Depending on the type tournament you are wanting to run some might be better than others. I don't recommend BTM5 by CDE. It is a glorified league software that is not user friendly for the standard team/doubles/singles type events. They don't even have recaps in the software for singles and doubles, it prints team recaps that are the same as used in their league software. Substitutions are a major pain as are average corrections and lane assignments are a major pain in the backside. Only thing good is a bracket package is included but it won't run high pots.  Can't say what else is out there. I keep telling USBC they should sell their tournament package, can't be any worst and is used by local and state associations now.

Roll with 900 Global.
