OTTO EVENT, formerly SportWrench, has been appointed the official event management provider for Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Volleyball. The multi-year partnership, commencing with the 2026-2027 season, will encompass all national-owned AAU volleyball events, including major championships and regional tournaments.

The agreement will provide AAU Volleyball with OTTO EVENT's comprehensive suite of tournament management capabilities. This includes registration and athlete management for over 100,000 participants, AI-driven scheduling, real-time scoring, digital ticketing for over 300,000 spectators, and official management tools. The company's AI-powered scheduling engine and real-time operations dashboard are key components of the offering.

OTTO EVENT stated that the partnership signifies a significant expansion in youth volleyball technology and reflects its rapid growth in the market. The company has recently secured agreements with other major youth volleyball organizations and national qualifier events across the country.

"Partnering with the AAU is a significant moment for OTTO EVENT," said Eugene Tichenor, GM at OTTO EVENT. "With nearly 315,000 active volleyball members and an unmatched lineup of events nationwide, to be selected as their tournament technology partner is both an honor and a responsibility we take seriously." AAU President Jo Mirza added that the collaboration aligns with the AAU's commitment to providing athletes with the best experiences and opportunities, enhancing the sport's accessibility.
