. All things of the past with Tourney Companion.

• Players can report match results DIRECTLY to Startgg on their phones. Forget about chasing down TOs and trying to record results.

• Character, stage, and ban data will be recorded for EVERY SINGLE SET for the first time in Smash tournament history.

There is so much more, and so much that I have planned for this App's future, but those are some good ones to highlight for now.

Closed Beta:

Tourney Companion will be open for a closed beta starting this Summer. TOs can enroll in the beta by heading to https://tourneycompanion.com and filling out a very simple form. We got TONS of applicants already. If you want your TOs to try Tourney Companion, make sure you let them know about the beta.

Thats pretty much all for now! I've been getting a lot of questions on twitter about the product, so I figured an AMA might make sense. Feel free to ask me anything about how the app will work, if certain features will be supported, technical details, or just anything about me! Anything goes

Thanks so much for reading!
