The Trofeo San Martino is an International Military Shooting Competition which is organised in Ticino, the southern part of Switzerland. The goal of this project is to automate the application process and to provide a simple online platform to manage the subscriptions.
The first online application form has been deployed in 2007. This has been a big step forward in the management of subscriptions: moving from the standard mail and facsimile application to the electronic version allowed to simplify the data gathering mechanism and speed up the whole process from the subscription to the rankings generation.
In 2007 the competition was tailored in a way to be integrated in the bigger event Armeetage 2007, which took place in Lugano from 20-25 November 2007. 597 participants in 199 Teams did take part in this competition.
In 2008, the event counted 447 applications, 343 participants, and more than 150 collaborators.
