Abstract
A system for administrating tournaments and rounds, includes an automated server that collects tournament, round, player, score and statistic information, e.g., for golf, via text communication, and calculates and distributes standings, rankings, and points data derived from, the information to players and spectators via text communication. A text communication device accepts input of information to be collected by the automated server and sends the information to the automated server in a text communication format. The automated server distributes the data derived from the information to the text communication device via text communication, so that collection and distribution of information and data occurs in a near-real-time fashion via commonly available text communication methods.
