Bowling tournaments meet Web3 automation
The problem StrikeChain solves
**** This is a link of a video that shows navigation and functionality of the platform:
Organizing traditional sports tournaments — such as bowling competitions — remains heavily manual, opaque, and prone to miscommunication. Players often face slow registrations, unclear payment tracking, confusion over tournament rules, and lack of transparency when it comes to rankings and prize distribution.
StrikeChain solves these problems by introducing a fully integrated Web3 solution for sports tournaments. Our platform offers players an intuitive Web2 portal to register, select participation packages, and easily onboard to a sponsored Web3 wallet. Payments for entry fees, side games (like rebuys and bonus challenges), and prize pools are processed transparently through a smart contract, guaranteeing that funds are automatically allocated between prizes and operational fees without intermediaries.
With StrikeChain, tournament organizers gain operational efficiency, players enjoy a faster and fairer experience, and sponsors have direct visibility into user acquisition and engagement. The project will launch with La Negrita 2025, one of Costa Rica's most emblematic bowling tournaments, setting the foundation to expand to other sports and events across Latin America.
Challenges we ran into
-Meeting the tight hackathon deadline while implementing all planned features required careful scope management
-User interface design that balanced blockchain complexity with intuitive user experience demanded multiple iterations
Despite these obstacles, overcoming them provided valuable learning experiences and ultimately strengthened the final project.
*Adding Team Members to this DevFolio Dashboard was a challenge, we are hopeful that support will mannually fix it. Thanks!
