Certified Problem Solver

SBD Tournaments (Kings Hammer SBD) is a verifiable and substantial event management business organizing over 40 soccer tournaments annually across the US, including major showcases with 750+ teams. External search confirms significant scale, likely multi-million dollar annual revenue, and partnerships with major brands like Nike and Gatorade. However, the project submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing lazy claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and erroneous financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the business has high real-world utility and traction, it lacks proprietary technical innovation, operating as a service business using third-party tools (GotSport). The score reflects high business solidity heavily penalized for submission quality and lack of custom technology.
