Liga Futsal : Sistema para organizar torneios de futsal

Abstract

The way amateur futsal championships are organized, such as those held in educational institutions and non-professional teams, still largely relies on manual processes, using printed lists, spreadsheets, and scattered notes. This method requires additional effort to track, update, and maintain organized data throughout the tournament. In this context, this work proposes the development of a web-based system to organize and manage futsal tournaments. The system is developed using PHP, HTML, CSS, and MySQL, adopting an architecture based on dynamic pages and CRUD operations for data manipulation. The application features a relational database that stores tournaments, teams, players, matches, and results, allowing this information to be registered, consulted, and updated in a structured way. The system implements an automatic ranking and tiebreaker mechanism based on goal difference, updating the leaderboard in real time as results are entered, as well as a tournament closing feature that automatically defines the champion team and prevents further modifications to the tournament data. This functionality reduces common errors in manual calculations and makes tournament management much more reliable. The proposal aims to provide organizers with an easy-to-use and efficient tool capable of streamlining the management process and keeping all tournament data centralized and accessible.
