The Preferred web"service" was free. . . so on one hand we should not complaining about the lack of service; we got what was paid for. On the other hand, it was a major PR, and business fail for Preferred Systems to not be able to provide what they offered.

There is a license fee for the use of the tournament software which is paid by the KSHSAA in order for all regional hosts to have it available for use.

The cost of ownership for Preferred is less than Track; but Preferred is being left in the dust in regards to spectator usage, and in my opinion, tournament management. What one gets for the extra cost of using Track MORE than makes up for the increased cost.
