Niche tournament scoring SaaS for other sports (e.g., pickleball)

Adapt the LiveTourney template to underserved sports (pickleball, tennis, cornhole), selling simple tournament software to clubs and leagues.

Summary

Use the same lightweight QR + leaderboard approach but target other growing niche sports and community leagues. The video explicitly suggests building scoring/tournament software for other passions (example: pickleball). Niche communities often lack simple, affordable tools adapted to their rules and event formats.

Problem

Many niche sports and community leagues either use generic tools that don't fit their formats or rely on manual/inefficient scoring.
