Resumo:Snooker is one of the world's fastest-growing sports. With the advent of technology, clubs and players worldwide need digital solutions that integrate seamlessly with their playing experience. However, when analysing this market, one comes into the realization that there are few fully integrated technological systems. We implemented a fully integrated solution which allows club managers to register their players, create and manage games and tournaments, and then compile business statistics to help them know their business better. On the other hand, players were able to keep track of their scores and statistics, receiving information on how to improve their game, thus increasing their engagement with that club. To accomplish this, we created a web application that will support a digital scoreboard and a mobile application for players, clubs, and club managers, which incorporated many innovative and differentiating functionalities. This master thesis work describes the design and development of this project, analysing current research and market solutions, proposing a technological architecture for an innovative solution, and finishing off with the analysis of the solution developed.
