The honest story
Why this exists.
If you've ever helped run a Saturday interclub, you know the routine. Brackets pencilled onto A3 paper that morning. Names shouted across the hall every time a category starts. A clipboard with a tally column for points. Parents trying to follow the score from the back of the room. Fighters pacing the warm-up area going "am I up next? did you call my name?"
It's how the sport has run for forty years at club level, and it works — until it doesn't. Until the bracket has to be redrawn because two fighters didn't show. Until the timekeeper loses track of the round. Until a coach gets a different score from the corner judge than what the desk has written down.
The big federation tools fix all that — for tens of thousands of pounds, with hardware that lives in a flight case for eleven months of the year. They were built for World Championships, and they work magnificently there. They were never going to fix Saturday at the dojo.
The thing was missing in the middle: a tool that runs a proper competition for a proper club, on the phones and tablets the volunteers already brought.
What we believe
We're a small UK team. We come from web software, not from sport governing-body politics. We watched our local clubs run brilliant interclubs on whiteboards and felt that there had to be a better way that didn't require a federation grant. So we built one.
Every club deserves real-time scoring
Not just the ones with national-team budgets. The technology to do it has been cheap and obvious for years; the software hadn't caught up.
The hardware bar should be zero
If you've got internet and a browser, you've got everything you need. The phones in your volunteers' pockets are the scoring system.
Pricing should match event size
£39 for a Quick Match night. £349 for a full open. Federation-grade for federations. Per event, not per fighter, no annual lock-in.
It should work for our sport
Sparring, patterns, padwork, breaking — not a racket-sports tool retrofitted to martial arts. Style-agnostic scoring, so it works for taekwondo, karate, kickboxing and the rulesets in between.
What we're not.
We're not a federation. We don't sanction events, run rankings, or replace your governing body. If your event is on the WT pathway and needs Daedo PSS for impact-detected scoring, you need Daedo — and we say so on our comparison page. We sit alongside that infrastructure, not against it.
We're not free. Open-source bracket tools exist; spreadsheets are technically free. We charge enough per event to keep the lights on, support the platform and write the next feature. Not enough that a club instructor reads the price page and walks away.
We're not finished. The platform launched in 2024 and we ship improvements every few weeks. If something doesn't work the way your events need, tell us. We read every email.
Where we are now.
UK-based, UK-supported, used by clubs and associations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The scoring engine is style-agnostic, so it sits comfortably alongside ITF, WT, TAGB, FEKO and independent rulesets. Five flexible plans from £39 per event up to £7,999/year unlimited Federation access — and the same Real-time Scoreboard, Real-time Matches Running Order, Real-time Multi Device Scoring and Free Registration are standard on every one of them.
If you run events for a club, an association or a federation, and you've ever wished there was a tool actually built for what you do — that's why we're here.
