## Description

Ensemble is a game-changing solution for running a color guard or other alternative
sports circuit using WordPress. Finally, all of the data you need in one place, 
and it’s all tied together: venues, contests, seasons, units, unit directors, and
more.

Note: Ensemble serves only as the data layer. There are a wide variety of rich connections
between the data, which can be managed via the WordPress admin, but this plugin 
serves only to create an entry point for tying all of that data together.

A sister theme is in the works to bring all of this to the front end in the near
future.

#### Contests

Contests are central to how Ensemble works. They’re tied to venues and seasons, 
which are in-turn tied to everything else.

#### Venue Management

Being able to manage canonical venue data is what ultiamtely allows for so much 
work to be done once instead of once every season.

#### Competing Units

Units are the heart and soul of any sports activity, and Ensemble has designed them
to be super easy to tie in to everything.

#### Unit Directors

People management is important too – this first version of Ensemble has a Unit Director
component baked in from the start.

#### Season & Time Management

Season creation with start and end dates means no more confusion about which contests
are current and which have already passed.

#### What’s Next?

Integrations will be coming soon in the form of sister theme for the front-end and
support for popular calendar & eCommerce solutions.
