When is clicked, the input data is transmitted from the client device 4 to the reception device 1, and the CPU 11 of the reception device 1 that has received the data at the communication unit 15 stores the input data in the RAM 12.

The CPU 11 retrieves the group partner from the group partner undetermined database 14e based on the data stored in the RAM 12 (S20). The search is performed on the condition that the number of partners in the group satisfies the specified number and the partner conditions are satisfied. In the present embodiment, there is only one undecided partner, so it is only necessary to search for a partner who satisfies the partner condition. The search result is stored in the RAM 12, and the communication unit 1
It is transmitted to the client device 4 via In the client device 4, for example, the search result is displayed in the partner information column of the screen shown in FIG.

The operator of the client device 4 sets notification approval (S22). According to the setting (0, 1, 2, 9), registration (9), change (1, 2), or deletion (0) in the undetermined partner database 14e is performed. When the registration or change is performed according to the setting (S24: YES), the registration or change instruction is sent from the client device 4 to the reception device 1, and the communication unit 15 receives the registration or change instruction by the communication unit 15.

Similarly, the CPU 11 determines the group partner undetermined database 14
e is updated to delete the data (S28). Thereafter, in the same manner, the reception device 1 receives a request for participation or a change in registered content of an undecided party.

Here, when the partner information exists, it is not possible to make a change such as participation class, partner condition, registration (without notification approval), which requires modification of the group partner. Also,
For example, in the case of a competition of a pair of men and women, it is necessary to specify a gender different from that of the applicant for the partner condition. These restrictions are checked by the CPU 11 when stored in the RAM 12.

The CPU 11 confirms whether or not there is an undecided partner who needs to be notified, for example, every predetermined time interval or whenever the undecided partner database 14e is updated. For example, FIG. 15 shows an example of a group partner notification processing procedure for notifying a group partner undecided person. The CPU 11 confirms the contents of the group undecided database 14e every time the group undecided database 14e is updated (S40), and when the group partner to be notified is newly registered (S42: YES), The contact is notified (S44). A group partner who needs to be notified can be searched based on “approval” in the group partner undetermined database 14e. When the other party who needs to be notified is not newly registered (S4
2: NO) or after the notification (S44), the process returns.

The contact address of the notification includes the mail address, and the notification is made by electronic mail. The contact information of the notification also includes a telephone number or a fax number. If there is no mail address, the reception device 1 may contact the association terminal device 5 by e-mail or the like to request a telephone or fax transmission. it can. The undecided party who has received the notification accesses the screen shown in FIG. 14 and sets the master / slave settings to be different from each other according to the group partner. The access to the screen shown in FIG. 14 and the master / slave data update are performed in the same manner as the above-mentioned procedure.

For example, the CPU 11 confirms whether or not there is a participant who has been approved and the group (master and slave) has been confirmed, for example, every predetermined time interval or every time the group partner undetermined database 14e is updated. FIG. 16 shows an example of the procedure of the participation application processing for accepting the application of the applicant who has decided the group partner. CPU11
Every time the group partner undetermined database 14e is updated,
Check the contents of the undetermined partner database 14e (S5
0) If new data obtained by mutual approval is found (S52: YES), the application database 14c
(S54). Furthermore, application database 14
The data registered in c is used as the undecided party database 14e
To delete (S56). The data for which mutual approval has been obtained can be searched based on the “group partner” and “approval” of the group partner undetermined database 14e. If there is no data that has been mutually approved (S52: NO) or deleted (S56)
Then return.

If the prescribed number of people is satisfied, click "Apply" on the screen shown in FIG. 13, and select "Group code", "Individual serial number", "Participation" as in the screen shown in FIG. Enter "Class" etc. to apply for participation. The input data is sent to the acceptance device 1.

When accepting applications, the CPU 11 of the accepting apparatus 1 gives a priority order in which the combination of battles is dominant in the order in which the applications are accepted. For example, in the case of the battle combination pattern of the tournament shown in FIG. 17, "1""2""3""4"
Is likely to become a seed in this order. The tournament battle combination shown in FIG. 18 is an example in which 11 sets of applications are accepted. The priority order is recorded as the competition order in the application database 14c. The tournament is recorded in the game settings of the event schedule database 14d.

Conventionally, the participant with the worst performance is
In many cases, the combination of battles was decided so as to compete with the participant with the highest grade, and dissatisfaction occurred from participants other than the top performers. The results are based on the group database 14
It is recorded in the registrant information of b, and when the competition rank is large, it is also possible to determine the combination of the competition so as to avoid the competition with the high-ranking person.

As described above, the combination of battles is determined based on the priority order (competition order) according to the order of application acceptance, so that the situation where the battle combination is always the same is prevented, and the application is early even for a participant with poor performance. Because the battle will be slightly advantageous,
It is possible to encourage early application.

In the present embodiment, the accepting device 1 is
Although the form realized by using one server device is shown, the form is not limited to this, and the form that realizes the reception device 1 by combining a plurality of server devices such as a web server device and a database server device. Good. Further, the databases 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e can have a required database structure according to the relation of each data.

In the above description of the embodiment, the case of a doubles competition such as tennis has been described, but three or more people such as basketball or baseball form one team (1.
It is essentially the same in the competition. For example, in the case of baseball, one person who wants to participate can be combined into one team. In this case, the group partner undetermined database 14e (FIG. 5) has a plurality of group partner items, and the application database 14c (FIG. 6) also has a plurality of sub-participant items. In addition, the group undecided database 14e (FIG. 5) includes information on the number of participants. When combining 4 and 5 undecided opponents, the application can be accepted in the same manner as described above. When combining two, three, and four undecided parties, the search will be performed so that the number of participants will be the specified number, and notification will be sent by email to the search results of the two groups that have received approval, and notification will be given. If approval is received from both parties, the application can be accepted in the same manner as described above, such as accepting the application for participation.

According to the present invention, since the participation desire information of undecided group partners who are less than the specified number is stored in the storage unit,
An undecided person can find the group partner by searching the participation request information in the storage unit. Since it is possible to apply for participation with the found group partner, it is possible to apply for participation by undecided parties. It is possible to increase the number of participants because the application is made even if the other party is undecided. In addition, when a pair is formed with the found group partner, the mutual approval of the group partner can be confirmed by approving it, and dissatisfaction with the group partner can be reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, an undecided group partner can search the participation request information in the storage unit to find a group partner matching the number of persons and conditions. For example, it is possible to perform a search by designating conditions such as age or sex, and to find a group partner that matches the desire. Since it is possible to search for a group partner with conditions that meet the wishes, it is possible to reduce dissatisfaction with the found group partner. It is possible to increase the number of participants by reducing dissatisfaction with the selection of the other party.
