Touch: Our Story

It's pretty simple really. We wanted to take the options that were out there, unify some systems that were kept separate previously, and make the whole thing just stupid simple. Our goal is to continue to offer more features that are easy to understand and to make everything fully functional on every screen your event manager and your event attendees will use. From every aspect, you'll feel the work that went into creating our system. We mean it when we say, Tangible Results.

Eric, aka the Business Dude

Eric is a regular CrossFitter, having dabbled in a few competitions, but more recently has been helping run them by handling the scoring aspects for competitions at his home gym (CrossFit NOLA) and at the Deep South Shootout. From both the perspective of a competitor and a volunteer inputting hundreds of scores at a time, no system felt great.

So he came up with this crazy idea: why not build one that is easy to use and better for everyone? In that very Steve Jobs moment, Touch Scoring was born! As the system evolves, Eric's main focus will be working with event managers to ensure all their registration and scoring needs are met, and to solicit feedback from those manager, athletes, and attendees to make the system the best it can be.

Quan, aka the Tech/UI/UX Extraordinaire

Quan probably didn't know what he was getting into when he first agreed to help Eric "build a scoring system". In a matter of weeks, the size of this project changed from "let's make scoring better" to "let's make a crazy awesome system that manages the whole athlete-side of the event". Quan reached into his pocket of tech goodies and went to work!

Quan uses the most cutting-edge technology to build systems that are not just fast and efficient, but also have an extremely intuitive interface for an easy user experience. From every aspect, he's thinking about how this will look to the people who are using the system, and he engineers the system to ensure no manual is needed!
