Ianseo

i@nseo: what’s that?

i@nseo is a software for managing archery tournaments results, created as Open Source program, thanks to the economic support of the Italian Archery Federation (FITARCO). The Italian Federation decided to distribute it for free throughout Europe, first, and, then, all around the world. After being translated into several languages (more than 30, though its user interface was originally created in Italian), i@nseo has become the world most up-to-date software for managing archery competitions, the only one that embeds all the rules from World Archery (WA). It constantly evolves, not only to fulfill the new WA requirements, but also to meet the needs of all its stakeholders, from the most important Federations to common users.

Thanks to i@nseo, anyone could manage an archery competition, head to tail, starting from accreditations and ending with printed documents, without forgetting the live video displaying of results (TV, Network, YouTube, and so on). The software is also related to a working group, known as ‘i@nseo Team’, which boasts the best expertise in organizing and managing archery tournaments in the world. After the initial testing process (in the ‘90s), i@nseo has become the official tournament management software in 2006. From that moment on, its creators used it to manage the most popular events in the archery world: Olympic Games, World Championships, European Championships, Grand Prix Rounds, World Games, Universiades, University Championships, World Archery Festivals, and many other tournaments, as important as the European Junior Cup and all the Italian National Championships for all the disciplines and classes.

i@nseo as Team is also the official scorer for the Italian Archery Federation (Federazione Italiana Tiro con l'ARCO, FITARCO), the WAE (World Archery Europe), formerly known as EMAU (European and Mediterranean Archery Union), and several World Archery events.

i@nseo: a unique name

The acronym ‘i@nseo’ comes from some selected letters extracted by its creators’ names, the so-called ‘i@nseo Core Group’:

I = Ardi (Ardingo Scarzella)
@
N = Andrea (Andrea Gabardi)
S = Chris (Christian Deligant)
E = Teo (Matteo Pisani)
O = Marco (Marco Carpignano)

In the last years, some new members, in support of the main team, joined the creators group, helping them during some major events, where accuracy, coordination and organization is needed, creating a team, whose managing skills and organizing expertise are offered and guaranteed worldwide. This manual was originally conceived to give anyone the chance of exploring the program in all its functionalities and to increase the number of its users.
