Is there a free trial or demo? +

Do I need to install any software? +

No. Everything runs in a standard web browser. No downloads, no apps, no installations.

Operators, coaches and audience displays all access the system via URL — works on any laptop, tablet or phone.

Does it work for both ITF and WT taekwondo? +

Yes. The system manages competition structure — brackets, rounds, scoring — independently of ruleset. Works for ITF, WT and independent styles, plus karate, kickboxing and other martial arts.

How quickly can I set up a competition? +

Under 5 minutes for a basic event. Import your contestant list via CSV, generate brackets with one click, and you're ready.

Competition Day
How many rings can I run at once? +

Quick Match and Starter: 1–2 rings. Standard: 4 rings. Professional and Federation: unlimited rings. Extra rings can be added to any plan for £25 each.

Can volunteers use the system without accounts? +

Yes. Generate device links for each role — operator, scoreboard, coach, referee — and share the secure URL with a PIN. No login credentials needed. Perfect for recruiting local volunteers on the day.

What devices work with the system? +

Any modern browser. Phones, tablets, laptops, desktops. iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux — all supported.

For best results: a tablet for the operator, phones for coaches, and a TV or projector for the audience scoreboard.

What if the internet drops during my event? +

Scores are saved locally in the browser, so the system keeps working without internet. Data syncs automatically when the connection returns. We still recommend a backup mobile hotspot for larger events.

Can coaches see live scores? +

Yes. Red and blue coach devices show real-time scores and match status. Generate a coach QR code, share it with your coaching staff, done.

How does the audience display work? +

A dedicated URL displays live scores, current match, upcoming fixtures and rankings. Project it onto a TV or large screen — updates automatically as matches progress.

Registration & Entries
Can contestants register online before the event? +

Yes. Create free or paid registration forms and share the link. Entries appear in your competition automatically as soon as they submit. Customisable fields, entry fees, payment options — all syncs to your event.

Does paid registration handle payments? +

Yes — powered by Stripe. Entry fees are collected from contestants online and paid out to you, minus a small platform fee. PCI-compliant, secure.

Can I import my entry list from a spreadsheet? +

Yes. CSV import with columns for name, club and category. Upload your spreadsheet, contestants are added instantly. Make corrections anytime before or during the event.

What happens with no-shows? +

Use the Sign-In / Attendance feature to mark which contestants have arrived. Remove no-shows from brackets before generating matches — saves time and avoids empty fixtures.

After the Competition
Can I print certificates? +

Yes. PDF certificates for both winners and participants. Bulk print or download individually. Includes contestant name, category, placement and your event details. Fully branded.

How long is my competition data stored? +

90 days after your event ends. Email reminders at 30 and 7 days before expiry. Export everything as CSV before the window closes, or pay £10/month to extend storage.

Can I export my data? +

Yes. CSV download from the admin panel. All results, scores and match data included. Use for your records, analysis, or import into another system.

Pricing & Billing
Can I upgrade my package? +

Yes — upgrade anytime from your dashboard. Mid-event upgrades take effect immediately. We credit your existing payment toward the upgrade cost.

What payment methods do you accept? +

Visa, Mastercard, American Express via Stripe. Federation tier customers can also pay by bank transfer.

Do prices include VAT? +

Prices shown are in GBP. VAT is added at checkout for UK customers based on registration status. Your invoice itemises the VAT separately.

Technical & Security
Can I stream my competition on OBS? +

Yes — Professional and Federation include OBS streaming overlays. Transparent browser sources for scoreboard, ticker and bracket views. Copy the URL, paste into OBS, done.

Is the system secure? +

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS). Device links use PINs to prevent unauthorised access. We don't store unnecessary personal data. GDPR-compliant.

Can I customise the branding? +

Yes. Upload your logo — it appears on scoreboards, certificates and audience displays. Available from Starter and above. Customise colours and text to match your club or federation.
