Vision

For the FLL Igualada organizers, volunteers, and participants who need to efficiently manage the competition logistics and track real-time progress, the project FLL Backend is an event management and scoring system that allows for seamless coordination of teams, judges, matches, and multimedia content. Unlike manual tracking methods, our system enforces specific FLL rules (such as unique matchmaking constraints), validates volunteer roles, and provides an engaging, mobile-accessible experience for the community.
