Frequently asked questions

Martial Cup is competition management software for combat sports. It runs online registration, weigh-in, draws, live scoring, mat-side screens, broadcast, results and rankings, and adds federation tools (licences, national teams, accreditation, travel, reports) and a club panel. Sumo Cup and Wrestling Cup are its sport products.

Sumo and wrestling run on it today. Judo, karate, taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, MMA, kickboxing, boxing, Muay Thai and sambo use the same registration, weigh-in, draw and results engine; the scoreboard and scoring rules are configured for the sport before your event.

It depends on who you are. National and international federations get one annual plan sized to the federation — every module included, no fee per competitor and no commission on entry fees. Organisers of small tournaments pay an affordable price per event. Clubs pay a flat monthly plan with no per-member fee. Write to us and we send a quote the same week.

No. Many tournament platforms charge every athlete a booking fee or take a percentage of entry fees. Martial Cup does not: federations pay a fixed annual plan, organisers a fixed price per event, clubs a flat subscription. Entry fees stay with you.

Yes. A one-day club or regional tournament can run on a low per-event price with registration, weigh-in, brackets, live results and printouts included. You do not need a federation contract to start.

Yes — features on demand are part of the offer. If your federation needs a ranking formula, a selection report, a new scoring rule or an export to your ministry, we build it into the platform, usually within weeks. Because every sport shares one core, a feature built for you also gets maintained and tested with every release.

Yes. Age groups, weight classes, tolerances, draw systems (single elimination, repechage, round robin, pools, play-offs), seeding, scoring and tie-breaks are configured per sport and per federation, not hard-coded.

Yes. Weigh-in, draws, live results, reports and status changes keep working offline on the devices already open; everything syncs when the connection returns. Sports halls rarely have reliable Wi-Fi, so this was designed in from the start.

The interface is translated into English, Polish, German, Ukrainian, Greek, Spanish, Bulgarian, Russian, Italian, Japanese and Norwegian; each product chooses the languages its federation needs.

The federation or organiser is the data controller; we act only as the processor under a written data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). Consent forms, parental consent for minors and authorisation forms for coaches and administrators are generated by the system. Hosting is provided by Convex, Inc. (USA) under Standard Contractual Clauses.

Yes. Each sport or federation can run as its own product with its own name, colours, logo and domain — like Sumo Cup and Wrestling Cup — on the shared, tested core.

A demo on your categories and rules is ready within days. A first event can run within weeks, with our support at the venue.

Yes. Every event has a public page with live brackets, results by mat, medal tables and athlete profiles; mat-side TVs and broadcast overlays show the same data.

Yes. Start lists and squads come from Excel or CSV, and historical results can be imported into athlete profiles so records and rankings start complete.

The platform runs in any browser on phones, tablets and laptops and can be installed as an app. Mat operators, weigh-in desks and coaches use it on whatever device they have.
