Since FreeToastHost (FTH) has helped some users win best website in some districts for promotion and club management for members, including officers, can the team consider adding features for contest management similar to Toastmost.Org? It's not hard to recreate contest management for integration with Zoom and Google Suite tools, but it is an investment that would make FTH an even more complete solution for Toastmasters districts and clubs.

Currently, it seems some are marketing other tools over FreeToastHost for these additional features that may seem more aesthetically pleasing (or professional), user-friendly, and/or functionally differentiated. Thus, I'd like to explore ways that the community can help support FTH in staying competitive and evolve with the needs and wants of its users.

We are not trying so much to be like other systems, we are trying to be consistent with the "ethos" of FreeToastHost.  (simple, free, and just the essentials that will benefit a lot of clubs)  Also, some of those other systems essentially copied some of our ideas.  (like our Name Tags feature) 

Therefore if you have some specific suggestions regarding contest management that makes sense to add to FTH, please let us know.   However, keep in mind that contests only happen a couple times a year typically, so I would be interested in things that have a lot of value for the time investment needed.
