All-New Reel Time Admin

February 5, 20244 min read

We've completely rebuilt the Reel Time Admin from the ground up. The result is a faster, simpler experience designed for tournament directors who need to manage everything from one place.

Our Story

We started out building apps and live scoring for our family-run billfish tournaments. Then other tournaments started calling, asking if we could build them an app too.

In the beginning, we just did mobile apps and live scoring. But over the years, we kept adding what tournaments needed. Online registration about 10 years ago. Payout calculations and website widgets about 7 years ago. And now SMS messaging and GoPro integration.

With so much built up over the years, it was time for a fresh start. New design. Everything in one place. That's the new Reel Time Admin.

What's New

Lightning Fast

Everything loads instantly. Click something and it happens. No waiting, no spinning wheels.

Favorites

Quick access to the pages you use most. Star your favorites and get there in one click.

Works Everywhere

Manage your tournament from your phone, tablet, or computer. It just works.

Smart Dashboards

The dashboard changes based on where you are in your tournament. Before fishing, you see registrations. During fishing, you see catches. After fishing, you see payouts.

Registration Dashboard

See registration status at a glance. Open and close registration with one click. Track who's paid, who's pending, and view stats everywhere.

Fishing Dashboard

Today's catches, recent scores, and live graphs. See what's happening on the water in real time.

Money Dashboard

After fishing wraps up, see winners and payout stats. Everything you need to close out the tournament.
