Description
This backend event scoring system was designed for robust and consistent performance in live, in-person settings. Since its initial deployment, it has demonstrated a strong track record of reliability at various events, including the BCC Choir Contest and the HRAB (Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio) beauty pageant. To maintain its efficiency and reliability, the system has undergone rigorous load testing and performance optimization. Additionally, security measures have been implemented to protect data and prevent unauthorized access.
