Top Gun Sports USA

When one thinks of the name "Top Gun", images of Tom Cruise screaming through the sky in an F-14 might come to mind. But there was a line from the 1986 blockbuster movie that rings true still today. It was said that being in Top Gun means you're the "best of the best". That is what founders of Top Gun Sports, Robin Phillips and Donnie Broome, are striving to achieve...and they are getting there fast.

Objective​

Our goal for Top Gun Sports USA is to continue support of their legacy Visual Basic / .NET website (Play Top Gun Sports), which will hit its end of life date in 2027, while we continue to rebuild and migrate features to a more modern Next.JS website (Top Gun Stats).

Additionally, our original objective for Top Gun Sports USA was to create stats profiles for their players by leveraging data collected by coaches using GameChanger. We hope to continue to expand on this feature to ecourage more interest in the site and Top Gun Sports USA's events.

Altogether, our goal is to facilitate and increase entries and payments for Top Gun Sports USA's tournaments and events, and support the business critical tech features needed to host and run said tournaments.
