01

Automatic WKF brackets

The karate tournament system generates round-robin or single-elimination brackets based on category size. Its algorithm minimizes color swaps between consecutive WKF matches. The entire competition runs digitally, with zero paper.

Live tatami management

Karate categories are assigned to tatamis, and the queue order can be edited live. Tatami staff start WKF matches directly from the interface, and match status — start, finish — is visible centrally in real time.


03

ETA and QR-based competitor info

The software calculates a start time for every WKF match, accounting for breaks. Karate competitors scan a QR code and follow from their phone when and which tatami they're up next, eliminating unnecessary waiting.

04

Scoreboard for all WKF match types

Handles kata, kumite, shiko dachi, and sponge kumite per WKF rules. Every point and penalty is reversible, logged to the millisecond, and editable afterwards. The karate scoring system beeps at 15 seconds remaining and at time expiration.
