tournamentrater.com
Something I've been working on and ready to start rolling out. The thought behind it is to give teams, coaches and team parents a user-driven rating site (kind of like Yelp) to make the most of their weekends at these tournaments and ensure the kids have a great time while waiting to play their next game.
I'm still adding tournaments as I find them, but would love some feedback on the site and easy of use. Feel free to submit ratings as well!
Nice job so far.
Home page Footer should be fixed to bottom of viewport. Looks funny on a big screen right now, half way up the screen.
There are some structural things that I think could be improved.
Obvious thing to me is that you should have categories by sport. There are lots of sports where this would be useful, and your domain is tournamentrater not hockeytournamentrater, so right away you set the expectation that there could be tournament info for different sports.
I also think it would be good if you formalized the structure of items in your sections. Since you seeded it with your own reviews, that looks great and offers a lot of info, but once average people add reviews, the quality and amount of info will degrade rapidly. Clearly you know what you want to have, and you could add a tag like feature where people could just tag from the list you already have provided. Example: Awards & Recognition:
Championship Banners awarded to Champion for each division
- Plastic medals were given out to tournament champions
A user being able to add these as tags to that section, will help maintain consistency. The input text boxes should just be for general comments above and beyond the standardized facts, or for things you already haven't added as a tag.
Good luck with the site.
