Tournio
Taking the chaos out of tournaments.
THE PROBLEM
Players and spectators can struggle to locate the correct fields during soccer tournaments, leading to confusion, delays, and a less organized tournament experience. There is a need for a simple way to help attendees quickly identify and navigate to the right field so tournaments can run more smoothly.
THE SOLUTION
Tournio addresses field confusion by giving players and spectators one place to quickly find where they need to go.
USER INSIGHTS
I conducted qualitative and quantitative research by observing attendees at two different games in a soccer tournament. I identified themes common in both games based on my observations of the attendees.
Not enough parking.
The nearest parking lot was too small to accommodate all tournament attendees.
No nearby amenities.
Accessing food or washrooms required at least a 10 minute drive from the field.
No clear field indicators.
Fields were not marked which created confusion for teams and other attendees arriving for a scheduled game.
HYPOTHESES
I proposed two hypotheses and selected hypothesis 1 to base the design on because there is a direct user pain point capable of improvement through design: better communication and navigation.
SKETCHES
My concept originally consisted of a field directory and a separate tournament scheduling app. However, I realized that the directory is most effective at addressing the tournament confusion and would more likely be used as an app.
WIREFRAMES
I created wireframes with an updated layout and user flow, and a clearer narrative that targets the problem through strategic use of layout and hierarchy.
