Use case · Multi-ring open · Standard tier (£349) and up

Four rings. One unified event. One platform.

A regional open or interclub series with 4 rings running simultaneously is genuinely difficult to coordinate. Shared judges. Different categories on different rings. Fighters with multiple events spread across mats. A unified running order that has to update every time anything changes. We built the platform for exactly this — and the £349 Standard tier covers 4 rings up to 200 contestants.

Why multi-ring is hard

The coordination problem.

Running one ring is easy. Push a match, score it, push the next. Run two rings and the timing's still manageable. Run four and you've got a coordination problem — one fighter is in three categories spread across three rings; ring 2 is running 15 minutes ahead so half its judges should redeploy to ring 4; ring 3 has a fighter who's late to mat because they didn't see their name on the call list.

Most clubs handling this on paper just accept the chaos. A volunteer with a clipboard runs between rings; another shouts category numbers from a megaphone; the running order on the wall is updated with biro every twenty minutes and is always slightly wrong. The event finishes two hours late, parents are ratty, and somebody usually leaves before their kid's category gets called.

Multi-ring software is what closes that gap. Each ring has its own operator console; a unified running order shows the queue across all four; judges paired to multiple rings see whichever ring's match is live; and the audience screen cycles through every active match in real-time. The clipboard volunteer's role becomes "run the front door, not the whole event."

A typical 4-ring event

What's running on each ring.

A regional open with 200 fighters across all four taekwondo formats — sparring, patterns, padwork, breaking — and a sensible split of categories per ring.

🥊

Ring 1 — Sparring

Senior & junior sparring brackets, single elimination, full mat-side scoring with paired judges and ref mode.

🥋

Ring 2 — Patterns

ITF tul and WT poomsae, panel-judge scoring, pair patterns and team patterns in the afternoon.

🦵

Ring 3 — Padwork

Speed kicking and combination padwork, time-trial format, per-fighter leaderboard.

💥

Ring 4 — Breaking

Power and speed breaking, points-based, technique-by-technique judging.

The coordination layer

What "unified" actually means.

Shared judges across rings

Pair a judge to ring 1 and ring 2. Their device shows whichever ring has a live match. The system holds matches that need a shared judge so they don't clash.

Unified running order screen

One TV at the warm-up table shows the queue across all four rings. Fighters see exactly when and where they're up regardless of which ring their category is on.

Cycling audience scoreboard

One big screen at the front of the venue cycles through the live match on each ring every few seconds. Audience can follow whichever ring their fighter's on.

Drag-to-rebalance

If ring 2 is running ahead of schedule, drag a match from ring 1's queue to ring 2. System rebalances. No physical bracket rewrite, no announcements — just a calmer event.

Per-ring operator consoles

Each ring has its own operator on a laptop. They focus on their ring; the system handles the cross-ring coordination above them.

Event director dashboard

One screen shows all four rings at once with timers, current matches, queue depth and any flagged issues. The event director sees the whole picture without walking the floor.

Common questions

For event directors.

How many rings can I run at once? +
Quick Match and Starter cover 1 ring. Standard covers 4 rings. Professional and Federation are unlimited. If you need a specific number that doesn't match the tiers — say 6 or 8 rings — use the bespoke calculator on the pricing page; extra rings are £25 each.
What about judges who serve more than one ring? +
The system handles judge sharing properly. A judge paired to ring 1 can also be paired to ring 2; their device shows whichever ring's match is live. The unified running order ensures matches don't clash on a shared judge — when ring 1 starts a match the judge is on, ring 2 holds until the judge is free.
Does the audience scoreboard show all rings? +
You have two options. One: a separate scoreboard URL per ring, casting to a separate TV per ring. Two: a unified scoreboard view that cycles through current matches across all rings every few seconds, on a single big screen. Most multi-ring events use option two — one big screen at the front of the hall, individual ring displays at each mat for officials.
How do operators coordinate across rings? +
Each ring has its own operator console. The unified running order screen shows what's live on every ring plus the queue ahead. The event director can see the whole picture and reorder matches across rings to balance load. If ring 2 is running ahead of schedule, drag a match from ring 1's queue to ring 2 with one motion.
What if a ring goes down during the event? +
Move the affected matches to another ring via drag-and-drop on the running order. The system rebalances automatically. Categories remain intact; only the ring assignment changes. Total downtime: about 30 seconds, plus the time to physically move fighters.
Which package fits a multi-ring event? +
Standard (£349) for 4 rings, up to 200 contestants — the typical regional open. Professional (£799) for unlimited rings and contestants — for large national-style events. Both are one-off per-event fees, no subscription. Federation tier (£7,999/yr) covers unlimited events across the year.
