From the online entry system to the awards programme: entries, communications, dashboards, volunteers and the whole print pack — in one place. Built for the people running small and large events.
LudumEvents is what replaces all of it.
Organisers run the event. Coaches show up with their crews. Volunteers keep the day moving. Ludum gives each of them only what they need — and nothing they don't.
“I've got 200 crews, 47 clubs, a printer waiting on blade artwork, and a forecast that's about to change.”
“Did the start time change? Where do we park the trailer? Did anyone send me the new draw?”
“When am I on, where am I, and what am I doing?”
Everything a regatta director already does — just done in one place, in a tenth of the time, with a record of every action.
Drop in your Entry system download, clubs, events, crews and competitors land in seconds. Re-upload anytime — race-day flags and sent invites survive.
Reach one coach, one crew, one event, one club, the committee, or every coach you've got — with push first and email as the silent backup.
Clubs overview, doubling-up alerts, crew status, payment progress — the spreadsheets you used to chase, alive on a screen.
Generate a print-ready boat number for time trials, with club, event and crew info. Create T-shirt name list, blade colours sheet, programme infographic and some social media posts.
Create the shifts you need, share one signup link, watch capacity tick up. Each volunteer gets their own timetable for the day.
Most regatta directors set up Ludum in a single sitting. Here's the path from a fresh login to a coach's phone buzzing on the towpath.
Clubs, events, crews and competitors populate. Branding, dates and your sender email go in once. Your race-day eliminations and sent invites are preserved on every re-import.
Bulk magic-link invites go out, deduped by email. Coaches install the app, see their crews, and you can start composing. Re-clicking only emails new coaches — never spam.
Send the wind warning to every crew on the water. Swap a lane. Mark an elimination. Hand the printer the brochure pack. Watch read-receipts roll in.
Ludum started inside the National Schools' Regatta — one of the busiest three-day rowing events in the World, with hundreds of crews, dozens of clubs and a coach for every one of them. The communication tools didn't exist. So we built them.
The result is a platform that takes the messy reality of a competitive regatta — coaches who run for three clubs, last-minute draws, the wind picking up at the wrong end of the course, the printer who needs the blade brochure on Wednesday — and turns it into an inbox you can actually run an event from.
It's now generalising to any multi-club rowing event.
Set up your event, import your entries, send your first message in under ten minutes. No card, no contract, no IT ticket. We'll talk pricing only when you've seen the value.
